What should be outbound/inbound asking price ratio?

inbound means a motivated buyer, but not necessarily the highest paying buyer.

outbound: many potential buyers, but maybe none of them motivated yet, and the highest paying
potential buyer may not be in the list, or not motivated yet.

I have received 4 figure initial offers recently and in other cases some of my counteroffers in 4 figures were accepted immediately but outbound ones never receive any response. It may even be the case real buyers who made real offers lose interest after receiving an outbound email.

So if domain is worth 1K, and it can really sell for 1K, can I easily sell it for 100 after outbounding? I feel, whatever price I put on the domain, the buyer will think it is expensive. If I don't put a price, they will think I will try to get as much as possible. So, maybe instead of giving a price, showing them some data might work better, but so far it doesn't work either.

I feel most buyers, first decide to buy a domain, and the registrar they use show them some alternatives, and they see how expensive some domains are, and when they see a cheap one they like, they buy it.

Or a big company which sees that another big company uses .info (as redirect), and then they decide they should also get their .info.

........

If Sedo makes .biz (or another tld you invested in ) the tld of the month, would you be willing to pay 30 or 40 percent commission?

If domains are 3rd rate then none. There is no walk in ratio for domains. A lot of domains sold are a fluke so wording including negotiation may contribute to a sale. I generally only target exact search as they are either certainties or something that certainly interests them.

Some of my outbounds may be working in the following way: I make very convincing arguments, and they don't respond but they think about it, and months later they make an offer at Sedo, but they hardly go above low 3 figures. Maybe I would sell if they responded to my emails the same day, but Sedo offers look like inbound, and I can't accept them, because if I accept each low 3 fig inbound offer I make negative profit.
My domains are 2nd rate. Some are upper 2nd rate, some are lower 2nd rate, and some are upper 3rd rate. No 4th raters.
