discuss First $1 million offer

[garptrader]

offer via EFTY lander
domain is two-word .COM
buyer is outside the US

While it is possible the buyer is making an offer in a foreign currency which translated into USD is $XXX, I seriously doubt this offer is legit.

Regardless, we will play along and see how serious they are. I did respond to the buyer indicating offers must be in USD.

I have a minimum 2K offer on DomainNameSales and sometimes when the buyer see it replies with 10-11 figure digits... I always refuse them saying I don't like low-ballers

Lol. Since the topic is with the $ sign I thought that the actual offer came in USD. But when I reading the post I realised it is in another currency. May be Zimbabwe Dollar.

The EFTY landers do result in far more inbound inquiries than was previously the case.

However, most are either lowball offers or mistakes - people filling out the form but not understanding that a domain name is for sale and that offers should be submitted in US dollars. In some cases, people were looking for jobs (on a job-related keyword) and they input their desired salary. In another case (real estate domain), the "offer" was how much the individual was willing to pay for rent. I have a number of Spanish domains but the landers are in English so the instruction to submit offers in dollars may not be clear to individuals whose primarily language is not English.

If only we could convert those mortgage applications into leads

I now have my first $500 million offer - for a cryptocurrency domain.

Should I counter ?

While it is a confirmed EFTY offer, I don't believe it is legit.

Do you remember planes trains and automobiles ,anyone who would pay 500,000,000 for a domain name would certainly pay a billion

Only a few hours later I get another million plus offer for a real estate domain. It may be a legit offer but the buyer is from Medellin, Colombia so the offer is likely in Colombian pesos which would translate into mid-US$XXX.
