"Under sold" domain names

[domainking131]

Every domain broker wants to sell their domain name listings for as much money as possible. Sometimes domain names may appear to have been under sold (sold for less than full value), but that is not necessarily the fault of the broker.

A domain broker is generally given certain requirements from the seller. This short list likely includes a desired price, a minimum price, the amount of time allowed, companies to not contact, and possibly some other requirements. The biggest factors are obviously the amount of money and the time permitted to sell the domain name.

Some reasons a domain owner might need a quick sale include:

• Need cash right away
• Tax implications
• Business situation requiring disposal of assets
• Hit quarterly or annual goals

Timing is everything when it comes to domain names. I could own a domain name for ten years and never receive a single inquiry. The week after I sell it to another domain investor, a buyer may materialize and acquire it at a profit for the new owner. This is one reason there is an active aftermarket amongst domain investors. Just because one person did not sell a domain name for its maximum value doesn’t mean the domain name will not sell for more in the future.
