when I get those sort of replies , I get mad, so I quit the negotiations.

Some people like to think that asking much more than what they really want is the way to go, I hate it.

 

[BLazeD]

Sedo doesn't let me counter higher than $10K for some reason.

 

[domainer50]

I see why you think that $150 is far to low, but $25k? If i were the buyer i would think you were jerking me around and I wouldnt even respond.

The buyer maybe probably someone here (or a domainer at least).... :yell:

Kindly let us know if the sale succeeded.
So that we can all start selling our "crappy" LLLL at at least a K :yell:

 

[WolfMother]

Yeah i'd say $150 is a joke of an offer, but your counter is insulting. Kudos if you were trying to piss off the buyer.

 

[Aggro]

Don't like lowballs?

Set a min price. Duh

 

[End User King]

You've got to be kidding me right? $25k?
Actually I think the offer was respectable, I would've probably
countered with $275-$300 to cover my Sedo fees.
Further I wouldnt be posting the name like this on domain forums
until a sale is completed.

Your call though!

 

[johntv]

Although I agree $150 is a way too low offer, personally I would counter with something like $2,500 and hope to settle for around $1,500 and would not settle for anything less then at least $1,000.

High Google results, close to 400,000 here in Holland, and many companies using 'limt', of which this one looks the most promissing:

Great name! Good luck

 

[domainer50]

I dont think the name is worth 1k honestly. I think its worth $500 MAX in a year i can see $1k but the names just sold out, they arent a goldmine quite yet.

Agree with you on the price of $500 max at this moment, just ment that personally I would not let this one go for less then $1,000, even if I have to wait (and I probably have to) for a few years.

This is one of the better LLLL.com's I have seen.

You may have just scared off the best chance of selling it to an enduser ?

Why did'nt you just reply closer to the range you'de be willing to sell it for ?

This is excellent advice. It amazes me how many people ask in open forum for appraisals days before the name goes up for auction. They also make no effort to hide the name from search engines, like "somename.com" as opposed to "s o m e n a m e (dot) com" (spaces between letters). If your appraisal comes in at reg fee then you just shot yourself in the foot.

I also suggest refrain from commenting on sales afterwards, as a courtesy to the buyer. If it is public knowledge, like a TRAFFIC auction, then it is ok to list the sales price without comment on whether it was high or low for each domain.

'cos he has no intention of selling, yet

(just my guess)

 

[Sameh]

Or he wants more attention before starting an auction :imho:

This thread is a great example of how not to do business. If I am a buyer & see someone asking for what they should sell a name for, I will think I have them right where I want them as they clearly do not have their own mind on value for their property.

Secondly if I get a ridiculous counter offer like that, I will just ignore it & chalk it up to a buyer being a jerk about it. Instead of feeling the person out & seeing what they would be willing to spend, you immediately convey to them that you don't take them seriously & they can piss off. Quite honestly the name is not a sure thing so you should take any offer you get seriously & go from there.

While your LLLL has good letters, it has no guarantee of being that money maker you want it to be. Most of the LLLL's I can guarantee will just end up trading hands for quite awhile. Banking on end users who might have companies to match letter combos is risky & a low % success rate at best.

I would seriously look into how you handle future offers or you could be screwing yourself over. If you don't want offers below a certain #, set a range so not to waste everyone's time.

 

[gemstar]

I really was not interested in the offer and was also not willing to sell below X,XXX . The 25k really was not serious and I figured you would have caught on to that. I should have been more clear.Im not in a hurry to sell however. I was not planning to make a big debate over this and Im surprised it has escalated to such a level.
Anyway's forget about it.
