[QUOTE="TheLegendaryJP, post: 2211019, member: 63897"] Let me say this, I have not had a trade at afternic or paid much attention to them until recently. MANY years ago was a forum member and did a handful of trades with members but that was it. So a few months back I join up and add a handful of names for sale, why not. Today I get an email, inquiry asking for a price on BLANK.com, both bin and floor. The name is a great one, 18 years old, generic, one word and good traffic daily. I know values but to ease your mind lol I call the sales team directly to discuss and this is what follows. Hi this is BLANK how can I help you. Hi, I am calling because of an inquiry and wanted to discuss the bin and floor price. Ok, what is the name and your username? I tell him and mention my bin. Oh no, that is way too much, that will never go for that! I reply "what" really, you know I have sold 15 similar (said category) names for between $50k-$$$,$$$ each they were ( and I list them off). This name is at the top. Oh, well good luck but I doubt it. Ok thanks but here again is why you are wrong ( I list age, traffic, uses etc), and say bye. I swear the time he was on the phone was 30-45 seconds before saying "it will never go for that". He did not know the age, the end user potential, traffic stats or comparables. I was saddened that it appeared his only goal before taking a breath was getting me down to make a trade. I understand sales, I have been in real estate for 14 years on top of the domaining but what a turn off it was. And they want 15% LOL At least I can say Frank's DNS brokers WORK for you, I see it but this shows how different your rep's can be and how it can hurt you if weak. [/QUOTE]
