To Take, Or Not To Take - That Is The Question.

[Flubber]

Howdy,

Woke up this morning to find a email from Sedo in my inbox, an offer on one of my domains parked there.

The domain is a 2 word related to Global Warming, and the same 2 words are advertised on UK tv, radio, papers; everywhere. (As .Gov.Uk (Maybe legal stuff?)). Now some of you may have guessed the domain, and if so please keep it under wraps for now

(However, if you are interested in what the domain is, and that it could help you decide whether i should take the offer or not; please pm.)

The domain isnt making that much, capping at about 20 Euros a month so the offer i received, $300, seems reasonable. But due to its mass advertising here in the UK, should i be expecting more?

Thanks for any advice,

Flubb

PS: If any of you happen to be the guy/gal that made the offer via Sedo, and you've realised im the seller, PM me please (Btw, this doesnt mean im not paying Sedo for brokerage)

20 euros a month...12 months= +$300 or close to? (dont know the conversion rate, I do know euros is more than $$$)

Either way, I say you should keep the domain. Just sit on it...its still gonna make you money, is $300 now or in 12 months really gonna make a difference? the answer is YES, if you keep the domain...in 12 months you'll have the $300 AND the domain.

Well, i was thinking of replying with a figure of around $1k and seeing what happens, but you are right about sitting on it, seems like a good idea.

However, $$$ would help me in a few ventures that im planning - And im sure i can get more than $400 at least for it. (If i negotiate well)

Im just hoping that if i do sit on it, i dont get a C&D and then rue my chance to sell it.

No no no no nooooo.

I know what domain it is and have seen the MASS advertising going on on the tele, radio newspapers the lot.

This domain is worth 3 times the offer you got in my opinion.

Just give it a little time and develop it, well i would with the amount of traffic it should be getting.

 

[MCDomains]

If it's making 20 Euros a month I wouldn't sell for $300 USD

 

[Flubber]

I think its agreed $300 is too little, but on the subject of advertising its not getting THAT many hits, Only in the region of 500 a month with a pretty poor click rate.

Should i counteract with $1k and see what happens? Higher, Lower?

Thanks for all your replies,

Flubb

...trying to think what it is.....mmmm.....

I'd goo 1200 ( a nice number)

If you get a no, their loss, i would develop it myself.

quote a price to include escrow to save an extra round of haggling using the 1200 figure as your benchmark.

 

[Flubber]

Ive countered with a Mid $1k figure and we'll see what happens, will take a few days though as its easter and i expect Sedo are going to be slow.

Shall keep you all informed

Best of luck, it's a damn good name i wish i had thought to register it when it was first coming out.

 

[matt_bodis]

Counter $700.

 

[dongan]

Keep it with you and wait for good offer... sell atleast t0 1.5 K

 

[OvenMitt]

$1,600
Mass advertised = good bleed traffic, and $20 a month in parking doesn't mean you couldn't do better somewhere else.

Flubber, I noticed a pair of matching names (singular/plural) in SEDO's sold section today.

They seem to fit the description you gave. Is that them? :sold:

 

[fonzie_007]

Counter $1,200.

 

[Flubber]

Howdy all,

Countered with $1.5k a few days back, with a comment trying to put my selling point across.

Just got an email from sedo, The guy/gal is offering $450 - saying they are limited on funds. I think its a ploy to get the price down.

Thinking of re-countering with a $1250'ish offer, any advise as to the figure and comment i am to enter?

Thanks a bunch

Flubb

 

[Morph]

1,250 is fair for the name in question , my advice is do not border the 1,000 mark whatsoever. The name will only get bigger.

Only counter $1250 if you are willing to sell for $900!
Otherwise, it won't make much of a difference.
Best of luck!

 

[Flubber]

Ive countered with $1,200, mentioning the $1000 mark - Hope i dont scare him/her off

Thanks for your help once again, Shall keep you all updated.
