A well known brokerage reached out to me a few years ago about a buyer they had who wanted one word dot coms. They had Stuffed.com on their list and approached me with a $30,000 offer. I thought it was worth more at the time so we ultimately did not close the deal. I wouldn't say that I regret that decision, but if I had the same offer today then I would accept it. I turned down a separate $10,000 offer for it this year. It remains one of the highest traffic and revenue names in my portfolio.
During the same discussion the same brokerage asked me about any other one word dot coms I had. I told them about Squats.com and they offered me $20,000 for it, but I declined that as well. Just in the last month I have declined a $15,000 offer and a $10,000 offer for that name from different prospects. I think $20,000 is a bare minimum for it yet I think it is worth even more than that. No regrets there.
I have another eight letter dot com that I turned down a $25,000 offer on. I still own it and I think it is worth much more. It is in a far more stable (and growing) niche than crypto so when I see BitcoinWallet.com sell for $250,000 I don't see why this particular name would not be in a similar range. There is some regret here, but I was hoping to get this prospect a little higher.
I have recently rejected a $15,000 offer on a six letter .org name that I think is worth $25,000 at a minimum.
I have recently rejected a separate $15,000 offer on a different five letter .org name that I think is worth more than $25,000 yet this particular name is one that I am not inclined to sell at all.
Finally, I had a $10,000 offer from a large company for a name that I think has the potential to close with an extra digit. This company claimed that they would not be able to get support in their budget for any more than their $10,000 offer, but I am comfortable holding out for a competitor to come along. I'd love to close now, but I would prefer to hang on and see this one fulfill its potential.
Despite all of this and my successful sales, I always have the lingering feeling that I should be doing better than I am.
