discuss Funny replies by possible end-users

[kite26]

As we know, many domainers send emails to promote their names to the buyers. Do you have any funny replies by them? Don't post names or addresses, only the messages!

I wrote in the mail that its a very good domain in certain category and I got reply:

If it is a very good domain, why don't you use it?

"Wow! $3K for a cutesy domain. I just wanted to use it as a gag site to share with friends. How about this, I'll offer you $1K, my next child (I have too many already), and a case of your favorite microbrew."

Got this last week:

"That kind of sounds like a gay porn site. We'll pass."

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

''It's a good domain but I have no internet.''
Got it via email haha
I knew he actually meant '...no money' but it seemed that he didn't want to say it.

I don’t need it. But you can buy my company and have everything.

"That's a ripoff! I wouldn't pay more than $100 for this! Tell your seller he's out to lunch!"

- A reply from someone when I was emailing/brokering for a 7-figure domain, which I won't name here. So many people, even big business owners, still don't understand that there is an actual domain trade out there and that premium category-killer dot com's can market value in the six and seven figures or more. I get these kinds of replies almost every day that I send out emails for premiums. But this reply was especially entertaining. I did in fact tell my seller that he was out to lunch, but he still wouldn't take the $100 offer.

I would reply ''It's not my job, it's my passion sir!''

Never insult a ''unusual'' buyer. Be calm. You never know. Some positive replies come after days or weeks.

Outbound on a VR domain, they own the reverse reg which is undeveloped, I assume they have plans for it.

Me: Are you interested in this domain?

CEO: How Much?

Me: Low $xxxx

CEO: Don't you think that's a bit much for something that cost a few dollars?

Me: My cost is irrelevant, if you bought an ounce of gold for 5% of market value, would you sell it for the same price because that's how much you paid? Please note that all alternative keyword combinations are in use or locked down, there is no further .com digital real estate left pertaining to this keyword.

Him: You'll have to find another client, I mean victim, hah.

Me: As a CEO of a company based in two continents, you'd be wise to keep an open mind and do some research on the value of domains, and how they can improve your online presence. One last question, is your brand and company image only worth $10? Is this the value you put on protecting it? Have a nice day.

I was courteous but I had to get a dig in.

Maybe he goes off and does some research but I doubt it. Afterall, domains are only worth $10.

I quoted too high for him..got a fast response.

"Oh, that is F-ing hilarious. Thanks for the humor!!! ROFLMAO"

[Dominium]

Lmao you're trippin'. The domain [cvcv].com is worth $5 LOL

 

[kite26]

I remember one that make me feel scared: ''You are a spammer, i will chase you to the end of the world!'' (in greek)

I once marketed a brandable .COM to a local magazine asking if they would be interested without stating a price. They said yes. I responded with a low $XXX price which they stated was way too expensive. I wonder how much their advertising rates are for a one-page ad? Probably more than that.

 

[1NiteStand]

There was an article by will and omar (IIRC) about how to take these responses with a grain of salt because they are valid potential end-users

Funniest I had was "It's just a domain name get a real job"

 

[kite26]

Before 11 days i had this conversation:
Me: Hello sir do you want ''this'' domain name?
He: (in french) No, this is my name!My name is my!

Hahaha, he went crazy when he met the perfect ngtld for his .com!But he recognized me as thief!

 

[usernamex]

This was not an outbound reply, this was incoming from my "Request Info" form on my hack domain pea/rs (.RS is Serbia)

I like pears but I don't need a domain. Maybe next time!

 

[RGkiiing]

I once marketed a relevant two-word .COM in the game sector. Response....

F%$! Off!

I got this guy from France ... Very Wierd. He sent me an email asking for a price .... I said that I was open to offers if He was interested, he said: "No, i really dislike your kind of activities, i can’t call this business."

I replied: "Hum, ok ... Why did you ask then ? Are you having problem with people making money ?"

He said: "You already know that your job not something that you can be proud of.
I don’t have any problem with earning money, i have a problem with parasitism of the people that really work and produce something."
