Buying and selling

# Wholesale sale

A wholesale sale is a domain sale to another investor or reseller instead of to the business that will use the name. Prices are lower because the buyer plans to resell at a profit.

## 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.
