(1) the possibility that you could just lose the domain after paying in possibly several thousand. You might get all your money back, but none of that money would have collected any interest.

if they wanted interest, they would put their money elsewhere.

If I am buying a domain, the OPTIMAL type of arrangement I would like is for the seller, assuming he is not doing anything with the domain presently, to make it active on the buyers server and let the buyer 'rent' it, if you will. He still owns the domain so there is little risk to him. He can switch servers whenever he wants.

different clients have different needs. judge accordingly.

A lot of potential buyers don't have the kind of $$ it would take to buy the domain outright. Renting a domain would benefit the renter since it would be a good source of traffic that he can profit from. It would also benefit the seller since he would be collecting a monthly fee and the domain would be developed by the renter, thereby making it even more valuable in the long run.

One of my ventures launching next year is DomainLicensing.com, so I firmly believe in the concept. I prefer to JointVenture, CoBrand/Private Label, License over selling, unless selling is the only option a buyer is looking for. all comes down to negotiating for a win-win deal. never get too greedy that the buyer will avoid doing future business with you.
