Should I Sell My Domain Name?
Posted on | March 19, 2009 | No Comments
The answer is easy for me: No. Would eBay sell its domain names? Would SmallDeadAnimals sell theirs? Would you sell your name? No.
I got an email today, appropriately sorted into the Junk Mail folder, offering to buy my domain name IF I got it appraised. Well, it costs $23US to get a value for my domain name, which I pay about $5/year to own. Judging by the amount I make each year in free stuff or from sponsorship, I could get a pretty penny for the name.
Dear sir,
we are interested to buy your domain name TWENTYPLENTY.COM and offer to buy it from you for 65% of the appraised market value.
As of now we accept appraisals from either one of the following leading appraisal companies:
sedo.com
pedma.com
accuratedomains.comIf you already have an appraisal please forward it to us.
As soon as we have received your appraisal we will send you our payment (we use Paypal for amounts less than $2,000 and escrow.com for amounts above $2,000) as well as further instructions on how to complete the transfer of the domain name.
We appreciate your business,
Thanks,
