Here are some DON'T that one should not do. Target potential buyers on the basis of their perceived economic status, without any discernment about the industry you're targeting. For instance, some lawyers seem to do well in their field. You may perceive to begin selling domain names to them. So you buy a cluster of domain names that you perceived would appeal to the law firms that you have recognized as prospective buyers.

Now, obviously, you will not strike that domain names to those target buyers who can't use them.

Assume that you're aware of the real estate market in Tempe, Toronto, and suddenly you got an opportunity to buy the apartments of the temple for $200. Tempe has a lot of leasing property and there's abundant income in the apartment space, the reason being the city is home to a major university. This might prove to be a good deal. Then ask yourself for certain answers:
  • How much does one month of rent of the temple profit a landlord, property manager or another prospective domain buyer? How about a year's worth of rental profit?
  • Would you buy this name if you were in the space? If so, why?
  • What kind of domains are landlords, property managers, etc., using?
  • How much do they spend on advertising?
  • How much would this domain sound convince in their space?
Likewise, if you are able to answer these questions with confidence, you will probably get an idea about a prospective buyer. You will get an idea about whom to contact and how to make a convincing case such that this domain helps in growth of the buyer's business.
