Do People Really Want To Sell Their Names

mibut · 27-10-2006, 10:38 PM

It makes me wonder when you have threads with names for sale and statements such as "I dont have time to offer stats for them all sorry" or "here are some domain names in Spanish for sale" without any translation of what the names mean in English.
I'm quite sure that if people put some effort into "selling" their names that (a) they would sell them and (b) actually achieve something nearer the prices asked.

hahah you make me laugh..ok say if i was selling 20 domains and i got 100 people wanting stats, that would take up more time thus i would want more for them, hence putting that. At the end of the day i dont need to sell them i am just giving other the opportunity to buy them for development as i am fully booked for the next few weeks/months. If people want them they are there if not no worries

Then again if you wanted to sell your domains http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/uk-dom...aus-co-uk.html you would put a fixed price instead of saying offers invited.

Practice what you preach......

I think you are both right. I remember selling one of my let properties, i didn't even bother doing it up prior to selling even though this is how my landlords make money. Time is limited so you have to specialise, paullas felt that his approach was right for him because his time was better spent on something else.

yes lee, people do have different ways or time and selling domains. If i get the odd enquiry i will get stats :0 but if i get hammered (hopefully

) sorry i dont have time.

Nothing against anyone...I am just quickselling.....

Personally; if I was selling a 'website' as going concern and quoted income it was receiving, then quite rightly I'd be expected to supply stats. If I'm selling a domain name, then that's what I'm selling...Just a name!

Not the stats, just the name. If someone wants it, then they obviously have their own plans, and whatever traffic it currently receives should have no bearing on how they wish to promote or develop it.

Obviously if the 'name' receives good - massive amounts of traffic, and I wanted to use that as a selling point to attract potential customers that's all well and good.

If you have the stats readily available quite simple to put against domain name in the thread then you do not have to answer 100 enquiries individually.
It is accepted practice in all forms of selling to accept offers or a fixed price,

Why not?
Is it because you are not practising what you preach?
