Hi
from your post, I can read, that you are influenced by stories of selling to the "end-user".
the goal, at least for me....should be, selling for the $ amount you have placed on the domain.
doesn't matter who the buyer is, as long as they can pay that price... or come reasonably close to it, where you feel satisfied with the return.
I sold hundreds on names to other domainers and sold names to others, who happen to "end-use" the domain name.
domainers can be "end-users" too. just as some "end-users" also practice domaining.
there is no shame in the game, for doing business with other domainers
so many of them have the resources to buy yours/mine or any other domainers names and can offer a reasonable amount.
then too, a lot are just lowballers intentionally and some by ignorance of value, due to lack of knowledge about domains in general.
if you're still even steven after 6 months, then all you really have to do is increase pricing on the best and liquidate the rest.
don't have to do it all at once, but start the process.
what
@Kate said above, about having patience and the quality of the domains you own, is the essence of success and sustainability.
if you don't have both or don't .strive for both, then you won't last long.
waiting is big part of it, the time waiting before you make contact and then again during that negotiation, if any.
that's where your patience level will be tested.
@stub makes good compliment about your maturity, during some sales transactions.
this too, is important part of domaining.
one should always try to be mature and conduct business in a professional manner.
I have sold domans which where held 10 years or more and the didn't earn any significant revenue before being sold.
and also have names for same period which have earned some revenue for the duration.
still, to me, it doesn't appear that you're too far off course, just have to keep practicing your strokes.
imo....
