I thought it would be interesting to see offers that nP users turn downed in their domaining journey.

Let's share the amount of offer, and the domain name.

Let us know if you regret your decision?

For example:

This year I received a $2500 offer for Beverage.Catering by an enduser from U.K, but I've turned it down and I don't regret it. :happy:

$500,000 turned down as my asking price was $505,000 to cover escrow fees. Now selling that domain for $5000 on Namepros, highest offer so far $90.

What if you never sell it? Just because you received an offer doesn't mean another one will come again. I offered to buy a domain name from a guy 15 years ago and he turned down my offer which was more than fair. Guess what? He's still trying to sell that domain and even sent me an email the other day asking if I'm still interested which I'm not. Never think you're the only game in town.

It's true for the fair offers.

Well I can say from experience that only those afraid to take risks ask "what if".

"What if" isn't real, it's in your head.

"What if" a buyer comes along and pays twice my expected asking price. "What if" is similar to "whataboutism", in that any conjecture will fit to make vague points. But asking "What if" is worse because it's usually a fearful deterrent that holds people back.

Also, I received two offers, not one. :pompous:

You play the odds, you make educated buying decisions, plan, and take the risks you can afford to; it either pays off or it does not.

Never think you're the only game in town

The Eagles aren't the only team in the NFL, but they are the best.

Be the best, not the only.

Chainpreneur.com is a very good name. I'm surprised it was available for registration until recently. Absolutely worth holding on for a while, in my opinion.

i turned down $15k offer for coin related domain in .io tld.

and many offers in the range of $2k to $5k for multiple .com domains.
Getting a $15k offer on .io is a Good one
One or two word .io?

Most of my bigger ones I've turned down were in the $500-800 range. I probably have a much different strategy than most though and take most offers I get if they're reasonable without much of a fight haha.

Sometimes, you find some names available for handreg and you wonder why. I don't support the school of thought saying all "no good names is available for handreg". It's a fat lie

should have sold it

Nope, that would be a big mistake, since I have that name in .com too :)
I will wait for a better offer for few years if a better offer comes - great :) if not I will maybe regret that offer which I turned down :) but for now no regrets :)

Now, what I regret - I turned down $500 for vr network in .biz and that was a bad decision :)
I think that name is now free to reg. didn't check lately

I turned down $35,000USD for a domain that I sold latter @ $50,000USD and my asking price was 100k....I sold to cheap bc I didn't know how to properly negociate a deal, my fault!
I never ever drop my price ever since that happened. I would rather lose the sale on my own terms.
The domain is under NDA, however it was in the "AI" tech field and two word name....

I have just turned down $235 offer on
readeen /king
But am still doubting if it is a good decision.
In the coming months will definitely know if I was wrong

Depends on hold time. If short then it might be a good idea. But if you have been sitting on this name for a long time, well.....
