ICANN Make FIFA Look Legit! In My Opinion

 Mark As Read    

  If you're a soccer/football fan you will be aware of the current debate about FIFA and the corruption that seems to be endemic throughout the FIFA organisation. In my opinion when it comes to domain names, ICANN aren't that far behind.  I'm relatively new to domain brokering but I've been buying and selling domains for almost...

Caveat Emptor ~ ?Let The Buyer Beware?

 Mark As Read    

  We all know domain thieves abound. Oftentimes they do it via something as simple as a run of the mill keylogger. Hint, secure your PC and laptop. Other times it's malicious code sent via email. There are many techniques but the results are the same. Compromised systems mean eventually names will be stolen. As a broker

Who Says There?s No Money In Domains Anymore?

 Mark As Read    

  I read with interest Rick Latona's recent post which stated more or less that he's had it with domains and is investing in other areas. His main reasoning was "It is our opinion that the market won't recover any time soon, if it recovers at all. We feel that domains just aren't worth that much anymore

Natural Born Gamblers?

 Mark As Read    

  Dress it up however you like, Domainers are natural born gamblers. If polls were taken on the typical personality profile of the "average" Domainer I'd say that most would show that a Domainer has a propensity to gamble. Life's a gamble and that's fine  unless of course the house usually wins. It's a numbers game...

N.D.A?s Are A Drag But A Necessary One

 Mark As Read    

Aside from deals falling through at the last minute, buyers not keeping their word, sellers changing their minds, deals stalling, bidders lowballing etc one of the biggest downsides about brokering high end domains is not being able to disclose them when you finally manage to sell them. N.D.A's (Non Disclosure Agreements) prevent a broker making pu...

If You Don?t Ask For Good Money You Will Never Get It

 Mark As Read    

All Domainers are equal but some are much more equal than others. Most domainers will never hit the heights of a Rick Schwartz*, Frank Schilling, Mike Mann et al. Most of us fall into the realms of making $1k - $5k profit on a domain sale if we are lucky. As a broker I regularly ask potential (and existing) clients

Short Domains ~ The State Of The Nation
