negotiable hchip.com - for sale

[Chris K]

Hey everyone,

So I started domaining about 5 months ago, I love it. I still have a lot to learn though, I have lots of dumb domains I should have never bought/regged, but I also have some that I believe are pretty good. Not all of them are good but very few terrible names (I think for the most part terrible/hard to sell domains are for the most part 3+ words, too many letters, too many letters and numbers, mis-spellings, etc)

I'm at the point where I want to start selling domains instead of buying until I can get back to even or +$$$.
I've listed my domains on sedo, and afternic, and have made a portfolio on flippa and efty. I've been listing a few on ebay and I've been sending out emails contacting end users. I have them all parked on bodis with a buy it now option on top of the page, and almost all of my domains get visitors every day.

The only luck I've had on ebay is breaking even after ebay/and paypal fees.

I've sent out at least a couple hundred emails and get many replies asking how much? But then I never get responses. Here is an example of one of the more recent replies I sent to a "how much" inquiry after reaching out:

"I am offering the domain at what I believe to be a reasonable price of $599.

If you look at sales of other domains on NameBio.com, comparable sales are as follows:
v-chip.org sold for $10,500
2chip.com sold for $2,985
vichip.com sold for $2,088
rxchip.com sold for $920
dchip.org sold for $320

Also, if you go to estibot.com, you will see hchip.com is valued at $1,300.

Please let me know if you would like to go ahead and purchase this domain name. The transaction would be done through either Paypal or Escrow.com. If you have any questions at all please feel free to call or email me. Have a great day!

Very Respectfully,
Chris K*****

Do any of you have recommendations on how to send a better reply email to the "how much" question? Also, I don't think I am ever asking too much for the domains, especially as I am trying to get my first sale after contacting an end user.

When I 1st started I would say its for sale, make offer, etc and not quote a price and I got little response and when I got "How much?" I would reply a price and get no response.

Then I started putting the price in the 1st email and started selling them.

I do not think that it is a good idea to mention comparable sales, estibot stuff, etc. in the very first mail.

Nevertheless, there are so many threads here how to properly writing emails and so on, just take a quick look after them ..

Thanks I'll try that
