How much did you pay for it? Endusers never fail to surprise me.

[End User King]

Just when you think it becomes routine, a prospective buyer throws you a curve. How would you respond? The name in question is a fresh reg composed of acronyms of a very popular health supplement.


Dialogue goes like this.

me: xxxx.biz is for sale. I am contacting businesses ...............dada dada dada.

enduser: How much do you want for the name?


me: $350, but currently still taking offers from xxxx related companies.

enduser: How much did you pay for it?

 

[Michael]

me: How much did you pay for your frontal lobotomy?

 

[lzy]

Tell him 351 and you're selling it at a loss. :D

Thats funny,

To be honest I believe has done a little research and seen the recent registration. However the ball is still in my court as most extensions of this domain are taken. I'll think on it a bit and get back with him/her.

 

[Spade]

Tell him that your "wholesale prices are not publicly disclosed. However, you I can tell you that it was acquired in the aftermarket recently"

Nice counter Spade. I wish I'd used that. My counter response to how much did you pay for it below!

"I paid less than $350. This name is highly targeted in it's use. Being that most extensions are taken and .biz is very similar to business in it's pronunciation, it's a bonus. The current offer of $200, though less than my asking price and my only offer thus far, goes to show that there is definately interest for the name. If you're still interested, let me know.

Sincerely,

Nurca"

i wouldn't respond & waste my time.
if he wants it, he'll buy it.

you want to buy a can of coke from your local cornershop
you say, 'how much did you pay for it'
you either get told to mind your business, or shown the door.

sometimes silence can golden.
With this name their aren't to many
end users playing ball.

Typing a counter reply that would take you less then a minute and sending it of with a chance to sell is hardly a waste of time :imho:
Granted, seeing the response it doesn't seem to be a buyer but if you don't shoot, you'll always miss. :hehe:

Sometimes less is more.
By even responding you are acting like a subordinate.
The waiting game often plays dividends.

Fair enough

I hope to prove you wrong Arnie with this transaction.
I'll reveal the name after my next email response.
If this campaign proves unsuccessful, then it's a lesson learnt
for anyone facing a similar enduser sale. Personally in the future,
I'll use Arnies "silent response" to questions about my acquisition
cost. And Spades "wholesale confidentiality" response when applicable.

thanks for the advice npers.

Good luck with the sale.

I wonder why he asks that, is he really an enduser?

 

[Spade]

I wonder why he asks that?

Because he probably looked at the registration date (saw it was recent) and said, this guy has got to be kidding, and decided to be a Smart @ss

Who asks online retailers what they pay for their products? I would not respond to a question like that, I suggest you ignore the email and let him contact you again, when he does, quote the same thing you did the first time.

"$350, but currently still taking offers from xxxx related companies"

Also, keep it professional.

 

[End User King]

So far I hear crickets.

Stay tuned.
The diary of the nonresponsive enduser continues....

 

[allnicksgone]

Tell him that is like asking a ticket broker how much he paid for concert tickets. You paid face value, now you are selling for market price.

Sounds good to me.

Sometimes the truth is the best way to deal with fools like this. I would have simply replied "6.75" and let his brain shortcircuit.
