In a given week, I receive dozens of domain inquiries for my portfolio, at Domain Name Sales<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not every inquiry is worth responding to, but I take the time to “ping” those that make the inquiry; sometimes, to educate them<\/strong><\/a> on the value of domain names.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, even though a sale seems to complete and the escrow process is initiated, the other party fails to pass the test of honesty and integrity and they do not proceed with payment.<\/p>\n

Such cases, however unpleasant as they might be, offer the upside of reviewing a domain’s potential from a different angle.<\/p>\n

For example, what made the deadbeat buyer risk their reputation and exposure of their name, not to mention, potential litigation from a failed contractual agreement?<\/p>\n

Often times, the buyer is a legitimate buyer, a company even, that decides to play a game of cat and mouse; as a professional domain investor I make it clear that failed agreements have repercussions.<\/p>\n

While it sounds like a threat, it’s actually a promise to myself to turn the failed sale into a successful transaction, for a higher amount of money.<\/p>\n

Essentially, the creation or affirmation of interest in a domain, sometimes at the very end of its annual expiration<\/strong><\/a>, generates a higher premium for its acquisition.<\/p>\n

In other words, the next time that I quote a price for that particular domain, it will be higher, not lower. Domain buyers should understand that there is only one opportunity to acquire a particular domain name, especially as the market becomes overly saturated by extensions that increase the value of aged, generic domain names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
