I have read many many posts here, thank you all for so much information! Can anyone tell me if this is really one of the better domain name reseller options out there? If not can you direct me to somewhere similar?

Seems wildwest charges me 6.75 plus a transaction fee (when the customer pays for the account). If I charged 8.75 for a .com, the fee would be 6.75 + .50 (25% sharing fee) + .47 (credit card transaction fee of 2.5% +.25) = $7.72. That means I make $1.03 on that purchase.

Now, I am not saying that I want to be able to sell domains at 8.75 but i would like the option.

Thanks for all your imput and help.

oh, and I am really trying to find something that does not require $1000 buck down. I would really like to put little or no money down to start ($250 or less).

Thanks again

Don't forget that $99! So if you are selling e.g. 100 domains per year, you'll have to add 99 cents to your cost per name.

I did forget that $99!

So my profit for the first 100 customers in a year is actually $0.04. That is if I am able to sell 100 domains. (I would hope I can sell more than that but since I am just trying to get into this business that might prove harder than I am thinking).

I think enom would probably be a better deal if you are looking to startup

Bryan, re: profit of $0.04...

As with many things, I'm not sure I'd try to compete against actual registrars or resellers who sell tens of thousands of domains per month. I know it seems implausible, but registrars like OpenSRS sell domains to resellers for $10 each.

... and superceded Register.com to become the second largest registrar just months ago. :D

I think domain4life it better b/c you dont need to paid nothing to join & the control panel it easy to use also.

I have a modernbill account so I get domains for $7.95, I think their normal pricing is like $8.95 with out that deal through MB.
