offers I accepted an offer on Afternic but client now don’t pay.

I’ve been going back and forth with an Afternic broker for over a month, and we finally reached an agreement on one of my best domains. (6 figures) However, several weeks have passed, and according to the broker, “the client is still working on this.” What does that even mean? Is there any way to know if the sale will go through, or has the buyer lost interest? The wait is incredibly frustrating.

If it is taking several weeks for payment it is unlikely to pan out.

However, there is not much you can really do but wait and hope it does.

Yep, all you can do is be patient and see what happens.

Since it's a significant amount, be doubly patient because things move very slowly with large corporations. A expenditure like that probably has to be approved at multiple levels, so just concentrate on other stuff and you might get a nice surprise.

It means the negotiation is active

You could ask the broker the specific question you want to know

first step: pick up the phone and call the broker

second step (most important ): come back here and update us

good luck, hope it works out

Best of luck! Always, the right buyer will recognize the value. Just give it some time, and stay positive.

I recently negotiated a domain sale with a multimillion-dollar company for $5,000, and then it went completely silent...

Not sure what that has to do with anything, as this is apparently a 6-figure transaction and no one releases 6-figures without a lot of approvals along the way.

The transaction could still go bad, but no way you're getting your money immediately.

Maybe the broker is on vacation?

the broker always reply me very fast and seems very interested to close the deal.

For large amount of money and transaction from end user, it may take a while.

The old rules of offer and acceptance are harder to enforce with the middleman keeping the contact deets.

But if you had an offer accepted via email my understanding is that is a contract that could be enforced.

Touch wood it goes through.

“the client is still working on this.”

this reply means at least buyer still willing to buy ATM, but large amount needs some times

If it's for 6 fig, there will prob be other parties involved (e.g. CEO/founder/partner/investors/board/finance/legal/marketing etc).

It only takes one to scupper the deal, so just wait.

Patience is best option. If you try to force and buyer is on the fence, they may back out.

It's unethical and unfair because because they agreed to a binding contract, but at the end of the day if they want the domain they will buy it.

Just be patient
That amount of money needs approval at different levels if it’s a large corp
Good luck!
