Nice work - make sure you report them to DNJournal this time. As we all know it gets massive exposure amongst domainers which is great for the industry - not to mention DMP

Thanks Neddy.

There is plenty of interest from prospective buyers wanting to acquire names but actually getting them to sign the transfer paperwork and handover the money is a completely different ball game.

In my experience I'd say roughly 60% of the time the "buyer" disappears after a price has been negotiated and the sale falls through. Is this common for the rest of you?

Sad but true. I now have a list of time wasters and wannabes...

Sorry to hear that DMP. Happens squillions of times a day on eBay for general stuff, so I guess we've got to expect a bit of that too. Hopefully not too much though!

As a matter of interest, what do you believe is a reasonable timeframe to agree to purchase, pay and then do transfer paperwork on an average domain name (not necessarily high end)?

Yeah we get that a fair bit - nothing like 60% thankfully but it does happen. When we did those auctions a while ago 6 of the eleven bidders shot through :(

The other thing is I think buyers don't realise there is a transfer fee (or underestimate it) so when they've bought their domain for $200 then they see the transfer fee at $180, they reneg on the deal.

DMP - make sure you report those sales to DNJournal this time! I know I keep harping on about it but I really think it's important for the whole industry to see these .au sales come through.

As for Netfleet sales - here they are to round off the month of Aug:

cologne.net.au $200
aussietours.com.au $300
overseasholidays.com.au $320
cover.net.au $100
racerparts.com.au $422
selby.com.au $7,000
brothels.com.au $6,520
nationalrentals.com.au $750
chairs.net.au $220
winchelsea.com.au $30
mortlake.com.au $30
forrestbeach.com.au $30

We'll the transfer (including domain management transfer - if required, transfer of ownership paperwork, funds and the actual domain transfer) usually takes a week. Things can hold that process up a bit.. like payment method, the need for legal paperwork which is rare and the general interest by both parties.

When it comes to negotiating a sale that I cannot answer. Again it comes down the the willingness of both parties.

Many of the sellers have thousands of domains and after dealing with them a few times you get a feel for their expectations.. which helps a lot.

I let the prospective buyer know the expectations and then see what there response is before continuing.

To be honest I find the sellers who aren't greedy do the most business. Most of the domains I have sold are from the same 4 owners.

Yeah i know :) I have touched base with Ron and I will be sending him the details later in the week. So pressed for time at the moment and i need to scan some documents to be able to verify.

Yep LOL. Just ask Don!

This is very important. Probably the first thing I do is point out the actual price (offer + GST + transfer fee).

Couldn't agree more. There seems to be lots of sellers out there who just have "gold dust" in their eyes and will never come close to doing a deal. Then there are those sellers that are prepared to "leave something in it for the next person" - and they do deals and still make a fabulous ROI.

Hi David & Mark,

It would be great to know what your final stats for August were? Number of sales and value? It's certainly seems to be getting healthier!
