For those saying proof should be given ... I think that proof should certainly be given before
you believe them. But showing proof could be a personal data privacy issue if showing info about the buyer
(remember we can't edit or remove anything beyond 30 minutes at NamePros). More importantly, as much as I would love for everything to be true, transparent and proven here at NamePros .. it's important to remember that almost nothing is guaranteed to be true in a forum like this .. so not only should "offers" be taken with a grain of salt .. everything should be. Particularly from those who have not built up a "community trust" and more importantly your own personal trust.
More importantly ... it's hard to say we shouldn't alloy people to discuss offers without proof when the majority of sales discussed also don't have proof. In my mind claiming a fake sale is much more damaging than claiming a fake offer (although both are obviously bad and shouldn't be allowed IF proven otherwise)
I really don't care if people post their pending offers .. but I take it like automated appraisals .. interesting on the macro level .. but don't really take much from individual specific single offers. Particularly if they deviate from standard .. at least until the sale is closed and more proof is given.
Again though .. the reason I'm open to offers being allowed to be discussed is for the information and content beyond the actual number. Meaning how you got the buyer's contact, what was the email wording you used, what negotiation tactics were used, etc etc ... that sort of information is usually significantly more valuable to domainers than just the numbers ...
.. but I am talking offer type only). Thoughts?
You mean like this here ..
