That actually is a good price considering the current market conditions.
I don't let any good .mobi's go to auction right now because it's too much of a buyer's market, and I don't want to risk losing a great domain for peanuts.
Buyer got a great domain for the price here, I think.
Basically, I don't like too much to negotiate and then send to auction. I don't think it's very nice for the buyer (but in certain limits I could do in the future). Last week, I received pretty much at the same time a lowball offer for one name, an offer for another name and this offer for gascard. The person was not answering to the close counteroffer regarding this other name (now sold) and I thought it could be the same person. Not receiving any offer and then three in a day, I thought it could be the same person and maybe not really serious (edit: I mean trying to get bargains)...But the other one was certainly an end-user (not transferred yet by Sedo) and it was maybe simply a coincidence...
I want to sell right now some names (need cash to buy some art). Mainly, names that I won't develop like this one...Thus, I did NOT counter and send immediately to auction. I knew it was quite a bad time, but i thought I could maybe get two endusers going for that name. I sent immediately quite a few emails in order to do that...But, it did not work...
And when you sell with sedo and don't live in the UK or in the US, there is not the 10% rule...Thus, basically I got 50$...
I tried, I loose...No big deal...Not really the price that bothers me (more than 250 views, I guess it was the market price even if to me this is low for this name), it's to have maybe screw up an opportunity to have a nice sale...Now, let's see the whois after the transfer to know how much I screwed up...
I personally appreciate that comment. Dbl. Rep added for that comment. Better luck next time.
maybe its not an enduser, how many think endusers (their IT/PR/AD affiliates) are monitoring the auction boards vs. domainers sharking to then market to them?
