Hello namePros members

I've some domain names parked at uniregistry using for sale landing page, and recently one of them Got 12 Inquiries in 4 days, from 3 Chines companies, I searched all of them and found that one of them is so big, I asked them to make an offer but they asked for the price I thought they might need to know the price range first so they don't make a higher offer, so I sent a price quote to all three companies and I didn't hear back from any of them for almost 12 days, I followed up asking if they're still interested in the domain name and still no response for 3 days now, so I need your advice guys,
should I use uniregitry brokers as they can speak chines??

Notes: - the domain got an inquiry on afternic also.
- My asking price is lower than other domain extension with the same keyword.

What should I do guys??

I had a similar case where I got 7 inquiries on one domain. I raised the price by $500 with each inquiry. I figured it was the same person. I finally got an email entitled WTF. I responded back and said I could say the same and the price has just increased by another $500.

I did end up selling it but I originally said 5k and ended up selling it for quite a bit more.

I am currently negotiating with a company from Switzerland as well and it their fourth inquiry, I just quoted 4k more. They will either walk or buy before it costs them more.
i really like your ways to beat those pushover LOL

btw @Memomax if you already know the companies you should research and find their competitor, try to offer your domain to your competitor as well. If you want to heat up the competition, you could place your domain name on single page website lander showing : Coming Soon, Be Patient For The Next BIG Thing!!!

LOL

Good Idea I would try it for sure but i'm afraid that Iwouldn't be able to ask for the price I want as i'm the one who is chasing them.
Hahaha the Coming Soon Idea is brilliant but shouldn't I unlist the name from all marketplaces?

if your domain name were not trademarked, if your domain name is common word you might add some competitor product as background on your coming soon page

I have received 630 Inquiries through Uniregistry, with only one success sale.

If you responded to them already, there is really nothing more you can do.

I would just continue to follow up with them periodically to see if they are still interested in the domain name. Inbound inquires are the best =)

I don't follow up that often,I usually contact them once per month until they tell me to get lost or we strike up a conversation...lol.

And thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated.

Do nothing and stick to your price, if you have a serious buyer he will come back.

last year I had an offer through undeveloped, we countered back and forth and agreed on $2800. They failed to pay in time and the sale was cancelled by UD. A week later I got a lower offer from them than the price we agreed on, I simply rejected it and did not message them. Then 2 days later I got an offer from the for the same price originally negotiated, I was getting pretty piss$d off at this point as I don't have time to dick around. I raised the price to $3500 in a counter offer which they rejected and countered the same $2800 price again. I rejected their offer and wrote a message saying the price was $2800 originally but since then the price has increased. So I countered them at $3800 and they accepted, paid immediately and domain was transferred to them within a few hours. Made myself an extra $1,000 simply by showing I wasn't messing around.

Serious buyers don't play these games, so players get played, I get BS inquires, instead of raising the price, I just tell them the name is not for sale, To Them

No Ego here

Obviously you're not a magician, are you? So, how do you know which inquiry is BS and which is not?

FYI. Sometimes, the most serious buyer may present an inquiry so lame that you may want to kick ass

the Inquiries came from mid/big Companies with phone numbers but I don't speak chines so I thought a broker would be a better choice, but also as they didn't replay or made any offer, they might do the same to the broker I guess, and also I'll not be able to contact any upcoming leads to the domain as it's handled by a broker.
the best thing to do for now I guess is waiting for a response.
post with a higher buy it now price then originally, that should get their attention.

Stop chasing. Hold and wait. They will come back

You and I have very similar styles, I figure time is money and my $500 increase when I get dicked around has had a surprising success rate.

Sometimes buyers act erratic, I remember years ago, I had a Chinese buyer, they send an email, I tell them price they reply

Thank you for reply.I really also want to according to your price to buy this domain,
But we're just a family workshop in the company, if buy it according to your this price, I think I'll have to go bankrupt ,he he,so I can give is the price of this side up to $800.

Thank You


Ok I will accept that, and then I get,

I am sorry.We found the domain lydoo.com.cn only need about $240 , so we could choose this domain name.Beacuse in China .com and .com.cn for us don't have too big difference, but your price difference is very big, if your price can near lydoo.com.cn this domain , we are sure will still choose you.

So I replied you said $800 I agreed, it's that or move on. Nothing for two months and then they agree but they don't understand Escrow.com, I walk them through and then eventually the transaction gets voided as they never paid and three weeks later GoDaddy sends me

Your Domain Has Sold

But then a new nonsense starts, the name was at Name.com, I get their code and push, Go Daddy called me saying that the buyer from China, is saying he does not have access to the account and is threatening a chargeback. Go Daddy said that I could push the domain to a house account they have with Name.com.

Finally pushed but it took forever. One of the most difficult deals for not a lot of money.
