Negotiation does not end well.

[Dondomainer]

The usual receive an email from ( DomainAgents ) a company that says mediate for a buyer, interested in one of my domains, initial offer

DA - $200,
ME - Declined, ( do not send a counter offer )
DA - $500
ME - Declined, ( send counter - x,xxx ) and I make contact, bla bla, why this is a great domain, bla bla.
DA -Say : I can not offer more than - $800
ME - Declined, ( send counter - x,xxx ) Reduce - 500

But then, send me other offert of $850

Excuse me!, just he told me earlier that you can not offer more than $800 but then, rise to $850, so basically I reduced the price for nothing, why he offer again after saying " I can not offer more than - $800 ", so basically he lied to me or at least it is how it feels.

My final answer - Cancel negotiation.

If there is someone here from Domain Agent, do not take this wrong, just that if your agent says you can not more than one figure, should not continue offering especially if the other party has lowered the price.

If you feel like you were taken advantage of in a negotiation because you lowered your price, remember that it was you who lowered your price. You'd have none to blame but yourself for not being firm on your pricing.

It's not as if he used the Jedi mind-trick on you for crying out loud...

 

[DomainAgents]

Just wanted to chime in, in case it wasn't clear: as a seller, when you're negotiating on DomainAgents, you're doing so directly with the domain buyer.

If you're being assisted via email, we are working as a neutral third party and not advising either side on strategy or how much to bid etc. We're there to iron out the bumps that can derail negotiations, educate and assist in whatever way we can.

We've seen lots of offers come in at the minimum $200 and ultimately end up in four or five figure sales. So it's always worth negotiating. (Plus you get paid $10 just to negotiate.)

very confusing thread indeed. right from start of it.

 

[DomainAgents]

Sorry, I don't follow. The seller is entering their offers directly into the site and the buyer is entering their own counter offers directly into the site. The way the OP described it, I thought it might not be clear.

No he no pretending, because he said - I can not go higher than this. $$$... then later, do the exact opposite.

Consequences : I lower the price $ 500 for a lie.

The question is :

what happens, if I had not reduced the prices, because certainly he can offer more.

You see, an advantage, taken from a lie.

I get what you mean but to me he may have had 900 or so in his account for example or spare he may have had outgoings or costs and stretched that far to make sure it was nearer 1000. How can you really know for sure this was a definite lie? Did you reverse his email? Was he a domainer or a real customer? A new business? What was the domain? Maybe he had agreed to borrow the extra or ignore something else. If he was a domainer sure you may have lost out there.
