Gotta wonder how the negotiations went. I'm always impressed by sellers who can maximize what they can get out of a domain like this. If I had owned DuDu.com I probably would have asked no more than $50k, yet someone was able to get a million dollar payday out of it. Wow!

It makes you wonder if the first offer came in really high. Say if someone were to offer you $500K, would you have the nerve to counter?

Even $50k is a lot higher compared to the existing rates. Isnt it?

I agree, $50k would be fair enough for this domain.

So what is KaKa.com worth? Sh*tloads of money no doubt.

Well if you sell a domain at a not-actually-paid price you still have to pay Sedo a commission so moneylaundering has its price.

But f Sedo sell a domain they do not have to pay themselves a commission. So why not agree with the buyer of a domain that you will cut your $100k asking price down to $50k on agreement that they play along when you later announce they bought it for $1m? Or you could agree to take domains in payment with a nominal value of, say, $950k.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/industry-news/742427-sedo-brokers-dudu-com-1-million.html

It's a win-win, gets Sedo publicity and pushes up domain price expectations, the buyer looks serious and successful - they hope - and if the buyer later wants to re-sell the domain, the value of their asset is much greater.

Does this hurt anyone?
