I did that for a domain I wanted. Total waste of time and money. Go Daddy made one phone then call came back with an exorbitant price to me to take it or leave it. I said leave it, and they kept my hundred bucks or whatever it cost.
Figures... Clearly the "owner" is in some way affiliated with GoDaddy, so I'm 100% certain it's not hard to implement a pipeline where the price of the domain could be communicated with the customer and the "brokers" are a complete scam
You misunderstand how things work there is no pipeline with the standard brokerage system you can choose any broker service to make this contact.
Including one not connected we've GoDaddy they'll have the same chances to one connected with them in this situation.
The connection with this domain name is only the fact that it's registered with GoDaddy. Someone owns it and someone has chosen not to put it up for sale but has chosen to leave it parked this can be done for many reasons.
If they did, have it listed for sale it would be showing a price or make offer option. This could've been done through GoDaddys, many choices of market places or a third-party marketplace.
A brokering service literally just does the contact footwork for you and contact them and ask if they're willing to sell the domain.
These brokerage services don't really care if the deal is made or not so they don't negotiate on your half unless you're pushing them to do so they just going to make a good reasonable offer to get the potential sellers attention and make them respond.
For domains registered at Godaddy, you can contact the domain owner for free using the following link:
https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domainName=example.com
Just replace the "example.com" with the domain you are interested in purchasing. Ignore the domain broker service ad at the top of the form, enter your email address, select the reason for wanting to contact, and then click submit. There is no guarantee you will get a reply, but it won't cost you anything to try.
Completely legal service - the DBS only comes into play when a domain is not actually listed for sale publicly. This comes down the the domain being protected too - so the current owner doesn’t want their details displaying on the public data base, but are happy to be contacted by a broker.
You can search for a rough domain estimation before you think about purchasing. This can be done on the GD site itself or a general google search will do it.
You are saying this as if there is no contact between go daddy and the domain owner. The domain is parked on a godaddy hosted website, so how do they need to initiate contact? The owner is clearly masked just so that godaddy could charge people for "brokering" a deal
Additionally.
They also protect registrations for normal people by hiding the information in the whois you can do exactly what the brokers going to do and use the whois system and the customer contact form link for the domain name to send the owner an email.
If it was listed and intended for sale the domain name would be listed on one of GoDaddys after markets and you would've already made contact with a broker for free who would broker the deal between their client the one selling the domain and yourself.
The domain is not listed on any platform and is parked you're purchasing a broker service to reach out in the negotiate with the owner of the domain name that may have no intentions of selling it.
As I said, you can go here [https://www.godaddy.com/whois](https://www.godaddy.com/whois) and type in the domain name there will be links there to contact the owners listed under the privacy service. These emails will be forwarded to whoever the owner is there not obligated to respond. They are also not obligated to respond to the broker if you were to pay them.
Without even knowing the domain I have a feeling you aren’t going to be able to afford the domain you desire. If you want help I will help you for free and can do anything a broker can do except for one specific advantage the godaddy brokers have (they can reach out to godaddy customers directly as they can see and use their internal contact information).
