Sales template

[Coastalguy]

Got thinking about domain name sales threads at NamePros and how often they lack the necessary information (ie: registrar, expiry date, price, etc).

What if...

All sales threads had a "template" (correct term?). There would be a spot for the : name, extension, registrar, expiry date, price, reserve price, typo, offer good til, related info (google #'s, traffic, developed or not, etc).

I get frustrated looking up the WHOIS info on alot of names for sale here at NPs, not to mention other relevant info. If all sales threads had to include the basic info (the first 5 or 6 mentioned above) this would eliminate this problem.

Worth doing or just a pain in the butt?

I'm cool either way, just wanted to throw this out to the masses and read what they had to say.

Later,

Actually, I like the idea alot. Some required fields would simplify things for buyers and probably also help deter fraudulent sellers etc. I would suggest the idea to RJ and see what he thinks. Nice work!

Thanks for the feedback Gregory.

yeah I think something a little smaller. Perhaps just domain, registrar and expiry date.

Too much info will get to be a pain and is not always needed.

P.S. Anyone else noticed where your location is from CoastalGuy... or should I say Family Guy

Good idea, Scott.

I could probably create a special form for new threads in the Domains For Sale forum.

Want to post an example template here?

 

[Coastalguy]

Agree with Ryan that too much info would probably be a pain.

As far as a sample template RJ I'll leave that to the "experts". I'm just a "name" guy. Template should include:

name
extension
registrar
expiry date
price
(at the very least IMO).

Thanks,
ST

Great idea. I think a little more as CoastalGuy suggested- ie OV and Google would also help.
What about carrying the template idea over into appraisal requests also?

Great idea. I look forward to seeing it implemented.
