Despite what Vod thinks he knows. This is NOT a sale, it is a collateral backed loan request.
And of this, we have just your word. And no way to hold you accountable should you abandon your account and disappear. :/
Nope, over and above my word, one has to consider the facts and then apply a bit of common sense, sure this does not negate the "risk" but as with any investment risks are always present and one needs to apply risk vs return thinking.
Now, keeping in mind that the loan amount I am requesting is around: $1200
1.) Fact - 1 of the 3 domains I am offering as collateral sold in 2009 for $6750, it is in the online gambling niche which is an evergreen big money niche. It is taken in 4 other extensions. This sale can be verified easily as it was recorded on the domain marketplace and is listed on Namebio. The other 2 domains are 17 years old and 12 years old, so just on registration fee's alone that's around $300 in cost, one of the domains is taken in more than 17 other extensions and is a product related domain and what is known as a category killer domain.
2.) Fact - If I wanted to sell the domains as you claim, I could easily sell the lot to other domainers for $1200. More so, seeing as I am a reputable member on one of the largest domaining forums around with over a million members.
3.) Fact - As much as domains are not at all as liquid as altcoins, if you are selling a domain with verifiable sales history for more than 80% less than it's previous sales price, the liquidity increases considerably. As with any asset, sell it for 80% less than the market price then how much faster do you think it would sell?
1.) Consideration - As stated clearly on my loan application, I am willing to be fully transparent with my personal details with the lender so if as you say I was too close my account and disappear then having my personal details means I can be held accountable.
2.) Consideration - If I were to default on this loan or not pay it back, I think the lender would be better off in terms of ROI. Considering his investment on the loan is about $1200 but he is sitting with $12 000 Worth of my assets. If he sold all 3 domains for even $3000 he would be getting far better ROI than the 25% interest I would be paying him back.
Based on all of the above, I think it's clear that it would be insane for me not to want my domains back.
