End user posing as a domainer

[domainseller200]

I have recently sold some domans to another 'domainer' who was actually acting on behalf of an enduser and I am talking BIG end user. I have to admit they were very smart in how they operated and conducted the transaction, which will become apparent when you see how they done it.

I did consider doing a blog post with the exact details of how it happened, but then thought it doesn't make sense to post the exact details in public as this 'company' might then become aware and change the tactic they are using.

I have already shared the details with a few others who have asked me via Twitter, but I am happy to share the exact details with anyone else who would like to know more, as it is worth knowing for future reference / other domain approaches.

Email me [email protected] and I will mail you back with details.

Can you post it in the "Exclusives" section?, that is hidden from Google.

I did think that Alan, but not many are exclusive members so wouldn't be able to have the heads up

Hi Frank.

I’m certain I’ve had the same happen to me in the past – but, with a .com.

I’m interested in how your contact played it out, thanks for offering to share

As I've mentioned to Frank, this is not uncommon in the States, i've even posted their commision rates here on Acorn in the past.

they quite often act as middlemen both soliciting (specific domains) and advertising directly to businesses and corporations. It was only a matter of time till a few here in the UK picked up on the ' apparent' success of the model in the States

No worries fellas - glad you found the information was interesting and you agreed that it was very clever like I did

 

[Bailey]

Agreed frank - that was a new angle to me

Thanks for the info, I suspect though, that if it hadn't have been trademarked this would have been a different story.

Thanks for sharing! Always do a KYC on buyers to the full extent possible especially when it comes to certain names. Very interesting transaction!

I would have felt like I had been mugged - a little bit! LOL!

 

[noonoo1]

Thanks for that Frank.

The sneaky little buggers!

Granted it is always good to know who you are selling to but it shouldn't really influence the way you deal with a sale. The price quoted is the same for everyone.
