How would you respond? Will the end user come back offering a lower price, or will the deal be closed? Have a look at the discussion to find out more.

Read This Before You Contemplate Quitting!
It's been well documented in the past by many investors that domaining isn't an easy profession to excel in. There are plenty of ex-investors who took the decision to quit the industry, but should you? If you are considering leaving domain investing behind, this may inspire you to reconsider.
Domainer @Arpit131 has shared his story of starting out as an unsuccessful investor before a combination of resilience, consistency and a willingness to learn allowed him to develop a portfolio of domains that produce regular sales.
