I have never bought from buydomains.com before, but maybe I have inadvertently found the best way to get a great deal out of them, although possibly not quite right morally.
There was a domain on BD that I had been looking at for a while listed at $1700 and made an initial enquiry with a really low bid, but as expected, they didn't bite. No way was I going to pay above the odds for it, so I just forgot about it.
A couple of months passed and then earlier this week I was asked to acquire a domain at BD. It had to be that domain, it was listed at $4,088, I started with a really low offer at $888. Obviously they turned that offer down and came back $3,500. Then I offered $1,776, but including the domain I had wanted a few months before, now listed at $1,800. To my surprise they came back with a counter offer of just $2,500 for both domains. Anyway, we agreed on a final price of $2,160. So the list price of the two domains was $5,888 and they let them go for $2,160.
Quite happy with my deal I was all ready to transfer the money, they gave me the links to buy the domains, each one for $1,080. Because I wanted to pay from two different sources I paid for the most valuable domain first and then when it came to paying for the second one, PayPal had a fit over my choice of funding source and wouldn't allow me to make the payment.
It took a couple of hours to sort out the funding as I had to move the funds before I could make the payment. But the weird bit is about an hour after I paid for the first domain they released it to me. Now I would of thought they wouldn't release it, seeing as it was the most esxpensive domain, until I paid for both domains.
I would just like to point out that I did go back and pay for the second domain, as we made the deal and I wanted the domain anyway. But it raises a potential loophole.
