Selling in the Chatroom

[Iravan]

Hey

Ok I was in the chatroom and asked for some opinions on my domain names. 2 people negotiated with me, and i started sorta an auction between them, now I tried to put down a price that whoever replyed first, however one person won and the other complained, and i realised that this is not fair, so i kept pushing up the price between them and in the end they both withdrew their bids. I relaise that i shouldnt have been so greedy, but i didnt know how to fairly settle it while still makin a good profit

now my question is, what could i have done ot make it fair for both sides?

the domain I was selling was addictivepoker.com and yes its still available

anyway as always all opinions/suggestions welcomes

Just let them bid amongst themselves and when one of them can’t bid anymore, sell it to the other person.

Simple as that.

Don't sell domains in live chat??? That's my suggestion.

FOR SALE SECTION or
AUCTION SECTION

If anyone's interested, they will go bid. :gl:

IMO

Good luck.

I agree. That way you will keep situations like that from happening.

I recently had a sale going at NP "Domains For Sale", mentioned it in Chat, and one of the eventual buyers ended up coming from Chat to make a purchase. If a name comes up and there are parties there who are interested in buying it, you could sort of reverse what I did, and announce that you will open up an auction for the name and invite them to your NP Auction, which would give you a more formal and better way to control the auction, and also could bring in other potential buyers because of the increased exposure. I would just open up a new auction in the Marketplace, as has been suggested.
