advice Offer Received For 3 days Old .IO Domain - xx.xxx

Spaceship Spaceship
Watch
I have received an initial offer of 20.000 USD for fresh registered DN in IO extension on Uniregistry.
I have info about the buyer - end user, I have his telephone number and email.
It is gambling DN.
I am tempted to counteroffer with 45k.

yes money is mega tempting

but if I don't take 20k few days after regging 30$ domain then I know I have problems.... like severe greed.

so try to eliminate the chance of this being fake or not serious buyer and making 20k roi...by not countering.

cause if u counter u will never know if fake offer or if buyer serious with his 20k

Thank you for your response Alcy

I know you have made deals in this level already, and of course, it would be great to make 20K on 3 days old DN and I would not like to be greedy.
But on the other hand, it is an initial offer so there is probably a space for more from strategy point perspective. I can call the guy by phone directly and make the deal over the phone too.

I won't get super greedy, but try countering 33 K confidently, and I am sure they will come back with 25, and then you can say it is a deal at 30K

This will be my plan

45k is more
than double 20k initial
With higher prices, readiness to purchase can decrease exponentially - not always linear relationship.

And for some rare luxury items, the relationship can be inversely proportional.
Thanks.

Was it a dropped domain or you just got an idea?

I would counter with 200,000 in order to show that guy how much I like gambling :) He would stop for a moment and respect me more for the mutual similarity and then would counter me with 20,001 :) I would accept it, in the end I would take $1 more which is bigger than zero.

counter $45K

But if you just got the domain 3 days ago, take the $20K fast and run.

I dont understand how you are thinking about 25k or 45k.
When its been 3 days since you invested 50$.
Use your intelligence.

You are not in a position of power.
He's got money, there's alternatives.

He got the money but not the domain, if someone first offer is $20,000 , That mean he really want the domain.

I would take the offer immediately...but I always prefer a bird in the hand.

Good luck!

If you don't want to accept it, counter it with $30K. This is a reasonable amount and the buyer may accept provided he's legit one.

If you think that the offer is legit and you trust it, then go ahead and counter it!!! Instead it's your decision!! as team we will be happy if you get more and be sad if the deal is bounced!! About 90% people are suggesting you to accept offer and get away. Then purchase good domains and continue domaining!!

End of the day it's your gambling!!!

All the best!

Being greedy and risking 20k on a 3 day old handreg is stupid.
Theres smart risk, and dumb risk..

And you shouldn't gamble, you should be doing business.

Better to take 20K and regret that you might/could have sold it for 45K if everything else would have gone according to your plan (and chances of that happening extremely slim), or wait for 45K, never get it, and regret not selling it for 20K.

I would suggest to take the money. Even if the domain is in Gambling niche, does not mean you should play a 20k gamble.

Please update here either way.
