Hi Manoj - I have been told that you are selling this domain. What is your price? If it’s reasonable I can probably structure a deal. However, if you think it’s worth tens of thousands of dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars I can guarantee you that no one will be interested. Let me know ASAP and thanks!
Thanks,
*****

Hi ****,
There are 2 biggies out there
# 1 is **** - with a copyright for '*****' made in **** (2 years after i registered the domain name) and have invested billions in products in the name. (search for : ****)
# 2 is a business named '*****' which is growing everyday
I do feel any of these two will need them anytime in the future and it will be bigger worth then. I am an investor by nature. I can wait with a lot of patience.
I might be wrong and they might never need it at all.
But still selling it today for peanuts is not worth it.
Thank you very much for your enquiry.

Hi Manoj -
I know ***** (first company) very well, they won’t buy unless it’s reasonable. I’m the one that handled all of the domain transactions you mention below. They will not overpay for this - it’s not something they value highly - and if you want to sell to them this is your best chance.
I can’t speak to the other option (#2) other than to say that they probably won’t overpay either.
Best of luck!

Hi *****,
Let me quote just one example.
Just go thro the blog -
www.****.com - A blog with less than 100 articles recently sold for us$ 50000 on
www.flippa.com - Sales url : - There are more bigger sales too. Articles & SEO for blogs are very cheap nowadays thro
www.fiverr.com
A good domain name like ******* with lot of articles focussing the youth will get me lot of adsense money + a very big resale value in very short time.
I have been in e-commerce in India for almost 16 years now. You can check my site : ****** - I follow domain & web site sales closely and am very well aware about what happens.
So, it cannot be termed as overpaying. It is worth paying.
My offer is US $ xxxxxx (United States Dollars x Lakh Only) Nett. Escrow to be taken care by you.
Thank you very much!

Thanks, Manoj. I wish you best of luck then - seems like the only buyer you will have is someone that wants to pay for your traffic.
**** likely won’t be interested in the current traffic, unfortunately, and doesn't value the domain the same way.
Best,
*****

Hi *****,
It is not at all about traffic. It is all about the value of the name that bring to the buyer that matters .
I will again show you a recent example.
A startup bought the domain name without any traffic xxxxx for US$ xxxxxx
ref : xxxxx
If a name like that xxxx is so important for a startup,
then this name xxxxx is more highly important for a World renowned brand like xxxxxx
You know all this very much better than me.
My doors are always open for you!
