I think the next focus should be on the seller being realistic about the prices for his/her domains, and learning to appraise their portfolio or hire someone to do it. Appraisal prices range from $99 per domain to $10 for bulk domains by specialists (I provide a bulk appraisal service). My advice for all domain sellers is to assess your strongest domains (by keyword popularity, traffic stats, rev, branding and other factors) and set them aside. Then you'll know which domains you will want to hold out for the best price after you have them appraised. However, for most domainers' portfolios, the quality of the majority of domains will be good to standard to -- well-- a loss. However, if you want to move them quick to gain cash to buy better domains, sell them for cheap, don't lose a sale for $70 a domain that's giving you a 1000% return on your $7 investment. Do 100 of those a month, and you're netting $6,000+. Then shop around for a better quality domain that has high resale or decent traffic rev.
