hey guys, i just joined a few days back.....
i like to call myself a "domain investor" rather than a domainer..... sounds classier.... :D
my third domain purchase was an IDN..... i don't want to talk about my first two......
i've bought a few more IDNs since then.... a few high profile ones that need ageing; and a few i'd like to transfer to the caring hands of a fellow domainer.....
and thats why i'm here..... and maybe make some friends along the way......
i do have a few questions about the auctions here, if you guys don't mind answering or guide me towards a link......
how do you guys do your transactions....
what i was thinking was to have an auction here, then i put a buy now on that domain at sedo; and have the auction winner buy from there......?
safe mode of transfer for both parties...... but the problem is, if sedo charges a minimum fee on buy now sales ($50), the asking price here will be too high.... (i've sent a letter to sedo asking whether the minimum fee applies for Buy Now sales, waiting for a reply.....)
Fee for "buy now" at Sedo is 10% but nobody here would go for that route.
Win an auction here and the deal is generally transacted via buyer and seller on a trust basis. Because there are members from around the world with dubious contacts anybody who reneged on a deal would have a knock on his/her door!
is escrow transactions safe.......
lets say i sold a domain....
.... i transfer the domain to the buyer....... but then the buyer rejects the sale, the payment goes back to the buyer; but since i already pushed the domain to the buyer, he gets the domain too......
am i not right..... am i missing something....?
For a high profile priced name it is wise to use Escrow.com, I don't think anybody here would have a bad word.Personally used them on many occasions.
would like to you guys to weigh in your thoughts......
happy domaineering.....
