discuss Got 12 Inquiries in 4 days for one domain name

[Memomax]

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 had a similar case where I got 7 inquiries on one domain. I raised the price by $500 with each inquiry. I figured it was the same person. I finally got an email entitled WTF. I responded back and said I could say the same and the price has just increased by another $500.

I did end up selling it but I originally said 5k and ended up selling it for quite a bit more.

I am currently negotiating with a company from Switzerland as well and it their fourth inquiry, I just quoted 4k more. They will either walk or buy before it costs them more.

Hahaha I like your style but franly speaking can't do it right now as I didn't sell any domain yet :D
and I have to pay for domains renewals :D
wish you more success

I like your style @MapleDots

Game players get played

Indeed

I actually thought they didn't replay because of the chines new year holiday which was 2 weeks as I've been told, also the inquiry is from established website for mid/big companies, but I want to ask you if they didn't like the price wouldn't they negotiate instead of ignore??

Yeah a serious buyer would negotiate or make an offer/counter offer. This is a someone playing silly games

I get a ton of Chinese inquiries but none have ever turned into sales. In fact, none have ever responded to my responses to them. I even assigned the leads to a Uni broker and they couldn't reach them. Curious...

the Inquiries came from mid/big Companies with phone numbers but I don't speak chines so I thought a broker would be a better choice, but also as they didn't replay or made any offer, they might do the same to the broker I guess, and also I'll not be able to contact any upcoming leads to the domain as it's handled by a broker.
the best thing to do for now I guess is waiting for a response.

Very true, I'm just curios why would someone play silly games with real emails what is their point!!

i really like your ways to beat those pushover LOL

btw @Memomax if you already know the companies you should research and find their competitor, try to offer your domain to your competitor as well. If you want to heat up the competition, you could place your domain name on single page website lander showing : Coming Soon, Be Patient For The Next BIG Thing!!!

LOL

Good Idea I would try it for sure but i'm afraid that Iwouldn't be able to ask for the price I want as i'm the one who is chasing them.
Hahaha the Coming Soon Idea is brilliant but shouldn't I unlist the name from all marketplaces?

if your domain name were not trademarked, if your domain name is common word you might add some competitor product as background on your coming soon page

I have received 630 Inquiries through Uniregistry, with only one success sale.

 

[Omar Negron]

If you responded to them already, there is really nothing more you can do.

I would just continue to follow up with them periodically to see if they are still interested in the domain name. Inbound inquires are the best =)

I just hope you don't get another email, selling a similar domain with some silly prefix/suffix. .

I've one such experience.

@jamaltq Is this normal?? is it about the platform it self?? what's the reason of this in your opinion??

And thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated.
