So people aren't buying the domains someone is trying to sell. Why is that? Maybe they just aren't selling them well, and they blame the buyer instead of themselves. @ eq78 – I hadn’t seen that NP thread before this, but it reaffirms my point.

Who is the end user for Brazil.com ? The tourism board ? I think domainers need to watch trying to sell the Country.com to the actual country some could use that as bad faith and find some local law to go after the domain. By the way there is the largerst Global slowdown in the last 100 years, I realize many domainers have no understanding of economics or world markets, but most companies have much more to think about then if they have the perfect name.

I recently launched a thread on NP about this how they dont get it. I admit that some domainers dont get it but when we are talking about pure generics that can bring traffic with pre-qualified leads but they would rather still spend millions on ppc and other traditional advertising proves most companies around the world "Dont Get It" One Day, Im sure One Day they will get it but only with our help. We all still need to preach the word of domains and there power to whoever we meet! I really agree with David J Castello.

One has to display the defendable facts and numbers in front of the other party. xyz.com has no value if it cannot be explained properly to the prospective buyer on how does now or could later return the initial investment. As Rick would likely agree, the sale has to be clearly visible more from the buyer's eyes rather than the seller's. Otherwise, its like Frank said, trying to sell someone "a bag of smoke". Then again, advertisers and our own government are selling us all smoke so maybe we are lost in the clouds and can no longer distinguish rational thought any longer and just think buying smoke is sane.
