Have you ever re-bought a domain name back from the buyer who purchased it from you?
I once sold a name on Afternic for $799 BIN and in the 30 odd days, I received an offer on Sedo for $2000 for the same name. Remember this was the starting offer so I was assuming that I could negotiate to $3000.
I went back to the buyer to see if they would be interested in selling the name for $1000. They said no! After trying to convince a couple of times, and them saying no straight away, I told them that I have received an offer for the name and would be willing to pass on the lead. And should the sale happen, would they be willing to share 20% of the profits?
They didn't want to sell at all because they were planning to build something on the name! That's how it ended!
2 years later and there is still no website on the domain name.
Any story that you have, trying to re-purchase a domain name? And how was the experience?
