Do anyone else get the feeling that the days of profitably being a domain registrar's reseller are quickly fading? The "Auth Code? What?" thread with the simple plea of
"I really cannot justify working for free, which is what this equates to. To spend my time helping someone pay someone else money?" rings particularly true. Margins at this point are so miniscule that any manual intervention in a registrar transfer of a domain name - in or out - makes all profit disappear. And the same time this process becomes increasingly more difficult and time consuming. There a now several _hundred_ accredited domain registrars selling directly to domain purchasers, some with and some without resellers/affiliates. Many of the most popular registrars sell domains below Tucows wholesale price to their resellers. I can't help but wonder if the whole idea of profitably reselling domain names has become a thing of the past with the new registrar landscape.
