why no domain brokers?

i am amazed actually. with the demand, why someone would not set up shop as a full out broker. i mean a real brokerage.

because most domainers have unrealistic price expectations, lol.

Most people here have enough to do marketing their own wares I guess. What is a broker going to sell here that the owner can't? Mind you, some domain owners don't like the idea of marketing, so I guess there's some mileage. I think you'd need to get a good domain-savvy telephone sales crew organised. Yes, perhaps it's a good niche for someone to take seriously. End-users are the key to making the idea fly.

i think alot of domainers would like for someone else to do the footwork and sell the name.
i would
if someone took the time to set up shop- make the connections- contact the right people-
it just seems like it would be quite lucrative.
places like sedo are a supermarket- i mean a real brokerage- they take on names, and follow up with whoever in that industry, building bridges, and making sales.

someone set up a brokerage!
