Hello,
I bought an expired domain that I'm trying to sell.
The domain is something like: eogChicago.com (I've changed the exact initials and city name for the purposes of this discussion.)
There's one prominent marketing-focused business that's an obvious end user. It's a gymnastics academy called "Elite Olympic Gymnastics" located in Chicago (or rather, in the correct equivalent city with the correct initials).
The domain I'm selling, eogChicago.com, clearly matches their branding very well. The gymnastics academy's Facebook page name is eogChicago, and their twitter handle is also @eogChicago. They currently use the domain: eogGymnasticsChicago.com, which is obviously a lot harder to remember and doesn't match their branding as well as the domain I want to sell them.
I've spoken with the owner by phone, and she clearly really wants the domain. She said she used to own it, but her old tech person let it lapse by mistake. She connected me with her new tech person. However, ever since I mentioned money, both the owner and her tech guy have stopped returning my calls. I asked for $1500, and indicated lots of wiggle room in my price.
There's another investor who partly owns the business, but I can't find her contact info and I don't think she's very involved.
Any advice? Should I continue to call them? Give up? Try some other approach?
Meanwhile, I'm not sure if there are any other likely end users. I've found a couple of other businesses entitled "EOG" in Chicago, but they have no web marketing presence at all (it's not clear whether or not they're even open for business at this time).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
