Contacted by enduser

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

well you're answering yourself
Tell them: "I bought this name for development purposes, but I can consider a good offer. What is your budget for acquiring this name?"

If they have the .com which forwards to .dk I don't think they will pay a lot for .net...

[kotan]

so let me get this straight... u backordered a domain, without initial intentions to flip it over any time soon, but then managed flipped it over the next day at $1k...?

...wow. i'm not anywhere near as good as that T_T

 

[phunky]

I can't mention the domain, they want the sale kept private.
