From April 2017 i started my domaining journey and i must admit i did few big mistakes :

1. First one was rejecting an offer of $ 2500 on my LeLx.com domain.

2. But the biggest mistake i did was rejecting a bitcoin for 2 word .org domain before few months , that i bought from here for $ 25.

3. Try to be too greedy i lost many end users

Now i want advice from you all, what's a best thing i should do. At that time because i have less knowledge about Bit coins, i rejected Bit coin.

But i think there is something that i am lacking of which does'nt allowed me to sell those domain.

Kindly Help

Thanks

me: asking price is 399
buyer: we can make instant payment 250
me: ok 250
after 6 days no payment
me: hello, when can I expect payment?
buyer: we can only pay 100 for this domain
me: 199 is the lowest I can go
buyer: good luck with your domain
me: :punch:

ps if you insert an 'E' as the second from last letter, I wonder if that was your enquirer ?

and it's what I accidently typed into the whois in the first place.

take a look at the whois for my suggestion, seems a good guess to me

e from the second last letter. You mean to say Leee.com

insert 'e' at the stroke point LeL-x.com.

I'm just being cautious, probably should have PM'd you

We all make mistakes, it's part of being human, we just learn from them and move on. :xf.smile:

Mistakes are the stepping stones to learning. So when you commit a mistake you are basically learning a lesson. Keep it up.. :)

Everybody makes mistakes. Learn from them and move on. I turned down 2000 bitcoins once. Nobody can see the future, we just make the best decisions we can, and if it doesn't work out then so be it.

... bitcoin always comes up seems like .. kept for 3 years.. sold 2 months before the major up-curve...
typical end-user offers of 500 - 1k, counter.. they disappear..

funny scenario just yesterday (to add to the me, buyer offer scenarios... I think that should be a thread of its own :) . no domain details needed, just how it went).

Outbound..:

Me: asking for $2500
Buyer: most is $200 that I'm willing to spend
Me: (after a few day)... make it at least $500 to make it respectable (renewals....)
Buyer: How do I know it's legit
Me: Give all the info to check
Buyer: There's so many companies using these keywords that they would pay through their teeth for it, I find it peculiar that your offering at this price. Sorry.

The deal fell through hahaha... all kinds of people we deal with..

Another went from $1200 to $1900 no problems..

@Isac please feel free to send me the domain name you got offered 1 Bitcoin for.
Try to adjust your mindset, you might get offered much more in the future because you stayed patient.

Also had a domain I got offered a good price for, I declined and the waiting paid out :)

Good luck & please tell me the name.

I think it all comes down to your current situation. If you need the cash, and someone is willing to give you some, take it. If you don't, and your gut is telling you something, then go with your gut!
Also, making mistakes is one of the best things than can happen to you. How else are you going to REALLY learn...Embrace it, write it down so you don't forget, chug a bottle of cold water, and move on!

Me: We have listed it for $2400. It is taken in xx extensions blah blah.

"Buyer": I can give you $150.

Me: Oh, that's a pity, because we have decided to raise the price to $10,000.

Not very professional indeed, but sometimes you just get bored...

me: 1400 usd
buyer: 500 usd
me:1100 usd
buyer: no
me: ok 500 usd
Buyer: no more interested

--


buyer : 300 euro
me : 1400 euro
buyer: no more interested


its easy to f*ck a deal



buyer: 3000 euro
me: no we don't want to sell
buyer: maybe more ..
..
after 1 year we agreed on 125 K USD


its an art not a science


The buyer who initially offered 3k euros at first eventually purchased it for 125k???

Wow. That's impressive. What were other figures offered over that year-long period? Was 125k the figure you valued it at and you were just waiting for the buyer to reach that figure or did you just sense you could get a lot more out of the buyer?.

A late congratulations! Very impressive negotiation.

I guess this sale guarantees that your domaining will stay profitable for a long time?!

I'm the original guy with a great future behind him. :)

If you aren't making mistakes, then you aren't trying hard enough. The failure is not in making mistakes, but in not learning from them.

And sometimes it is just bad luck. You were not at the right place at the right time. Losers give up, winners continues to work hard.
