Why it matters
Wholesale deals are fast and need little marketing. A seller who needs cash or wants to clear unwanted names may accept one. The buyer takes the sales risk and expects a margin, so prices sit well below what an end user might pay. A common mistake is accepting a wholesale offer for a name that has real end-user demand. Check who could use the name before you sell cheap. Selling a few names this way can also help fund renewals for better ones.
