Here's a really good idea:
Buyers could hire someone on DAN to handle negotiations on their behalf.
For example 50$ fee + 10% commission.
GoDaddy domain buy service.
''Domain Broker Service, your domain broker will negotiate with the current owner to get the name for you.
We protect your privacy. You’ll stay anonymous throughout the process. The domain owner won’t know your identity.
Our name gets attention. Domain owners are more likely to engage with a request from GoDaddy CA than from individual buyers.''
Uniregistry
''We’ve helped thousands of buyers securely purchase domain names for over a decade, and we’re confident that we can do the same for you.''
Sedo.
''Just let us know which domain you are interested in and entrust our brokers with the negotiations. We will assign you a personal domain broker who will initiate negotiations with the owner on your behalf. You as the customer remain discreetly in the background. Guaranteed!''
GoDaddy does it, Uniregistry does it, Sedo does it, domain brokerage firms do the same. they all have experience, they know they need to convey trust as some buyers feel more comfortable dealing with a broker. Epik is setting it up.
Why not add that casual feature on @DAN.COM
Having buyers hire brokers is easy to implement and it ultimately helps close more deals.
Buyers can hire someone with reviews, based on their # of sales / active negotiations (already listed on DAN's homepage).
Only top DAN sellers, pure discrimination. The goal is to help sellers close more deals through serious buyers that pay to get help with negotiations, not about random sellers looking to earn random commissions. DAN keeps the 50$ fee (revenue). Broker only negotiates for 10% commission, top sellers that opt-in. Those busy being prosperous with 1000 active negotiations don't have to opt in.
Seller knows he's dealing with a broker, serious buyer.
Broker doesn't know seller's identity and vice-versa, no collusion incentives.
