Hi all,
I have had an offer via Sedo for the MAX.IM

Not really sure if to accept, would appreciate some feedback from you guys on the possible and potential value, so I have an idea if to accept or not.

Was going to put it in the appraisal section, but it is a bit of both info i need.

Thanks for your help.

It would be really nice if somebody here with a degree in 'Mumbo Jumbo Small Print' could clarify the Sedo sales fees.

The parking exception doesn't apply to .im, apparently :td: But, I've been known to misunderstand the fine print, before :p

-----------------
Easydoms,

maximum wishes you the "max" luck for "maximum profits" for this "max" name :tu:

The Sedo system of not telling you who is making the offer, sucks bigtime in my opinion. How the hell can you make an educated decision whether to except an offer when you don't know who it is coming from?

Ethically speaking I don't think you are supposed to set your selling price of an item based on exterior circumstances. Such as selling a hammer to a common person for $5, while charging a business $20 for the exact same hammer... Basically, you should set a price for the domain based on the quality and worth of the domain and attempt to get that price regardless of who is interested in buying it.

Actually I think there is a law about this, but you couldn't tell by looking at business in general. Pharmacutical companies sell drugs to third world nations for pennies, yet charge Americans hundreds of dollars for the same drugs... I guess in that example, neither can afford them Ethics are dead in my opinion, just thought I'd interject with some food for thought

Looking at 30 Euros after fees, and registration cost more than that.
Counter with 1,900E or approx and see what happens.

Well if that's the case, how come Name Pro's runs around the concept of resellers?

And, in real estate, you would always hold out for money from a property development company who wants to build a mall on your land.

In a free market world, it rarely works this way. Car dealers sell different prices based on how good the customers negotiates, how much they need the sale to meet quotas, and how easy it is to make the transaction. Other pricing factors are package deals, customer loyalty, ease and speed of payment, sales costs such as escrow in the case of domains, etc.

Many thanks for all your comments. Been sunning myself for 2 weeks in the med!!!

No further news from the initial offer, have extended the offer to them for another 7 days.

Having gone through all the comments, will also list on afternic and see what interest it gets.

Thanks again to all who joined in the post.

I'd like to sell just one of my .im's to cover the reg fee's on the rest.

NICE ONE :wave:

Just a quick update on MAX.IM.

Had 2 further offers both for 500 Euros and countered with 1000 Euros. Heard nothing back from them!!!!!

 

[loscocco]

thats pretty good, have there been any recnet high sales of the .IM?

 

[deleted984054565403]

I wouldnt take anything under $10,000usd just because it may be maxim magazine. Make em pay for it, they got the money. They spend more then that on food preps for a single photo shoot.

That's what I'd do -- I personally see more value in the domain.

Congratulations on the 500 Euros offer, and good luck with your counter-offer!

 

[Easydoms]

Another offer today for $500, just entered it into the Sedo auction!!!

Lets see how we go with it.

Any thoughts on how it may go??
