Hi All!
I went to buy a domain on GoDaddy and found one I liked that was sitting there for a few weeks, but the price was a touch high for the name (for me).
It was a plural .COM domain. Here are some similar names with similar recent sales
texted.com $1850
hardboiled.com $2551
motorized.com $2700 USD
I contacted the seller and they went from $5000 to $4000, my budget was $3000.
I asked if they would accept that, they then replied with "I might have priced this too low and I'm hiring a broker."
Three questions:
1 How often does this happen to you when trying to buy domains?
2 How can I avoid someone backing away from a negotiation and seeking a 'broker'.
3 How do I respond to someone who tells me they have hired a 'broker'
People always think their property is worth more than it is, but I don't get how someone goes from $4k to 'broker' when met with a $3k offer. I'm fairly new to the game, so any pointers are appreciated.
Thank you in advance NamePros family, any pointers are appreciated.
