Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Domain Escrow
Domain escrow is a service that allows a transaction to be handled by a 3rd party to make sure both sides honor the purchase agreement. On purchases over $5000, we split escrow service fees 50/50 with the buyer if requested. For transactions below $5000, a buyer can request escrow but is responsible for the fees.
Q: Why buy an Aftermarket Domain?
In many cases, a quality domain name for your business can not be freely registered. To secure a premium level domain, smart business people are now exploring the aftermarket and making investments for their online presence. Many major corporations have started to see the power of generic domains themselves; have a look at a sample of 100 Corporate Owned Domain Names.
Q: Do you own the domains for sale on this site?
Yes. Any domain showing the "Market Yourself" label indicates we own the full right to sell the domain name and have ownership control. If we broker someone else's domain, it will be clearly labeled as a brokered domain name.
Q: Will I own the domain name after the purchase?
Yes. After purchase you will have full rights and control of the domain name.
Q: What are the payment options?
Bank wire, Paypal, Credit Card. We pay half of the escrow costs for domain purchases over $5000. On certain domains we can arrange installment payments. For a 12-Month installment plan, 20% of purchase price is needed as a down payment. For an 18-Month installment plan, 35% of purchase price is needed as down payment. You will have full use of the domain after we receive the down payment by switching the DNS to your server. After the last installment is made, we transfer full ownership.
Q: What exactly does " Request a Price Quote" mean?
When you fill out the price quote form with an legitimate email address, we send out a price quote for the domain you are interested in to that email address. We guarantee the quote you can acquire the domain at this particular price usually for 2 business days but sometimes longer if it is specified in your price quote. After that time period, the price is no longer guaranteed but we may still proceed with the sale. If you are serious about the domain and feel the price is reflective to the value, we suggest you secure the domain for yourself.
Q: Can I make a counter offer to the price quote?
Yes, but we price our domains competitively. If your counter is of at least 70% of our price quote, we will note the offer in our records and update you on any price changes to the domain.
Example: Joe is quoted $5,000 for "sampledomain". Any offer
above $3,500 will be noted as a backup offer. If we decide later to take your offer or reduce the price, we will update you of either occurence.
Q: Does your pricing change?
Yes, like all assets it is affected by inventory, demand, and market conditions. Although pricing on a domain is variable, we try to be as consistent and straight forward with everyone as possible. We constantly track price requests and offer amounts we get, and evaluate sales of similar domains in the industry. These are 3 major factors for pricing domains in our inventory.
