Simple, plus totally trustworthy with Eric behind it. Eric will treat you right, except he has dog slobber all over him, so if you can get past that, then you're good. ;-) Rick Latona, he's big in this industry. However, I have domains I sell regularly for good prices that he's turned me down on. He's never accepted one of my premium domains for sale, including a domain that beat one of his domains "lumbermills.com" he posted for $12,000, and i offered him "LumberBusiness.com" (siginificantly more popular and hierarchally ahead of lumbermills.com". Surprisingly, he turned down sellling LumberBusiness.com. I think it's just a personal thing... he doesn't like Vikings. ;-) I am also a domain broker, and I sell more domains under the radar than most of the names you listed. However, I usually sell those domains by using Eric Rice's dncartoons.com. lol I find that listing domains with Sedo, Afternic, and Snapnames private auction system continually create domain sales for me. But I agree with Eric when he says "bad domains simply "WILL NOT SELL". This doesn't mean that if your domain doesn't sell, that it's bad, it means your price is too high, or the right buyers just didn't get the sales info on the domain on that day. I've had the same domains offered one week with no response, then offered again at the same price a month later and they sold. Quality of domain, pricing, timing, and marketing reach. (QPTM) Also remember there are many unique marketing plans for selling domains, one of the best being "gee, I have 1000 domains, many of them worth $1000 each, but how valuable will they be for me if I sell all of them for $100 in a month --- making $100,000?" If you're OOTB registered domains are sitting around, you need quick cash, a mass bulk sale promotion for domains at $100 each with a minimum of three domains purchased, can make you a lot of money quick. It's been done many times before, and even I am thinking of doing it so I can set aside some outdoor activity upgrades to my day Ranch i'm getting ready to buy. (Like a go cart track, pool, recording studio, walking trail with exotic flower gazebo, outdoor fire pit, tennis court, etc). What do I want more? 1000 domains I can wait a few years to sell for $500k as cherrypicks, or $100k right now that I can enjoy using to build up my ranch property to invite special domainers and their families over for a weekend of fun? I advise my clients to look at their domains closely, separate the domains that have extreme premium value, then premium value, then medium generic value... and think about those longtails... do you want to really try to renew and promote, renew and promote? If so, then contact WhyPark and do it right. I think DNCartoons.com as run by Eric Rice is the best email domain broker newsletter. Simple, plus totally trustworthy with Eric behind it.

Complaining that Rick Latona didn't sell your domain is not fair. Newsletters like mine and rick's are just one avenue of many ways to sell domains. The best features of newsletters is very little commitment from the seller. You can give it a shot and if it sells great, if not go try other avenues. I'd estimate that about 15-20% of domains in newsletter sell. So yes you are going to have a lot of domains not sell. I am sure if we started a post about Moniker auctions we would get a huge number of folks that had not been able to get domains into the auction and further many domains that do not sell even when in. HOWEVER, I STILL THINK MONIKER AUCTIONS AND OTHER AUCTIONS ARE A GREAT PLACE TO SELL DOMAINS also. Even the best domains need the seller to focus on a wide range of ways to sell that domain. Further bad domains simply WILL NOT SELL, no matter where you market them. Regards, Eric DNCartoons.com Everyone needs multiple ways to sell domains.
