Highest first offer at Sedo?

[wot]

With a reasonable set "min offer" of around $300 , what's the highest "first offer you have ever had at Sedo :?

Mine was $5,000 earlier this year, incidentally for a name that I had on another forum at the same time at just $1000 BUY NOW

We closed the sale in about 4 hours with offer /counter offer and I eventually sold at $12,000 - money was received from Sedo within 5 days of that first bid. :sold:

See this is the problem. No matter how big an initial offer is nobody ever accepts it. He offered you five times your BIN price and you still had to counter at 4, 6, 10 times what he offered you!!

That is why people lowball for the first offer. Because there is no possible way anybody will accept the first offer or counter with anything close to it. It is always 'they offer x, so i counter 10 times x'. They offer 2x and i counter 6x. Then you lose the sale.

Seems stupid to me. Great that it worked out this one time but I bet everybody who does this has tons of regrets for turning down good offers trying to squeeze more money out of the bidder.

I would NEVER accept a first offer, and I get plenty of sales from negotiation so I am afraid your assumptions are incorrect. You are assuming that bidders make their highest/only offer first - hmmm - in the wrong business methinks


In addition there never was and never is a BIN price on my names, only make offer (with a min offer price) - you should read the thread.

Do you accept the first offer then :?

... I replied to the offer with "In your dreams noob"

Sedo should add that one to their quick reply options :tu:

I have never recd. an offer on my names at Sedo

I got a $200 offer on one of my LLL.coms earlier this year as well -- I replied to the offer with "In your dreams noob"

Got another lowball yesterday -- countered with $1,234,567 and "this is my final offer" :lol:

lol I offered $100 for this CVCV.com which is also a dictionary word today thru Sedo and that person countered wit a price tag of $95,000..

I responded wit a $200 and "asking him to justify his asking price" and he countered wit much lower, actually half of what he was asking earlier.. $50,000 and "This is my last offer"

I responded by sending $500 as my last offer as well.. and he canceled the negotiation. :notme:

That is what I was referring to.

So you are admitting here that the only way to get a fair price out of you is to start with a lowball offer. Yet everybody complains about lowball offers. Maybe if people started negotiating fairly and not assuming/hoping that every bidder is a rich dumb end user, they would get more sales.

1. They would close more sales and not scare people off. 2. If everybody started doing this people would not be afraid to contact sellers. I think domainers really do scare people off with these greedy tactics.

$95,000 that is really good value for the domain name

I agree wit this one..

lol for a CVCV.com ??
I dont think so.. the domain was FERE.com

€5,000 for Amatrice.com - finally sold for €5,500

Not bad, as I had picked it up for $3,800 only a few weeks before. But then again, that's what I do, flip from week to week.
