SOLD.ca Vehicles.ca (1.Viewing)

Anyone understand the sale of vehicles.ca that just got reported on namebio (May 19) ? It says it sold for $455 USD via flippa. I am pretty sure I’ve seen that domain recorded sold before for $9,000.

Quick Question - Has anyone here sold a domain for cash? I've got a potential buyer from BC who offered to send cash in the mail.

I am considering it because the value doesn't exceed $2000 and I have a PO Box. I've made it very clear that nothing will be transferred until the money is checked for authenticity and deposited safely.

Money order would make sense, assuming they live somewhere with easy access to any bank, it would be protecting them more than anything though.

I suppose it depends on how much you trust this person too, have they been forthcoming with their identity/location/etc? Or are they obviously staying incognito?

It doesn't sound as of there's any risk to you, mostly to the buyer. But if they're clearing hiding, is that who you want to do business with? And if so, why? Maybe your domain is worth much more? Maybe they know something you don't?

I was wondering the same as you and found this article from DN Journal a few days ago. It once sold for 9K at TRAFFIC in Vancouver on June 9th, 2010 (see the very last screenshot). The domain doesn't appear to have ever dropped either, so i'm not sure how it sold for so cheap on Flippa... but maybe it was an auction gone-wrong type of scenario?

I included a few extra screenshots from the article, since I found them interesting, and you can read the entire thing at this link: https://www.dnjournal.com/events/2010/traffic-vancouver-review-page2.htm
