Sedo sold over $1,000,000 in publicly reported .com domain sales over $1,000 last week. As mentioned yesterday, Consolidation.com was the leading sale at $220,000. They had several nice large sales in addition to the leading sale.

Active Sellers: Be Cautious of This Situation

Elliot Silver
-
5

I am an active domain seller, and I list my domain names for sale in several places, including forums, aftermarket marketplaces, and via private offers. I just realized I nearly put myself in a bad situation, and I want to make you aware of the potential for this type of situation.

Last week, I put a domain name for sale on a domain forum with a buy it now price. The name was also listed on Sedo, and it received an offer significantly lower than my BIN price on the forum a couple of days ago. I counter offered the buyer, he counter offered me, and I made one more counter offer, to which I have not heard back.

At this point in time, I am interested in selling this domain name quickly, so I was about to reduce the price on the forum. Just as I was going to do that, I realized I could get myself into a jam.

If I were to reduce my price on the forum and someone buys it, the counter offer I made on Sedo would still be available for that buyer to accept my offer. Should that happen, I would have two people who rightfully agreed to buy the domain name at my asking price, and I would obviously only be able to follow through with one. It would be an ethical dilemma that at best would leave a stain on my reputation, and at worst, it could lead to legal issues.

If you have an open negotiation thread at Sedo or other marketplace, you should probably not try to sell the domain name elsewhere at the same time. It’s a bit frustrating that I can’t cancel the negotiation from my control panel, but if I was a buyer contemplating a purchase, I would want to retain all the time given to me.

If you have more than one sales thread or outstanding offer, you need to retain control over them all, or else you could find yourself in a bad predicament.

BloomfieldHillsRealEstate.com – Giving Real Estate Agents Another Opportunity

A while back, I wrote a post discussing how I don’t believe many real estate agents really understand domain names. I’ve had very limited success selling domain names to real estate agents, and it’s also been difficult for me to sell ad listings to real estate professionals on my city .com domain names.

I am taking another shot at selling a real estate domain name to an end user buyer. As with all of my domain sales to end user buyers, my sales pitch is quick and to the point.

You’ll notice that I don’t mention a sales price in the email. I like to see how many replies I receive before naming my price. If I receive 10 replies, I believe it means there’s greater demand for this one of a kind domain name, and the price will likely be higher. Similarly, if I only receive one reply, my price will likely be more affordable, knowing that my prospects are more limited.

With domain names I am not developing, my business model right now basically revolves around quick/frequent domain sales. The most important factor for me is the price I paid to acquire the domain name, and I am happy to make a quick but profitable deal, even if it’s not a home run.

Here’s the email I am sending to prospects:

Good afternoon,

I saw that you sell real estate in Bloomfield Hills, and I want to reach out to you about a domain name my company owns:  BloomfieldHillsRealEstate.com.

Since I decided not to develop this domain name, I am now looking to sell it.  Would your company be interested in acquiring the domain name?

Regards,
Elliot

The domain name was sold to a company in Michigan this morning and is now pending escrow at Escrow.com.

Sedo Sells Consolidation.com for $220,000

SedoIn one of the largest publicly reported sales of 2011, Sedo domain brokers Ryan Colby and  Frank Aiello co-brokered Consolidation.com for $220,000. Prior to the sale, the domain name was owned by a Georgia entity, Enterprise Solutions Holdings INC. The buyer of the domain name has not been revealed.

Once the sale is officially recorded on DN Journal later this week, it will rank as the sixth largest publicly recorded sale of the year, just a few thousand dollars behind Driven.com.  Including this sale, Sedo brokered three of the top six public sales this year and six of the top ten.

Congrats to Ryan and Frank on successfully brokering the domain name. I was told Ryan is also currently brokering Runner.com.

Special Re-Post on How I Got Started

Elliot Silver

I want to re-share a post I wrote in November of 2009 with details about how I got started in the domain investment business. There are two reasons why I want to share this article with you again.

The first reason is that it’s a question I am frequently asked, and I often send people to this post when they do ask. Secondly (and quite sadly), the person who I credit with pushing me to start my own business was diagnosed with  Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, an incurable and fatal disease.

My parents are visiting with him in California this week, and I want to give a special thanks again to him. If it wasn’t for his advice, I would probably still be a Marketing Manager in corporate America.

Domain ConvergenceThe Domain Convergence conference will be happening once again in Montreal, Canada in a week and a half. The two day conference will take place at La Place D’Arms Hotel and Suites from May 12-13. Domain Convergence was found by, and is organized by Frank Michlick, who is also a co-founder of Domain Name News.

According to the conference website, “Domain Convergence is an exclusive gathering of domain name owners, developers, investors and entrepreneurs. Engineered for intimate attendance and maximum interaction between attendees, Domain Convergence is a hands-on, all-inclusive two-day intellectual extravaganza. Free from the hectic pace of most conferences, Domain Convergence is an opportunity for domainers from all over the world to share their experiences and new innovations in domaining and Internet Technology. Attendees will learn how to become better domainers by utilizing non-traditional methods and gaining new perspectives.”

If you want to attend the conference, registration is still available. Tickets are C $599.00 per person, and there are about 60 spaces that can be filled. You can also check out the agenda before booking your trip.

My wife is graduating from graduate school that weekend (5 year doctoral program in Clinical Psychology), so I won’t be able to make it up to Montreal for this conference.
