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?

 

[DaveX]

are you the buyer?

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.

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

 

[Wesley S]

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

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.

@Silentptnr Keep it as it is. I see this happen many times, he or she will probably be back

 

[Ategy]

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 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.

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

 

[Pay.My.id]

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

I hope you get a humane and ethically priced offer.

@Silentptnr posting emails with full email and name is a huge no, no. In all levels. Communication should be confidential in 99.99% of cases, and at least you should've blacked out his name /email.

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

I'm 200% sure it will "sell" if he gives the buyer the name and $50.

Never know if he comes back or not but its obvious that this is not a good name so it has a lot of limitations. I.e., no $million business.

Requested removal. You're right.

And to think, our president publically gave out someone's cellphone number on tv.

Domain buyer are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. I think you should just give him your final price and seat back. If he's serious he'll come for it.

that fits....

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

Thanks for the advice. Not sure why I didn't think of that before. I track emails in all my non domain related marketing.

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:
