I have developed my own that I have used on Ebay and few other places. Have to agree for the most part sell honest hype. Basically emphasis the potential. If it is a top keyword in a major industry like 'pecan' attached to a less relevant keyword then show examples of that keyword selling for a XXXX amount. I used this once on a domain that I sold for peanuts. The gentlemen was shocked! And snatched it up. He is sitting on it now and negotiating with major industry players in that 'nut' industry. I will say do not go to cheap. But be reasonable and you will succeed. I did sort of a fire sale just to test. I recommend steady moderate pricing. Clarity and hype with real backup benefit statements will help you out greatly. Domain on! Customized sales templates. I have developed my own that I have used on Ebay and few other places.

I agree with Jake that letting them know you're contacting their competitors could raise some concern, but I haven't really noticed a difference in conversions using that tactic. Most of these business don't even get why they need the domain... Lots of education needed out there, folks. **Jamie Says** I agree Stephen. A time limit is a Great Idea to add. I also agree about the educating but it needs to be done with Short and to the point Facts. Think of it this way, end users "search on google" for something they already know! Why people search UrlHere.com in google, is just Proof of this! Don’t forget a time limit too.

I have 2 watchers but no bidders. I believe this is a steal but maybe the reserve is 2 high.

It works well when a seller creates a NEED to buy a product (domain name or otherwise). Great post Jamie.

Nothing beats a personalized sales pitch, with a few claims to back up your price. In my experience: Stating that you are pitching to their competitors, Showing comparable sales, & Stating that it might be the only chance they can get their hands on this name Those seem to close more sales :) Also, I like the new logo! :D Great advice.
