New Domain Broker, PCIsland.com launched, expected to make a huge dent in the marketplace.
Stephen Sprague, President of PCIsland.com, has announced the Beta release of their new Domain Brokerage site. "We are very excited about this (pcisland.com), we have put our heart and souls into making an easy to use, user-friendly environment," said Sprague.
PCIsland.com will list, sell and appraise domain names, offer various levels of showcase options and pricing, and be among the lowest in commissions in the world. When asked why PCIsland.com will be different from the thousands of other sites, Sprague replied, "First and foremost, PCIsland.com is going to be about servicing the client in a professional manner. It seems that large domain related sites are treating there members poorly; not returning e-mail queries, burying client's names and manufacturing sales. Shill bidding-(bidding on one's own item), is rampant on these sites. PCIsland.com will have several controls in place to combat this very situation. We're a bit different from some other brokerage sites that offer to list for free. We want domain professionals only. PCIsland.com is going to be a very professional site, we are looking for very dedicated members in the domain field. PCIsland.com charges a one-time $14.95 membership fee that is returned to the client during escrow. You can read more about the reasons on the site. Also, we have a commissions cap of 5-1/2 percent. If you sell your name on our site for ten million-we only take 5-1/2 percent. In fact, that's the highest commission we have, we have many several different commission levels, depending on the amount of the sale. This is going to hurt the big boys. Industry standard is 10 percent... We are shattering that! We are also offering some of the most economical showcase placements in the industry, another thing that is sure to get them buzzing," he said with a smile.
PCIsland.com has already lured a few large names, one of them- InternetMusic.com. Sprague said they are currently working on several other high-profile names. "We want everyone in the domain community to know that we are not just looking for high-profile listings. PCIsland.com wants to offer a cross section of names, something for every budget. We are not going to bury their-(domain sellers), names. We have tons of categories to assure our clients that won't happen. Each person and name is unique, and is an honor to place on our site." said Sprague.
PCIsland.com is a privately held company. All correspondence should be directed to steve@pcisland.com.
