My head spins in amazement when I see some five-six figure domain sales concluded by Brokerage firms.
Many of these are only average domain names but fetch an awesome price. Is this some secret kept from the average joe domainer?
Recently there was a post by Hobi Michalec, a broker at DH, about how he sold BlueStar.com for $90k by talking to some over phone.
This raises a question: Is Cold-Calling more effective than Emailing Buyers?
People generally hate to be mailed about anything they are not concerned with. Call those emails SPAM, moreover email filters ensure that 80% of your emails go right to SPAM folder. So, it's pretty tough emailing.
When I started domaining about 18 months back, I tried cold calling a very long tail domain to a motor car business in VA and it worked like a charm, the domain sold for $750. But after that, somehow, I just stopped calling because calling can get really tiring.
Now, I have a few very good domains and wondering if I should resume calling for selling? Just listing on Sedo can be an endless wait and I can't be certain about the fate of emails but I would always know the fate of the Call.
Would you care to share your experience:

Would you care to share your experience:
1) How was your experience in cold calling someone to sell your domains?
2) Do you feel you got a better price for your domain on Call than on Email?
3) Do you still Cold-Call?
4) Have you ever been threatened or abused by those you Called?
