May 1, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 22 Comments

So last week Rick Schwartz posted a semi – cryptic blog post. Some see it as a potential return to blogging. I thought either blogging or starting up a new forum, or conference. I had mentioned it in conversation to a few people over the weekend. One person asked me why I thought that was […]

April 24, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 8 Comments

Should women be avoided when trying to sell domain names?

April 12, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 8 Comments

NO! So a thread starter on Namepros posted the following: By selling domains to end-users, I got an impression that the women I contacted are absolutely not interested in buying domains. Since women in almost all industries are increasingly occupying managerial positions, this could constitute a major barrier to this domain selling mode (via cold […]

March 29, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 6 Comments

So back in May of 2016 I purchased a 29 domain lot of BrandBucket listed names. Cost $1,500. I really wanted 1 name, Inteleca.com, I liked some of the other 5 letter names and some I really didn’t love, so I thought I would lower the acquisition cost of the portfolio purchase and liquidate some […]

A big difference in negotiating a sale on GoDaddy vs Sedo

March 23, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 19 Comments

There is an art to negotiation, a risk taken by turning down an offer and countering for more. You may end up turning down an offer you believe is fair for the prospect of a better price. I kept most of my names at Sedo and over the years I have had my fair share […]
