Low ball domain brokerage

[DNabc]

I really don't get it...
Some weeks ago I received a contact by a known brokerage team, with a very low $xxx offer... and the counteroffer wasn't much better.

That person wasted $70 when on the domain itself there is a top link with:
"Inquire about this domain name"
and if they know how to check the whois I have my info there.
If they want to hide their identity, create a new email. If it's because of any negotiation tactic... well, they only made a weak counteroffer, anyone can do that. I lost my time jumping between hoops to see their offer, make my own, etc.

Why would I sell for low $xxx, and wait a lot of time for that money, instead of selling directly? No thank you.

no.

- OP of this thread didn't use DBP, he is saying that his info is not whois protected.

- OP of the other thread didn't use the 70$ service.

I think there are a couple of possibilities: The potential end user does not know much about the domain name industry and wanted some expert help. It might be just one of several that the person is considering.

Another is the person has a business with same name and did not want to be identified.

I am not sure about brokerage services,

I had some offers very low ball x,xxx from sedo for a particaluar domain name over and over again. I am thinking, they low ball it to keep the difference.

It doesn't make sense to low ball an offer and pay $70 for it.
Low ball offer =conserve money
conserve money =why spend $70?

Makes no sense.

I think the brokerage somehow, wants a bigger cut, because they're the one in charge of the transactions.
