Lowballers are idiots.

So about a week ago I went into my Sedo account and added prices for all 300 domains in my account hoping to get a sale and more offers.

Today just got an offer on a LLL.net (ezx).

However to my surprise I screwed up and had a price of $150 on the domain!

I was like OMG no!

I logged in to see the offer ...it was $100. So I immediately cancelled negotiations and fixed the price. Right now there is a lowballer that's really pissed off for losing $1k domain over $50.

I gotta say if I saw a $150 buy it now for a LLL.net...I would take it immediately.

Lowballers are idiots.

If he had accepted the $150, you would have received net $90 for the LLL .net domain name? :o

I agree that lowballers stink, but you have to get used to it in this business - seems like everyone, with the exception of some motivated End users, are all tightening their belts and looking for bargains, IMHO. :blink:

Best of Luck, Jesse.

What an idiot!

Don't get me wrong, I like to get good deals and I may have been known to haggle over a price for a few bucks. However, if I ever see things like this I don't play games. That would be like the guy who got those LLL .coms a couple months ago for $750 trying to submit a lower offer.. :lol:

I think the sellers who accept lowball offers, who underestimated the true value of their domains are idiots. Lowballers are not idiots B-)

Agree 100%.

There's a time to haggle -- this was clearly not the time :laugh:

I've lost a few good deals myself in the past from trying to haggle too much and now tend to scoop up good deals when I find them -- losing this sale in an attempt to save $50 is about as stupid as one can get.

Saving $50?

You mean not gaining an extra $50 profit in the instant $1000 odd flip that would have been made

end user maybe doesn't know (doesn't care / isn't realized) what the minimum price for short domain. They just make offer that meet their budget ...

I do not believe you are obligated to honor the price expectation you set at Sedo, do you? If I remember correctly, many people set a $60 price on the LLL.coms they list at Sedo to attract people to send in an offer, then they counter with the real price of the domain. And the seller isn't breaking any rules by refusing to sell at $60... That's the way Sedo works, I think. Don't quote me on this though, since I don't use Sedo much.

You can set a minimum offer or a fixed price. Domains that are set with minimum offers may be counter offered. However, if you set a fixed price and someone agrees to that price I am pretty sure you are locked into a deal.

So tell me this, are you going around making better offer than those people? Domainers can't have it both ways.

Unfortunately many (if not most) new domainers seem to think the only way to make money in this business is to lowball people. I don't know where they got this idea from -- I've never heard DN Journal or top domainers mention they got to where they are today from lowballing everyone...
