domain I've been offered $4,000 for this name today. Should I sell?

[ezinestein]

Hey,

The name is c-a-r-s-f-o-r-u-m . c-o-m without all the dashes.

Back in 2005 the version without the 's' sold for $15K. If it was yours, would you sell my version for the $4K offered?

Thanks.

I think it's a decent offer.

If you are not happy with it, counter to $6.5k

Wish you the best luck!

btw: does it receive typein traffic from .co.il?

 

[h2o]

It's a great domain. If you are in need of the cash, I would say push to Sedo auction.

Times are tough for people. If you're satisfied with the offer, I say take it and run. Otherwise counter with a slightly higher offer and see what they say.

 

[jagdotme]

Sell if you need money!
Then again sell it Anyway its a good offer

 

[bgmv]

How much did you acquire it for?

I think you could try asking for a little more, maybe around $6k - it cant hurt

 

[DubDubDubDot]

I would get a deal done with this guy. It's an awkward sounding domain. How much interest have you had prior to this?

Before doing any deal make sure it is not a scam.

Best of luck

My advice counter it $5000

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to let me know your thoughts. I'll think over what I'm going to do, and I'll post back.

Thanks again,

Accept the offer if you need the money. The market is not doing great nowadays, and you are unsure if you can find another end user in the future.

carSforum is not CARforum.

Take it or you will regret it!

Some buyers feel discouraged when you suddenly change gear.

But if you have no urgent need to sell, store it the way you store wines.

Absent some specific answers to the questions above (traffic, previous offer(s), acquisition cost, present cash needs, who is (End user buyer) inquiring, etc.), I'd say accept the current offer (I know you've owned it for a long time) and move professionally to escrow! :yell: :talk: :imho:

All the best, and please update as best convenient.

With $4000 in this current (and desperate?) economy, you could buy one 'good' domain, or a few 'very decent' domains, that would be a lot better down the road to have, then this one!

So sing along with Steve Miller and usualcliche - "..take the money and run!" :music:

 

[r3born]

Take the money. This is not an extremely good domain.
In any case, do not counter with $5000. Either sell for $4000 or counter with $8k+ if you want to try your luck and not short of cash.

HI

I would also take it... and run..

I wouldn't sell, unless I needed the cash badly.

CarForum.com would be a lot better than the plural, but it is still nice.

$4K is a good offer for it IMO. I have never seen a forum domain that is plural sell for any more than that.
