Uniregistry<\/strong><\/a>, since late 2012. I met Frank Schilling during TRAFFIC 2012 in Ft. Lauderdale, and he showed me how his private platform was about to open to the public. I was “sold” immediately.<\/p>\nAs I self-broker my domains, and assign select domains to Uniregistry brokers when needed, I’m often surprised when a broker messages me about an inquiry they receive.<\/p>\n
I don’t always like this approach, because I don’t get to see who is making an inquiry or offer, and I prefer to gather as much information on the potential buyer as possible, prior to issuing a quote.<\/p>\n
The issue is that when querying domains listed in the Uniregistry Market via Uniregistry.com, that contact form goes to the brokers, even when the portfolio is self-brokered. This is not a glitch, but by design – and I fully understand that.<\/p>\n
Unless you set a BIN only price for your Uniregistry Market domains, something I scarcely do, that communication goes to the brokers.<\/p>\n
When they reach out to me, I have to explain that my portfolio is self-brokered and I don’t give out blind quotes for domains.<\/p>\n
Naturally, Uniregistry brokers are well-trained and well-mannered. They understand my reasons, and I understand that they have a job to perform, and they offer a service that comes at a 15% cost.<\/p>\n
Quite often, it’s well worth it to let them handle all the details, but I need to know some facts first.<\/p>\n
I appreciate their responses when I explain the circumstances of my refusal to issue a quote without knowing more details.<\/p>\n
Not every marketplace does that, and after more than 5 years with the Uniregistry Market, I’m looking forward to completing more sales, utilizing their brokers, or directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
As with every personal and professional exchange, the core element for success is communication. Establishing a set of rules on any transaction, domain brokerage included, ensures that things will go smoothly. The primary platform for my “for sale” domain portfolio has been Uniregistry, since late 2012. I met Frank Schilling during TRAFFIC 2012 in Ft.
