ACQUIRE A DOMAIN FROM DOMAIN DAKINI or DOMAIN SAGE
It's Fast and Easy to Purchase a Dakini Domain, and most transactions and transfers are completed within a few days of confirmed payment. The fastest way to get your domain is to pay Sedo by credit card and accept it in it's current registrar (usually Enom.com or GoDaddy.com). If you want to receive the domain in another registrar it may take a little longer (and, of course, once the domain is yours, you are free to change to any registrar you choose).

Many people make offers by contacting another agent, GoDaddy.com, Afternic.com, Network Solutions.com, etc. This is fine and we will respond. We have been in this business for over ten years and have practiced two professions for over 30 years. Knowing the market (which changes often, usually in an 'up' direction) and being constrained for time we can respond only to serious offers. Prices range from a low of $450 to $10,000 and more. The average domain sale price is in the area of $950-2000.
Since we do not have employees or a sales force, and since we set fixed prices, it is much faster and easier to acquire a domain from Sedo. Unfortunately, we can't respond to the many low offers by email that we receive.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We set LOW FIXED PRICES ON MOST DOMAINS! We do not negotiate. If you find a domain without a price, send a note and we'll price it.

HYPHENS: Google recognizes hyphens as spaces and hyphens often make a domain more intuitive, memorable and readable (depending on the domain). Hyphenated domains can make great traffic sites if the domain contains one or more frequently-searched key words.
CAPITALIZATION: This does not matter when entering Domain Names.
EXTENSIONS: DOT COM, NET and ORG are the first extensions allowed used by the general public. Dot COM is most sought after by individuals and business, Dot NET was originally intended for use with Internet and communication companies but now is used generally for business. Dot ORG is usually used by non-profit and other organizations. People tend to remember these extensions and they carry the most prestige and best chance of good search engine result placement.
When the Domain Name System was created in the 1980s, the domain name space was divided into two main groups of domains. The country code top-level domains (ccTLD) were primarily based on the two-character territory codes of ISO-3166 country abbreviations. In addition, a group of seven generic top-level domains (gTLD) was implemented which represented a set of categories of names and multi-organizations. These were the domains GOV, EDU, COM, MIL, ORG, NET, and INT.
During the growth of the Internet, it became desirable to create additional generic top-level domains. As of October 2009, there are 21 generic top-level domains and 250 two-letter country-code top-level domains. DOT US is the United States Country Code, traditionally used by local government but now open to US citizens and those with a a US place of business.
WHY DO SOME OF OUR SALE SITES CONTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUBJECT? First, some of this information is interesting, Secondly, some related text on the page helps with search engine optimization.
ABOUT SITES THAT ANALYZE DOMAIN NAMES: Many sites make ad money by publishing statistics they have gathered about domain names. These relate to links into the domain, traffic, offers, etc. These statistics do not mean much until a site is developed, with a full, multi-page website. Why? Because search engines, Google and others, are not dumb (understatement) and know if a domain is associated with a 'real' site or a one-page "for sale" site. They want to return results that are the most useful to the searcher and often leave sale sites out of their database, or assign them a low rank.
As soon as a site is developed, the search engines start to treat it as a real site and these statistics will change according to the quality of the domain, the popularity of the site and the search engine skills of the web developer. It's unfortunate that so many are confused by this concept. Our domains have never been used as pure traffic sites or email addresses, spam, etc. They have had consisted of one page with a sale note and a few ads. We do not play the traffic game but prefer deal in quality domains, those useful to "end-users" who intend to use the domain for their business or profession. They are 'clean' in this regard and ready for the business buyer to make his or her own.
TRAFFIC: When you buy a site for a history 'traffic' you are going to get the old traffic, visitors who were looking for the previous site. This traffic does not last and the traffic that you site gets will depend on the domain, the skill of the web developer and the quality of your site, Sites that have not been used by previous businesses will probably have no traffic. Meaningful traffic is created when you put a meaningful site on and searchers want the information on your site. Unless a domain is an obvious one word "type-in", like business.com, traffic statistics are not very meaningful.
TRADEMARKS: Dakini does a cursory TM search before registering domains and most domains are generic. If you have a legitimate TM issue ( in the understanding that I do know the applicable law of domain/ intellectual property), please send a note. Where the concern is legitimate, I am very reasonable. Domain Dakini offers no advice regarding trademarks and service marks. Domain Dakini offers no legal advice and it is incumbent on the domain buyer to determine whether his/her/it's use of a domain will infringe on an existing TM.
HOW DID WE ACCUMULATE THESE DOMAINS? By taking a risk early, starting around 1997, watching dropped domain lists, entering auctions, registering domains we anticipated would be useful years later. Many hours and funds were invested.
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOMAIN SAGE, INC. and DOMAIN DAKINI, INC.? One company is owned by mother, one by a son.
BULK SALES Yes, Inquire. Will sell lots of 25 or more at a discount. Prices still depends on the domains.
WHAT IS A DAKINI? An Indic Deity seen in the religious traditions of Tibet, Nepal, India.
