Using a proxy buyer<\/strong><\/a> in an attempt to acquire valuable domains isn’t exactly news.<\/p>\n

By utilizing a third party to negotiate the acquisition of a domain name, the actual buyer can save thousands of dollars. Not having to disclose the identity and true budget of the buyer, a good domain can be sold at a discount.<\/p>\n

The buyer takes advantage of a psychological trait of inexperienced sellers, that tend to adjust pricing according to who is buying, not according to the domain’s value.<\/p>\n

In the past, such third party offers seemed to arrive from European or Asian locales, such as Germany, Russia and India, but this seems to be changing.<\/p>\n

Recent inquiries shift the locale to Central and Latin America: Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Argentina and Brazil. The names and email addresses are definitely Hispanic, some come with complete Facebook profiles or extensive social media accounts, but they all share something in common: they are fronts for the real buyer, that is dispersing their negotiation pawns around the globe.<\/p>\n

In the future, don’t be surprised if offers of a legitimate price range arrive from China, with an introduction in flawless English and verifiable social media links.<\/p>\n

The secret to maximizing one’s return on investment is to treat each incoming inquiry as an attempt to “cheat” the seller and deprive them of their assets at a lower price.<\/p>\n

Domain inquiries that arrive from questionable locales should not be ignored, but be used to gather intelligence on the potential buyers that might be hiding behind those remote IP addresses.<\/p>\n

As time goes by, existing premium domains increase in value and scarcity. You can only sell them once, and that should be part of a reminder to yourself, next time an offer arrives.<\/p>\n
