Wanted: Service Can you speak Danish? Broker opportunity

[grcorp]

- I have an LLLL.com which is taken in .dk
- Predictably, my course of action, is that I want to sell said .com to the owner of the .dk
- However, the language barrier presents a problem here
- That said, I'm looking for someone to broker this name for me, by corresponding with the owner of this name
- I'm figuring this name is realistically worth $xxx, but here's the incentive to make it as much as you can make it...
- I'm willing to pay you 50% of the sale price for the name, at a $250 minimum, for brokering the name
- Please PM me or email [email protected] if you would like to discuss this opportunity

Maxwell, I've been to Denmark a few times, and can't recall dealing with anyone that couldn't speak English - have you tried contacting them yet?

Dude, don't look for brokers unless you conclude you really need them after you try. They're expensive and most look after they own interests, not those of whomever is paying their commission (sorry, DNF brokers lol, but I call 'em as I see 'em), I've dealt w/my share of brokers especially in r/e, being with parties on both sides, and domaining isn't that different. Use Google Translator or an online translator of your choice if you find someone who doesn't know any English, but most in the Scandinavia/Nordic regions learn basic stuff in school, like jasdon11 referred to

I sometimes sell names to Chinese buyers and only after the names are sold do I find out they don't know any English at all, that they've been using online translators to both read and write. They're accurate enough in most cases. Just make sure you don't use complicated words or any expressions, then even Google Translator screws up... Or do you not want to use your own info for potential legal implications ? If so, then I get it. Sometimes brokers have connections and may know of someone who could be interested. But you already picked the potential buyer. So, unless for their possibly better negotiation skills I wouldn't use a broker. At least not at first. And I'm sure you have the negotiating techniques needed. Keep the first email simple since starting to say how the domain fits them as buyers may backfire if they begin to look into your ownership rights. It has happened to me and even when they saw the domain I was offering was clean they didn't go for it, but it was probably my fault

PS - Also, the 50%/$250 offer (whichever is greater) you're making to brokers is way too generous since you don't know for a fact they'll be offering you big money imo...But you should reword this clause if you give any broker an agreement, ie technically it reads that if they get you $600 they keep $300 (50% of sale price > $250), NP w/that, it's your $. But as it reads right now you're also telling them that if all they can get you is $200 they will not only keep all proceeds of $200 but you will in fact owe them an additional $50 ($250 is > sale price) It seems to me a good idea to rephrase. And that's the problem w/absolute amounts like $250. Lower that to a minimum of $50 (fair minimum for their time) and/or add a minimum sale price along w/a minimum commission of $50, that way you don't expose your ass as much lol...just a thought.... Good luck, anyway
