Holy cow.

I've received an offer for a developed website + a few related domains.

Are there any open source or public domain boiler plate contracts out there for a sale of this type?

The dollar value of this deal makes me want to cross all of my t's.

I already have a tendered offer on the table. Does flippa.com provide contracts outside of their ecosystem?

Also...not too keen on paying commission to a third party for a deal that has already been negotiated.

Hire a lawyer. If the dollar value is that good that it makes you want to do it right. Then its probably worth the cost to do it right and get good advice.

Any lawyer worth his IP-transfer-contracting-salt is outpricing my budget on this sale.

In that case, maybe try one of the online startup docs repositories. Maybe you can find something in one them that would work.

Not too sure about this, but moniker.com might be worth a quick look - they just might have something you could use.
