If you were an "end user" buyer ....what would you prefer

[gazzip]

to see - and why ?

A) Domain listed as - MAKE OFFER

B) Domain listed with a Seller's price expectation - (which is Open to Offers)

C) Domain listed with a FIXED PRICE


I rarely make offers on other peoples names at places like sedo but the few that I have ended up asking anywhere from $100,000 to $ 5 Million

So if this is also happening to alot of potential endusers I would think they'd just avoid "For Sale" domains like the plague....or contact the owner direct to negotiate openly.


Whats you thoughts on this ?


Thanks :tu:

I think a lot of sellers overvalue their domains and ask WAY too much. Most of the time when I've made (what I think are) reasonable offers on average open priced domains at Sedo, the sellers have countered back at $25,000.00 or $50,000.00.

Most buyers would rather see a reasonable fixed price. IMO.

I've worked with many end users and B is the preference and C doesn't really exist in my experience. (Even when a seller has a fixed price, some will jack it up or some with fixed price are willing to negotiate)

A is like a buyer going to a car lot where there are no prices on any of the vehicles. When you ask what it costs and wait for a response, that takes time and too often you get those nonsense 6 figure replies. Most endusers have budgets they need to get approved and it is much easier to do if they know what the price is in advance.

Buyers would like to see a fixed price. It will give them an indication of what the seller expects. There is always room for negotiations.

In my experience, a stated price is best. Sedo also says it right in their pages, domains with prices listed sell better, and I believe that to be true.

ripley.

stated price

but something reasonable to begin with. of course there are going to be set prices that are over the top, but i'm not going to agonize over it when i can't get it. i'm just going to look elsewhere for something i can get

As an end-user, fixed prices.
As a seller, I hate leaving potential value on the table.

Agreed. I know when I hunt for domain names, its quick and simple to run the math. If the price isnt fixed, its time consuming and frustrating.

 

[DNK.it]

fixed price is the best option

LOL the funny thing is - when people get offers, they imagine a multimillionaire as the buyer and that inspires them to first jack the price beyond value, then loose the sale - on the other hand, ppl like me that will readily accept xxx-xxxx offers for much of my domains - may be loosing out by not using that strategy- because Im sure its this that causes all those crap domains on sedo to be sold for xx,xxx

Option B is the best. Make offer and fixed price are often turnoffs.

 

[Archangel]

Expectation. That way, I'll offer what the seller wants and won't risk overpaying... for the most part

 

[HuntingMoon]

it really depends on the buyer, but a fixed price can be very suggestive and self-fulfilling imho. we also find that a fixed price encourages proper budgeting on the buyer's end.

B) is my choice, we like to negotiate just a little bit anywhere lower but near the expected price.

Most buyers tend to place offers when they have a good idea of what the seller is expecting.

definitely B
