Here's a situation and I'd love to hear some feedback.
I have been sporadically buying domains over the last year. During that time, I shuttered a business and lost a family member. My follow-up which is normally very good, was slightly off during that time period. If I bought a name and had poor follow-up (here/Flippa etc), the seller generally gave me a poke to remind me. In the event that I had missed something, I always received normal/positive action from the other party...ie: "whoops, here's your domain."
I was going through my records last night and saw that a 6 lot purchase I made (2 different registrars) several months ago, only 3 names (to 1 registrar) went through. The other 3 names were NOT at the other registrar. I checked with the registrar and they told me the SELLER would simply have had to send ME the AUTH Codes, which I would then input and it would all get done... Sort of backwards of the way GD does it.
Here's the crux of the issue.... of course the value of the names (6L Numerics) had increased during this time.
My response from the person who was supposed to be the seller was-
Whoops. You let it "FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS, NAMES ARE LONG GONE. YOU HAD PAID ME $X, SO LET ME DIVIDE BY 6 AND SEND YOU THE $ FOR THE NAMES YOU NEVER RECEIVED.
I'M PRETTY $%%^^&&** ENRAGED.....
Yes, my follow-up was poor, BUT A DECENT HUMAN/ETHICAL PERSON SHOULD NOT BE RESELLING NAMES HE'S ALREADY SOLD.
This is far from over....just beginning.
What do you think????
