l’m a relative newcomer to domaining and still learning the ropes—l hope.
After four months, l sold my first domain name, to a Belgian, who saw on Whois how to contact me.
From the beginning, l have submitted names to the Request Domains thread with no luck until this week—and then, believe it or not, l received three replies in three days, one a day, about my domain names.
The replies are more or less the same: “How much?” I like the idea of a potential buyer showing interest, but l hate the idea of making the first move, i.e., quoting a price. I would like to quote four figures, but l know l’d very probably be pricing myself out of a sale.
Is there a response any of you use that doesn’t quote a price but rather throw the ball back into his/her court—like, “What do you think is a fair price?” Or, “Negotiable—what is your budget?”
I like the idea of Make an Offer/Counter Offer—but that doesn’t seem to lend itself to this type of thread. l could quote GoDaddy’s Appraisals—but to me they seem quite inflated.
Would really like to know how you handle the initial “How much?”
