Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,

It’s been great year so far in terms of $$$ of sales but the number of sales are very poor but I would say overall it’s fantastic.

So here is another sale which I wanted to share. Many readers asked me the purchase price or at least the price range I should share so I have decided to disclose the price range. Normally I don’t share because buyer might feel I overpaid considering the ROI made by the seller.

Anyhow, the domain in question is Enkla.com which I sold for $12,500. Bought in 3 figs range. Buyer came directly through WHOIS and offered 2K when I asked to present an offer. When I said offers only in 5 figs will be entertained, they came up with 3K and 3.6K. With no positive response from my end, they revised their offer and presented 10K. My next move was to shift from giving the price range to quoting the exact asking price which was 15K. Finally the deal was finalized at 12.5K which was the middle of both our quote and offered prices.

Congrats AbdulBasit! Turning 3 figure acquisition to 5 figure sale is not easy. But, you seems to have the knack to close such deals successfully. Was this the first inquiry?

Wow, firstly that is a very clever domain name and you were handsomely rewarded for thinking outside the box and sticking to your guns when negotiating a deal and you have highlighted the fact that not all useful one word domains are english words!

Walaikum Assalam - Its great. Congratulations.
I am just wondering if you can show the conversation between you and the client so that would be a lesson for those who want to learn how to deal with a low offer to convert in successful sale.

Congrats on the sale! You do have good negotiation skills, based on your story.

The more you do, the better you do...:$::-D

Very nice! I scribbled down some notes so next time I get an initial offer I won't immediately say yes. Unless I'm broke and need the money. :-D
