just sold a very strange branadable domain that I meant to let drop via sedo for low £££.

I have now found out via the nom e-mail address it is to a millionaire entrepreneur who was director of company who will now use it and could have obviously afforded more. My point being that you never know who's on the end of these offers..

shit happens..

I think the name of the game is to take what you are prepared to accept. I think we've all experienced this; my last gutwrencher was a gambling domain that was bought buy Caesars through a third party

There's a big difference between willing and able. Some of these guys might have been able to pay more, but that's not that say that they would have been willing. Had you tried to push the price up, they might have just moved onto the next alternative.

Can you disclose the name ? it could be an interesting exercise.

Bailey

Well at least he used his genuine email once the deal was clinched - in my experience that's a real rarity these days.

I rarely if ever follow-up the history on a domain I've sold, though somebody emailed me recently to congratulate me on a "brandable" domain sale to Amazon - The truth being that I had sold the domain to the company that Amazon made the Multi-million buy-out of , A year after my sale.

I treat any good and succesful development of a domain I've sold as justification of my logic with the initial domain registration - reassuring when it comes to Brandables I can tell you

another problem with using sedo

seriously, why doesn't every domainer have their own dedicated sales site?

even a one page lander with contact details or form?
you can only blame yourselves

What about escrow ?

pred

escrow.com

or get paid bank transfer

i have sold many .uk to french, italians etc even and they never bat an eyelid when i asked to be paid by international bank transfer in £

uk buyers BACS

just invoice them with details

for really big buys xx,xxx same thing or use moniker escrow, escrow or again bank transfer

Simple solution.

Price according to what you're happy with for the domain, not for a particular buyer.

Those who do have a lot of money didn't amass it by getting overcharged on everything they buy...

It' s very, very rare for a direct enquiry to use a traceble email account when enquiring about a domain whatever the nature of the transaction. I know my pricing must be good by the number that agree to pay me prior to the domain transfer - I have to look to check my hand is still attached
