Help! maxxaffiliate.com - My first sale; is it enough?


I was offered $100 for maxxaffiliate.com (listed/parked at SEDO). I haven't sold a domain before and I'm curious if I should counter offer or just take it? I don't have a developed site for this one so I guess it's probably a fair offer, but I'd be grateful for some advice.

Thanks! -scott

What is the domain name's monthly income?

Thank you for the reply...I've had it parked at SEDO for about 6 months and PCC revenue is negligible with 10-15 clicks per month.

I would say that's a reasonable price for a domain like that with no real revenue and traffic and without any development! You could try and negotiate a slightly higher price but be careful not to lose the sale.

Although you may want to take into account that sedo will charge a minimum commision of $50!

Since you parked with sedo you lose 10% sale only.

I recommend the same.Dont lose the sale.

"No Minimum Commission on Parked Domains With Almost All TLDs!

If your domain is parked with Sedo, you pay only a flat 10% of the sales price-- no more $ 50 minimum commission!"

Thank you for the advice. I'm going to take a slight risk and counter offer slightly higher. I googled maxx affiliate and there are actually quite a few businesses out there using this or a slight variation for their company/business name.

Thanks again for the help and I'll let you know what happens.

Well I took a chance and countered his original offer of $100 with $350. We then traded counter offers until I made a final offer of $225 and he accepted. Now I have to figure out how to transfer a domain and since I've regd this domain I've learned that I chose a potentially troublesome registrar (1&1). I hope the transfer process is relatively painless.

Thanks again for the great advice and best to both of you. -scott
