.mobi Offer on Sedo for "Chetumal.mobi"

[garrett200]

Received the minimum $60 offer on Sedo. Chetumal is a city in Mexico, more specifically the capital of Quintana Roo State. It is the place where a big hurricane hit earlier this year. POP: 150,000 and growing.

What do you guys think I should do? I obviously would like to get more than $54 (after Sedo commission) for it. Send to auction???? Keep???

Maybe send to auction with a reserve.

Maybe send to auction with a reserve.

Too late for the reserve part, the reserve was $60. But send to auction might be a good idea. I think the domain has value for a few reasons:

1. It is the capital of a State.
2. It is a growing tourist destination, near ancient ruins, etc.
3. The population has increased dramatically in the last 10 years, and looks like it will continue.

My thought is to send it to auction, or renew for another year and keep. I don't need the money, so maybe I should keep it.

I think it could be a great "up and coming" kind of geo.

Make a counter-offer of $200. They would probably raise the offer to $100. Then send it to auction.

or

Keep it and renew it. You may get better prices in the future.

Agree. Make a counter offer of 3 x initial bid and then send it to auction.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I didn't think anyone was here on the day after Thanksgiving!

Does anyone have a guess as to the actual value of the domain? I'm thinking that possibly the bidder is the Mexican Government or the .com owner. Can't be sure, but I don't know who else would want it at this point. It gets almost no traffic right now and no clicks.

 

[garrett200]

Since I don't need the money, I have decided to cancel the negotiations and keep the domain. Thanks all for your input.

I ended up just waiting for the time to expire on the offer. Keeping this domain for now unless someone offers me high XXX for it.
