Real Names: I hope you're not sincere and actually encourage this sh*t. Tell me you're not that type of rip-off artist.
"Since the name is 'backwards" sell NOW. Due to language usage differences the EU buyer may not realize that."
Should have added in the post the EU buyer may not realize that 'it can make a big difference.' Really have no idea why you would say such crap. It is very clear the name is backwards, nothing is hidden, so how can saying it is backwards have anything to do with being a rip-off artist? You saying that nonsense makes you look ridiculous.
I am sure the EU buyers bid would be higher if the name was not backwards, i.e the kerryedwards.com name. It's just that in some nations a name seen as being 'backwards' does not make as big a difference as it does in the U.S.
I am sure it makes some difference but not a huge difference as it would in the U.S.. Sellers are not going to educate buyers and tell them negative stuff about names they want to buy when there is nothing at all being hidden and no one is being misled in any way.
P.S. It is common in some nations to use the last name first in some correspondence, or reverse names, including business names. I have seen it done that way quite often. That's likely why the buyer is from an EU country. The kerryedwards.com name is probably valued at $200,000 but edwardskerry.com is more like $2,000, IMO, but likely more to a foreign resident, depending on the nation. There is nothing being hidden and certainly no fraud involved selling such names.
