Hello namePros members

I've some domain names parked at uniregistry using for sale landing page, and recently one of them Got 12 Inquiries in 4 days, from 3 Chines companies, I searched all of them and found that one of them is so big, I asked them to make an offer but they asked for the price I thought they might need to know the price range first so they don't make a higher offer, so I sent a price quote to all three companies and I didn't hear back from any of them for almost 12 days, I followed up asking if they're still interested in the domain name and still no response for 3 days now, so I need your advice guys,
should I use uniregitry brokers as they can speak chines??

Notes: - the domain got an inquiry on afternic also.
- My asking price is lower than other domain extension with the same keyword.

What should I do guys??

I ignore all offers from china. I'd rather drop it. Don't use broker ever, imo.
First offer I got from China resulted in sale, $10,000. Offer start from $5,000. So, it's difficult for me to support your perspective.

Wow,good for you. When they offer me yuan, I feel disrespected and ignore. I can sell to whoever I want!

Let me clarify, I don't think everyone is playing games. I have since sold many domain names to Chinese buyers via Escrow.com, PayPal, even 4.cn without problems.

I'd caution that, I think, every situation is different. For my post above, there must have been an announcement for a new company or something back then, and local domainers raced to contact me and offered me lowballed offers, hoping to do quick flips. Some of them even claimed to be from the company (but all used generic free email addresses). Today that company is selling on JD.com and not even on its own website. I don't really care anymore.

Another example, I got a flurry of inquiries recently within days for another domain. After quick research, they were all seem to from the same group, but they forgot to talk to each other: One was from the close advisor of the CEO, one was from an IT director of a PR agency, one marketing manager, and the company's legal counsel. Each tried to use different languages but with the same low budget. Instead of increase my price with every inquiry, I just gave them the price that I think it is REALLY worth and walked away.

I'm at a point in my life that I don't need to sell to maintain my portfolio.
