I don't know what I'm doing differently to anyone else to be honest.. About half of the names we go for these days are for ourselves, and the other half to sell. For those..
- I read the lists
- Pick out names I think might be worth something
- Have a scout around any see if I can find any potential buyers
- If I think I've got a few potential buyers who stand to benefit, I'll try and catch the name
- For the names I catch, I'll contact all of the potential buyers with a variation on a standard-ish sales letter I have
- Sometimes they'll bite and I'll close the sale
- Failing that, I'll bump up the domain to its 'shelf price' and leave it on Sedo
What else is there?
All of the names we go for for ourselves are fairly heavily themed.
