discuss Think It Will Sell?

[Silentptnr]

I've read posts about how long a sale takes and I thought I would share a quick funny story that is still active.

January 9, 2020: Contact from GoDaddy Broker


I set the price mid $x,xxx, received no response....until (I assume) the same buyer emailed me directly through privacy...

February 5. 2020: Direct email from buyer


and this is how the conversation went:


Notice that the buyer has opened the emails twice since we finished our conversation.

Most recently yesterday.

All domainers should track their emails. It's free to do and very valuable.

Think it will sell?

> on the domain market xxx.com are offered between 10 - 50

someone found the WTB section on namepros

First thing, you filtered the namebio search to only show LLN sold over 4k, 109 from a total of 1393.
Second thing, if you didn't get consent from the recipient to track his email you broke the EU GDPR.

No, it will not sell. What goes around comes around!

are you the buyer?

Of course he is going to filter the search, he is trying to sell a name that he has priced - why would you show cheaper names?

Get off your sanctimonious high horse.......

His budget is $50. He probably bought z0o.horse

Not sure about gdpr but I tracked my email, not his/hers.

Directing a buyer to a desired range seems okay.

I was polite in suggesting he make an offer. He immediately says, "On domain market yada yada". He was rude imo.

All 4 door cars aren't the same. All 3 bedroom homes aren't the same. You feel me?

Thanks for sharing, it's unlikely. Buyers that are serious move quickly and don't take chances like this.

The "humane and ethically affordable" comment would have yielded zero further responses.

That is a complete deal breaker.

I am 100% sure it will sell if you price it between $10 and $50.

 

[frank-germany]

1) it might be a trick
then he comes back


2) it's not a trick then he won't come back


3) the fact that he opens the email, unfortunately, doesn't tell you anything

4) the short cut is
make him a reasonable offer asap
like $2.888 USD

Sometimes what some people rush to judge as a rude response is actually just a bad Google Translate translation and/or the result of a minimal amount of English language classes. Combine that with someone who genuinely doesn't know the value of domains and it's not surprising to see responses like that from time to time. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

I requested removal of the images in the original post because I mistakingly posted them with email addresses.

Here's the post fresh with emails removed:

I just love the "XXX.com domains go for $30-$50". In what world?

 

[Silentptnr]

off topic question a bit here. what do you guys use to track when people open emails again? I thought this was obsolete now since most email services block the auto opening of images which I'm guessing is how these emails get tracked?

I use mailtrack. It's a free gmail tracker. Interestingly, they use the domain name mailtrack.io.

It's hard to say. My first end user sale came after months. We couldn't come to an agreement, then randomly 3 months later he messaged me again. Just wait. If the buyer really does want it they will come back.

Well I think that same rude buyer is here in the thread above... they can only get triggered and aggressive/abusive when things don't go the way they like...If I were you, I would keep the price as is and have patience as a better buyer will surely come in the future.

Sometimes as much as someone wants a domain, no matter how bad, they just don’t have the financing to do it.

A payment plan might be a good way for them to get their foot in the door.

 

[Silentptnr]

I can't believe the guy says "For our crowdfunding site".

He want's to take money from donations made to others and I'm unethical???

People are crazy!

I'll tell you this much. I don't open old emails from a month ago usually. Not those kind at least.

"Humane and ethically affordable price" .
I think they will come back.

I’ve set prices at Afternic after receiving a price request and had them sell weeks, months or even up to a year later. I haven’t bothered to look into whether it’s the same inquirer who buys.

 

[The Durfer]

what for a better buyer. You dont have to sell it.

 

[lock]

I would be saying when your crowd funded page makes the amount you've got a deal look forward from hearing from you before the next quarter price rise.

 

[cooljub]

True, but on the other hand, the big G's literal translation of "a humane and ethically affordable price" might be exactly what someone is trying to say

If buyers has proper budget and really want to get it , buyers would come to make serious transaction.
