End-users tricks?

[buywiser]

As a end-user: is there any tricks/methods how to make the owner lower his price tag on the targeted domain name?

Besides asking?

It's a hard question really...

Time is a pretty big factor. Not everything is for sale unless the price is right.

You fight a fine line with "proving" the value of the domain.

Similar sales.

Domain buyer broker.

Just some idea's.

I know for myself having been on both sides.

Sometimes throwing a lucrative offer that doesn't insult the seller but tempts him enough to seriously consider the transfer is pretty smart.

HTH

The best you can do is make a lower offer and justify it. Go to DN Sale Price- Domain Name Sales Price and History and do a search for the main term (usually a noun) in the domain. IE Let's say the domain you want is FastDelivery.com. 'Fast' is an adjective while 'delivery' is both a noun and the the more important keyword. Search for .com domain sales that have 'delivery' in them. Now, take the sales from the last 2-3 years and average them up. IF the average is lower than the seller's asking price for the domain, show him the comparable sales and mention that his price is over the average selling price for domains with the term you searched. As with anything with business, there are no guarantees but you might be able to get the seller to lower his price this way.

And just whose side are you on?

Nice advice.

Sellers have the right to price their domains as they see fit but I weep a tear when I see things like 24GoodDomains4Sell.biz priced at $5,000 :p
