Basically, it was a matter of standing strong in my boots right from the start. Here's how the process went...

It was a young lady who first emailed me with a very brief message: "would you consider selling this domain name?" That's all there was. This strongly indicated to me that this was a VERY serious, interested party. Why? Basic human psychology. Most offers that come through ramble on and either made an offer or ask for a price right from the start. I felt this was someone who knew how to play the game -- they wanted ME to make the first move in the price war.

I decided to NOT respond to that first email to test my theory. If they WERE as interested in the name as I suspected, they would ask again soon. Sure enough, 3 days later I received another email with another very brief message asking the same question as before. I waited 2 days this time then replied with "I wouldn't rule it out, but it would have to be a very substantial offer as I'm currently using this domain for my business. Have a nice day."

The next day, an even shorter email from her: "What is 'substantial?'" I replied the next day with "I would not consider any offers of less than $12,000."

Several days later she emailed me with: "Is there any way you could take $4,000 for it?" (Now mind you, I knew I had a serious buyer on my hands at this point, and it was time to really play the game). I waited several days to let them sweat a bit and let them wonder if I dropped the issue because of their low offer. I finally replied to the lady with: "I'm sorry, but as I mentioned last week, I can't consider any offers of less than $12,000 as I am using this for my business".

She replied within hours this time (I sensed she was growing impatient) and said: "Can I have my boyfriend call you? He's better at negotiating".

Now THERE'S a dead giveaway! I gave her my phone number, and the next day I got the call from a very friendly down-to-earth gentleman: "Hi Gene, me and my girlfriend are starting a business and we're interested in your domain name. I could pay you $5,000 right now... and use escrow.com for the transaction -- I'll even pay the fees".

At this point I acted like I was growing very impatient. I explained to him everything I told his 'girlfriend', and nicely said g'bye.

Because of many things he said in our conversation, I suspected that this 'couple' were actually working for a major corp somewhere, acting as a mom & pop business.

He called the next day and left a message on my answering machine (I was expecting this would happen, so I didn't pick up the phone). "Hey Gene, we've been thinking about it and we decided we could go up to $10,000. Please let me know if we can make a deal -- call me as soon as you can".

I waited 2 days, called him back and after a bit of small-talk I said "it's been nice talking with you and I really wish you well in your new venture, but $12,000 is my absolute lowest starting point". (notice the key words "starting point"... I intentionally used those words so as to give the impression that I may even try to negotiate a higher price if you gave me time to think about it!). I got off the phone quickly, and waited for him to make his last move. He called that evening and accepted the $12,000 price. He began the escrow, I transferred the domain and I had the bank-check in hand about 10 days later.

Patience is your best friend in this business!

Gene

which proves the phrase right - you dont start to earn money until you say no

in a sales situation its knowing how to ask for the order and then say absolutely nothing and see how long that the silence lasts because the first person to speak after the silence that follows asking for the order loses eg if sales guy {lost the sale} if customer {customer signs order and a sale is made}

in your case saying no earnt you $8000 well done

A few domains we have sold (reaching out via outbound) over the past 48 hours, include the following:

FleetManagementService.co.uk - £200
TaxResolutionServices.net - $200
ContractorLeads.net - $250
BusinessPhoneNumbers.co.uk - £200

Acquisition cost of names: under $40.

the fleet one and business domains are worth considerably more i reckon

someone got themselves a couple of bargains

but they are the sort of domain names i tend to buy { but i do like to buy them at £6.99 tho lol

Thanks! I attempted some outbound, however I don't think it had much effect. Also no premium listings but the auction got a lot of natural traction to my surprise.

No sale whatsoever since November last year and then handful of them over last two weeks:

Domain name: Igni (dot) co
Sale Venue: NameCheap
Listing type: BIN
Listing upgrades: none
Asking price: $1000
Sale price: $800 (minus 10% commission)
Purchase price: $2.78
Details: Initial offer of $500 came via Bodis lander. I would've normally countered with 2-2.5k, but at that point I had no sale for 7 months and money for renewals was badly needed. In my initial quote I gave some reasons explaining why I thought domain was worth the asking price. Buyer was grateful for information, but they also said that $1k was too much for them. I replied with further arguments and offered 15% discount if buyer was to respond within next 5 days. On the last day of that "window" buyer came back asking for a few more days to make decision. I agreed and they came back with $800 offer which I accepted. I created a listing in NC marketplace and that was it. Funds have been cleared since and are still sitting in my NC account waiting for withdrawal.

Domain name: Uoii (dot) com
Sale Venue: GoDaddy Premium
Listing type: BIN
Listing upgrades: none
Sale price: $1199 (minus 20% commission)
Purchase price: $154.89 (purchase + transfers/renewals)
Details: It was listed in GD Premium for a while. As a curiosity, just a day before sale notification hit my email account, I upped the price from $999 to $1199. Lucky timing

Domain name: Cgaq (dot) com
Sale Venue: GoDaddy Premium (it sold via GD Auctions - courtesy of acquiring DDC membership)
Listing type: BIN

Sale price: $399 (minus 20% commission)
Purchase price: $50.10 (purchase + transfers/renewals)
Details: None

Domain name: Cqdg (dot) com
Sale Venue: GoDaddy Premium
Listing type: BIN
Listing upgrades: none
Sale price: $1995 (minus 20% commission)
Purchase price: $50.64 (purchase + transfers/renewals)
Details: I've had this domain for about 2 years. Within that time I rejected many low and decent offers, at least few of which I probably should've taken, but it's easy saying that with blessing of a hindsight. Nevertheless, on the very day of sale notification, an offer arrived at $1.2k via whois, stating reasons why they couldn't offer more. I replied saying that I was happy holding onto the domain for a while longer. Next offer arrived at $1.7k, which was decent enough, but I gave my (valid) reasons why I believed domain was worth the listed price and more. Not even 2 hours later, notification of sale hit my email account. Payment via PayPal is due in 2-3 days, but I included it here anyway as it's merely a formality.

Now just waiting for my brandables to wake up from (too long) non-selling slumber ...
