Another offer!

[wisconsin]

Is it the spring time or what? I just received another offer of $1200 for the domain:

intentive _ com

The buyer is a professor at a well know university and a software engineer!

What do you guys think? Here is our email communications. I am sharing these emails as I believe we all can learn something!



Hello,

I'm writing to ask if you would be willing to sell/transfer this
domain.

I lead a technical project relating to software assurance, and
the name is a good match for what we are doing.

Would you be willing to have a discussion about this?
(If the domain is not yours, please accept my apologies for
contacting you in error.)

Thank you,

I may consider a decent offer!

Thank you for your note.
Would you accept an offer of about $200?
(I don't have much budget!)

I wrote:

Hello,

That's very low! I may consider $3k This domain is worth a lot more!

I talked my colleagues up to $1.2k -- any chance we could do it
in this neighborhood?

Seems like a good deal you should go for it. :D

Wisconsin - you're on a ROLL!
Try and counter with $1500.

Believe it or not! I just got ( 1 minute ago) another offer response on a different domain name from last week. I will shortly disclose the email and the domain name!

Hopefully for your sake they are legitimate offers and are not some fools trying to play games with you. I've had a negative experience once with a guy who sent what appeared to be a bogus offer as I replied and never heard another thing from him.

I wish you the best of luck and hopefully they'll all go through fine if you decide to accept the offers.

Thanks ChrisVirtue!

I've receive many of those bogus offers as well in the past and I am sure I will continue to get them.
I believe it's a real offer since the buyer gave me the phone number of where he works as well as their university email address + web address.
I did some homework and they matched!

The professor's offer looks legit and straight up. Tx for sharing the chronology of the negot. I am in the middle of negotiations for a name in exactly the same price range, and seeing what appears to be a successful example is very helpful. Tx again. :tu:

Geesh, this isn't looking good for buyers

bogus, I say.

 

[Badger]

nice offer, nice domain... No point being greedy... $1200 appears a win win for both..

No worries re: bogus or not... Just do a trace on the IP and keep your fingers crossed it doesnt reside in Russia....

Good luck in your endeavours

I would recommend accept the 1200 and go through escrow.

Take the 1200 and make you both happy.
Thats a GREAT price for this domain !

Hey Wisconsin. Spring has sprung! To enhance your thread, (not trying to take focus away from), just wanted to share some of my own good news here. Just got a phone call from the buyer I was negotiating with, (mentioned in the post above), and just closed a $1,500 sale. Not at liberty to divulge now, because we are still having discussions over 2 (maybe 3) other names and don't want Google indexing the name, but will announce soon, as I'm sure these folks will not have a problem with that. woohoo!
Surfs up! :wave: -and- The grass is green!

GO GO Grrilla. Congratulations on the 1.5K sale!

Wisconsin, continued good luck with your sale!

Edit: Removed my comments regarding posting emails in public.
(I realized they are probably better suited for another time) :]
