UKNM: Selling domain names

[Severina Publications]

Yoiks! Someone out there touched a nerve!


There's a big difference between the following scenarios:


1)

Mr A sees that www.mcdonalds.com is still available and decides to purchase

it in the hope that he can make millions selling it.


That's stupid



2)

Mr B sees that www.divorcelawyer.com is still available and buys it in the

hope that one day someone will purchase it from him for far more than he

paid for it.


That's greedy



3)

Ms C works for weeks with a company, purchases the domain name

www.itvacancies.co.uk, she and her team put in over 100 hours of programming

work for THE ultimate jobsite, company involved disappears from the face of

the earth so Ms C is left to find a buyer for the domain name, at the

highest price possible, in order to recoup some of her losses.


That's business


No-one in their right mind would purchase trademark names these days, but it

is possible that scenarios 2 and 3 happen a lot. 2 may be greedy, but it's

life, and it happens. We're all here to make a profit in most cases - web

designers that use my services and then place a 500% mark up on them -

they're doing it, it's exactly the same.


Some of us are stuck in the number 3 situation and are looking to get some

money back on the time and effort invested in a project, some of us are just

out to make a profit on something we bought.


How many of you out there sell everything on at cost? Cos, hey, if that's a

profitable business notion, then i'm happy to follow it, but let's face it,

we all add a mark up to things we sell on, whatever it may be.


Or maybe i've got it wrong and that plus figure in my bank account at the

end of each month is a bad thing, not a good one.......
