Hi

I bought a .net domain yesterday that I backordered through snapnames (I did it at namejet and pool aswell), we were two that backordered it through namejet (asuming it's the enduser)

This morning I got an email from the guy/firm that owns the .com and .dk domain (the name is a common word, no TM).

The .dk website is a portal where people can get "things" listed (wont be more specific) and the .com just redirects to the .dk

In the mail he ask if the domain is for sale, as he can see there arent any website on it.
I've allready had ideas for a mini site on the domain and made a simple logo.

If I can get a good price for the domain I will sell, if not I just keep it.

The firm the guy is from is one of the big webfirms in dk, with all kinds of portal and websites, in multiple niches.

(lots of text sofar... )
But my question is, how do I answer him ?
I've thought about answering him that he can come with an offer, but that I've allready have ideas how to develop the domain.

Thanks for reading
Allan

More than likely they were watching this domain or found out about it straight after and offered a quick $1000 to try to seal the deal before it landed in the hands of their competitors.

Tell him the domain is not for sale.

This tactic will make him want the name more. I might even add "Bill Gates doesn't have a big enough wallet to get this gem". This tactic will also make him want the name even more.

Then sit back and wait for the $xx,xxx offers to start rolling in. IMO.
