Although i can understand someone being annoyed and somewhat offended at a low bid, from what ive read from other posts is that a potential buyer is not going to start too close the the price that their willing to pay, so as to leave room for negotiations.

By the way i dont know the prices of these particular domains (LLLL) but i think steady negotiation in any potential deal or at least a friendly but to the point message may be more ideal in many cases.

I understand that people dont have time to waste and can often end up disappointed when something leads to nothing but i think taking the polite approach and not taking a low offer too personally may be best.

Its absolutely not my business what anyone offers a domain for, but i think in long term and reputation and feel that handling each situation accordingly and calmly is important.

It is true that people dont have time to waste. But this domain will never ever be worth $25k at least :imho: this is the reason i think the seller made a big mistake when he countered with $25k

limit.com may be worth of 25,000$

limit.com may be worth of 25,000$

limit.com would probably be worth more than $25,000, but the discussion is about limt.com, which is a typo of limit.com. It is a good typo, but not $25,000 good.

Interesting to note that limit.com is being used for a county supervisor election. What a strange application! In any case, a typo of a site that is not commercial puts further limits (pun intended) on valuation.

These are the type of prices we used to see alongside names on Afternic in the late '90s ... and nothing ever got sold.

Sorry but you're not doing any of us any favors by doing this.

Maybe. Then again, an end user sale is always desirable. For an end user, brand name dotcom is valuable.

Personally I would not let go of my LLLL.coms for reseller prices.

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.

When I get $100 - $150 offers on 3 character .com's, I may sometimes reply with $15k - $25k counters. I have no desire to enter into negotiations from such a low point, and that either flushes out a really interested buyer and they contact me via the whois, or tells the low-ballers to bugger-off.

You may hate it, but no more than I hate "You have received an offer!" messages only to find out it's an offer looking for a sucker as a seller.
