Common questions
How a sale works
What changes hands, how the money moves, and how long the transfer takes.
What exactly am I buying?
A full transfer of registrant rights in the name. The name becomes yours to develop, redirect, hold or resell, with no ongoing obligation to the seller, no revenue share and no strings on what you build with it.
Is the price negotiable?
Every name here is sold by negotiation rather than a fixed list price. Send a figure that is sensible, and you will receive a sensible answer.
Do I have to take the whole set?
No. the name can be bought on its own. The set is offered because owning one spelling and leaving the rest on the market is how a brand ends up sharing its own name. However, splitting a set renders the remaining domains less valuable, so may nudge up the asking price to compensate.
Can I pay in instalments?
On higher-value names, yes. A lease-to-own arrangement is usually structured over 12 to 24 months. The registration stays with the seller until the final payment clears, and you get use of the name throughout by pointing it wherever you like.
How is payment handled, and what protects me?
That is settled between us before anything is binding, and you are not asked to accept a mechanism you are not comfortable with. Propose whatever suits the size of the deal — a direct bank transfer against an invoice, or a well-known third party service holding the funds until the name is confirmed in your account. Where a mechanism carries a fee, the buyer covers it, which is why the choice is yours to make. Take whatever time you need for due diligence first. The form is only the first contact; the reply comes from a monitored mailbox and the negotiation happens over ordinary email.
How long does the transfer take?
The push starts as soon as payment clears, and usually completes the same day. Between accounts at the same registrar it takes minutes; moving the name to a different registrar is bound by the registry's own timers, which can run to several days and are outside anyone's control.
Do you accept brokers?
Yes. Say so in your message and identify the party you act for. Commission is a matter between you and your client.
