Hi! I wanted to share a recent experience I had with a domain broker and get your thoughts on it. This is just an example, not an actual case, but it got me thinking about the honesty of some domain brokers when it comes to pricing.
So, here's the scenario: A domain broker approached me via email, claiming there was a potential buyer interested in my domain name, and they were willing to offer $5,000. I decided to counter with $20,000 USD, and after some negotiation, we settled at $12,000 USD.
My concern is this: Could the broker potentially misrepresent the agreed-upon price to the buyer, stating that we settled at $20,000 USD instead of the actual $12,000 USD? This would create an $8,000 difference, which would presumably go to the broker.
I'd like to hear your opinions on this matter. Have any of you encountered similar situations or have insights into how to ensure transparency in domain transactions with brokers? How can we protect ourselves from potential dishonesty in such deals?
Feel free to share your experiences and strategies for dealing with domain brokers.
