That's not really fair to Tom, (since it might affect his ability to negotiate in the future), but let's just say that I would happily recommend him to anybody, his rates are reasonable and he works really hard (which in the world of brokers is a welcome change). We got close to selling 3 times, and in the end I got a deal that I'm pretty happy with. Let's just say that since I bought ww.com with the proceeds of gameplay.com, which in turn I bought for $12 I would be highly surprised if I ever say that kind of ROI again in my life.

I own one of these things as well.

For the benefit of others on HN although I've never received a quote from a broker to market a 2l which I own I have on other domains. Generally anywhere from 7 to 15%. I've also had brokers take a haircut to close a deal.

On the buy side godaddy had recently sold one of my names (I almost blew them off but found they were clueless enough that it really worked to my advantage) and I'm seeing they get 10% when they represent sellers.

It says on your own website that WW.com it was sold for 3000000. I'm confused.

That was his asking price.
