Need Help Selling A Great Domain Name!
July 15th, 2005I have purchased dozens of good domain names over the years, but haven't sold a great one before. But one of my companies is trying to sell the directory.net domain name.
From your experience, what is the best way to sell a good domain name like this? Should we list it on various broker sites (like greatdomains.com), hire a professional broker, or what?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When you find out let me know ;-)
I am trying to sell ContactMe.com at the moment. I have it listed on www.sedo.com
Another popular site is: http://www.afternic.com
The good news is if you list it on these sites, you can withdraw it for sale at a latter date if you sell it elsewhere. The standard commision is 10% and this includes escrow fees.
Have you gotten the name professionally appraised yet? If not do. It only costs about $20. http://www.sedo.co.uk/appraisal.php3?language=e
Best of luck with it, and if anyone is interested in www.ContactMe.com drop me a line, its actually a pretty cool email site. The whole site is for sale, or just the domain.

I'm on the other side of the spectrum. I'm looking to purchase a domain that's owned my a private company. Are there any services you can use for negotiating between a buyer / seller for domain names?

I've had good luck selling domains through Sedo. http://www.sedo.com

Yeah sedo will negotiate on your behalf as well. What i would do is get the name valued, then i would just negotiate the buy myself.
Is it a major domain? Eg over $10,000?

Have you put any kind of value on the domain name itself? Is it a working domain with a page rank or is it parked somewhere?
Before I would let anyone sell a domain name for me I would have some kind of idea on what it may be worth beforehand.
