awesome results well done

Congrats - some great sales there. Were they on the netfleet AMA? If so did you market them directly to end-users?

 

[jhellyer]

Thanks guys.

Na not on Netfleet, never had any luck there.

Yeah just went direct to the people I thought would need them most. Simple courteous email letting them know they were for sale and if they had any interest to contact me.
Nearly got knocked over in the stampede for managementrightsales.com lol.

Nice result! Do you make a habit of contacting people directly or was this your first experience? Sounds like a smart idea.

 

[FirstPageResults]

Good to hear, congrats

 

[jhellyer]

Thanks again.

I always go to the end users direct, seem to get a much better result and a better pay day than selling to other domainers, especially with all the other crap domains I have..lol

 

[Mat]

Very nice result. Congrats.

Do you set a price initially or do you wait to see if they are interested?

I always figured you were a smart guy deep down. I don't know why others suggested you weren't.

Good effort Jason.

Hi Mat,

They all differ a little mate, but usually I ask for a little higher than what I want for the domain but also let them know I am open to offers...they then seem to think they are then getting a bargain. Worked so far....lol

Great work.

You would if you listed the domains there then contacted the end-users and pointed them towards the auction. It's a better environment for competition (even on standard listings) than just emailing a few people. Or even do it on eBay - as long as you can rustle up a few interested parties.

Anyone noticed a pickup in unsolicited sales activity in the last few weeks? I've had a heap of offers coming through both via NF and direct.

Sold ltr.com.au for $1,300 (NF) and Rockschool.com.au for $800 (Direct) yesterday, Q8.com.au (NF) for $1,000 on Monday plus getting interest on other domains. Anyone else or just a blip?

 

[jhellyer]

Ebay...that's not a bad idea! Cheers Dave.

No worries - anything to get them into a competitive bidding environment!

Dont forget ya mates

 

[DomainNames]

wow maybe the phrase "you can't polish a turd" is wrong.

Awesome result considering the names!

Maybe try your hand at domain sales brokering?

 

[Rhythm]

Great!

Care to explain this one to me?

Indeed, with results like the above, I'd be willing to offer you a healthy commission. If you interested feel free to PM me.

 

[jhellyer]

Great!

Sure, I sent an email out to about 20 management rights agents and I received 6 offers in 2 hours....that is all I meant. Usually I only get 1-2 interested parties, so 6 is a stampede.
