The great thing about being your own boss is you have the freedom to tell someone to f*** off.

It's the type of freedom I rarely use, but it's always an option when it comes to jerks.

In general though, it's not worth spending time and energy on leads that have hardly any chance to pan out.

Well said, sully. Emotional control isn’t just sales etiquette, it’s a long-term asset in domain negotiations.

I had a corporate buyer lose his mind on me last year—yelling, name-calling, the works—because I wouldn’t take $15K for a $200K domain. Three months later? He came back with a real offer and we closed. His meltdown wasn’t about me; it was about covering his ass.

If I had a $200K domain name and someone did this, I would NEVER sell them the domain name.

I would take it off every marketplace and use a lander that gives me the FULL identity of any potential buyer like NamePros Landers seem to do.

If an adult cannot conduct themselves with decorum while dealing with a person they've never met before, I don't want to deal with them.

Yelling and name-calling because you didn't get what you want is what kids do. Not adults.

I hope you never get ones that tell you AI told them your name is worth 400 and they are ready to offer 500. No reply is the best reply.

I wouldn't even waste any energy on it. Too much more important things to be doing.

Nice another one @Sully , you made my day, Thank you [ and it's barley started though ].

I gift you an answer for this trumps, that comes with lower balls offer:

Simply say something like
' I saw a guy, time ago, entering in a Ferrari show room with $5 in his pocket shouting This car isn't worth that much...'

Truth is that domains brokering is a weird market where the buyers, often, try to set the price accordingly to its pocket and its willings, meanwhile, all around the others markets, price are sets by the sellers.

Just keep calm and snack popcorn meanwhile, till the steam is gone.

I don't get it, what's the problem? I wouldn't mind at all being yelled at by someone desperately trying to buy my domain, which I've estimated at $200000. Not only that it wouldn't bother me at all, but the opposite - I'd be thrilled and excited. Matter of fact, I'd be happy. Wish that happens soon.

How do you know it's a dick? it could be a vagina.

likemike · Oct 25, 2025

Blow them off Sully. I try to be like a duck in water and just blow them off. Not worth your time to let them bother you. It's on to the next one. Don't provide info until they answer questions. It's basic prequalifying. But you already know this. Enjoy your day!

Yep, these are "my miss universe girlfriend is on her period today" type of problems.

Normal domainers just list domains in the marketplace with a bin price. No need to waste time on low ballers.

But I would like to know how valuable does a domain have to be to be worth listing it with a price request instead of a bin?

Daniel Owens · Oct 25, 2025

Depends where it's listed as to if I'd consider them a low-baller as some marketplaces like flippa or something like that people expect low prices. If it's on a bigger marketplace than that and it's a $500 offer on a dictionary word .com not sure I'd even bother and reply. You can always list on a marketplace with a minimum offer or user namepros landers to help keep track of buyer.

Yeah, it's that kind of problem - should I go to work today in my new Mercedes or my new BMW? But sure, we can discuss all we want - not against that.

As for your question - well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There's no universal rule for this. It's probably the oldest question on this forum: “How much is my domain worth?” (cause it makes sense to say ''Make an offer'' on domains you see selling the xx xxx - xxx xxx range, BIN for the rest). Some people will do ''Make offer'' simply because they don't know what to put and prefer react rather than offer by setting BIN (but that's tricky, I wouldn't do it).

I personally have BIN everywhere. I prefer keep it clear from the start, no matter the price.

Yeah, that is one tactic for sure. Price wholesale on lower level domains and price high on others.

pricing is difficult because 2 domains are not the same, and same domain has different value for different buyers. Without a BIN you might end with bigger price, but also without a sale, so it depends on how much you are willing to wait.

Well, what matters is how much value it has to you as the seller. You need to understand the value of your names (that comes with time and experience, I agree). You won’t end up with a ''bigger price'' by using ''Make Offer'', don’t hold your breath )))

What often happens is that more people become reluctant to inquire (unless it's the name of their dreams) - they intuitively assume the price is tens or hundreds of times higher than what they'd offer.

But again, that's just my opinion and my way of pricing domains. Others may think completely different, and that’s perfectly fine ))

There is no right or wrong here, there are different strategies. In the end the trick is to bring the domain in front of the potential buyer that is willing to pay the price you are willing to accept.

It would be really cool, and I would stay cool, if Dicks Sporting Goods wanted my domain name.
