New Zealand - I found no active NZ brokers. The site Any.co.nz was
referenced numerous times on the Internet but is no longer in service
(Page Not Found). However, some of the brokers listed under U.S.
handle international names.
Canada - I couldn't locate an active domain trader or seller.

GENERAL TIPS
When you list your domains names for purchase, make certain you
specify that they are already trademarked as this should have added
value for a buyer.
The main advice seems to be "promote, promote, promote" - by putting
up a web site with "This domain for sale" on it, and/or by listing and
then marketing the names to businesses you think could benefit from
them. (I also suggest heavily researching your business market(s),
then executing email and snail mail campaigns toward the companies
best suited for the domain names.) This research might take a few
weeks to a few months to complete, but your efforts could translate to
excellent returns on your domain investments.
As you probably already know, Europeans are in a rush to secure .eu
names beginning only a few months ago. One such registry for the .eu
extension is http://www.europeregistry.com (just in case you'd like to
get some of those names).

SEARCH STRATEGY
"selling domain names"
"selling domain names" trademark
"selling domain names" trademarked
"selling a domain name"
"selling a domain name" trademark
"selling a domain name" trademarked
domain name sale agreement
[I also searched "domain name broker" and "selling a domain" and
"selling a domain name" combined with the country names you specified
(as well as the general "Europe"), and searched google.co.nz
specifically (no luck there). I also searched google.ca for Canadian
domain brokers, and google.com.au for Australian domain brokers.] |
