discuss Think It Will Sell?

[DaveX]

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?

I personally wouldn't read too much into how often an email is opened, sometimes people just want to keep reminding themselves how disappointed they are with a response. Or alternatively seeing if there is any other counter response they can give to crack-this-nut (You).

Obviously they want the domain but when price is really that far apart and there is No movement towards your asking price, only a lot of chat, then you can take it, your asking price is well outside his/her budget.

I'd expect to receive something like - "I'm making a very generous final offer of $200" or something similar. And that will be the end of the story

I see the value of knowing the other party has opened your email just for that, to know that the email has reached the target.
But nothing more than that. I totally agree with the following quote:

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.

Clearly, he's a professional panhandler. He should consider crowdfunding the domain name he wants to use for crowdfunding.

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 will reply to him: Please put on your poor clothes (worth $ 50).

I also track the emails I send. There been cases where the folks opened my mail 20-30+ times but never came back with even a response. So, it's hard to tell. Usually, people who end up purchasing are the ones to shoot back with "we are interested, how much?", "how much?" or "but we can offer only $xxxx".

Anything below the $xxx quote is spam. A 3 figure offer may be a negotiation strategy, but there is no doubt that $xx offers no transaction.
