Off Topic.Advice please. Domain selling.

[Jorge Biquez]

Hello all.

I was wondering if you can give me your advice on the following.

A person that works on the following company:

-----------------------
SEDO
(sedo.com)
Manager regional -  América Latina
Sedo GmbH :: Colonia :: Alemania
tel [phone]
-----------------------

Contacted me telling he she has a client
interested in one domain we have and that she
will represent them in case we were interested in
selling. Talking by phone with her she mentioned,
by error I guess,  the name of a big company in
France (immediately change subject after
mentioned that and did not wanted to confirm the
name so we are not sure it is). She has been
insisting in making an offer, we said we would
like to see the numbers they offer. She did it
and after asking the procedure to follow in case
we say yes she told us that the procedure is to
pass, give the domain to their client and once
they say they received and have total control of
it then they will receive orders to release
money. Of course we say No and they have been insisting about buying it.

Have you ever heard of them?

I feel that procedure is a total risk in our side
since maybe once with the control of the domain
their client won't pay them and of course if they
pay them even this company could not pay us.

For those of you who have done selling of
domains. What's the normal procedure to follow?

Do you know of a company you can trust to let
them try to sell some domains we are interested in selling?

Thanks in advance for all your comments.

I've heard of them. I've even tried to buy a couple of domains through
them. It didn't work out, but not because of anything they did, but
because I refused to give large amounts of money to sleazy domain
squatters.

reasonably trustworthy.

I suspect the procedure is for you to hand over the domain to Sedo, and
they hand it over to the final client once the payment is done.

It's possible that the procedure could be different if the domain in
question is very expensive, I wouldn't know.
