What to do if desired end user isn't responding

[W1ZZ]

I recently regged an expired domain simply on the fact that another person had registered ALL top extensions. I regged the .COM, and he has the .net, .org, .biz, and more. The .COM must not have been his because he recently renewed all of the domains for a year or more (in 2013, he renewed for 2014.)

So my question is simple: How do I get a hold of him? I'm almost positive he would want the .COM. He hasn't responded to my single email I shot to him. Should I be persistent or just let him come if he's interested? Has anyone been successful with being persistent? What should I do!?

Thanks,
W1ZZ

It's entirely up to you, but if all your attempts have fallen on deaf ears, I'd stop pestering him and wait for him to come to you.

Just move on. If they want it bad enough they will find you.

He could be somebody and there are plenty of them, that will never pay another domain investor anything for a name.

You are the one that regged a name only because of him and for that Verisign thanks you. Because you will either continue to renew a domain that has no value to you except in hoping that someone who owns other extensions will buy.

You may get lucky, but if he cares he should have been looking at expiration dates and then seeing your emails he knows someone else has it now. If he wanted it more than likely he would have replied back.

You also want to make sure he has no intellectual property rights in the name as a constant barrage of emails could be seen as bad faith by a panel of 1.

When you say you regged an expired domain, did you mean you actually picked it up from the drop pool? Or did you backorder it? Won it in an auction?

I would wonder why millions of domainers who are scanning the expired domains list every day, have decided to pass on this .COM and you got it just for reg fee.

Is the domain otherwise valuable ? Because if there is only ONE end user for that domain name, it could be worthless if that end user is not even interested.

It's a brandable domain name--and no TMs or anything linked to it. And I liked the name, even before I saw he ate the rest up. I would say extremely limited market though. But for less than 10 bucks.. what the hell right guys? I'm sure we've all done it.

You didn't mention whether this guy is using the domains for any legit end-user sites?

all undeveloped as of now, but it looks like he runs pretty interesting entities that I've seen. :o

Easy...if he has all the domains and they are not developed he is more then likley a domainer like you. Dont ever "force" people to buy your domain because you are in love with it so much. If after an email or 2 there is no response then move on. This seems to me that the domain game is not your cup of tea.

It is ok. I never said anything about me having great domains for end users....you did :]

Perhaps your emails went into his spam folder. People are real curious about how much you value something they lost or dumped. Usually people will reply in these cases, even if they dont want it for free. But if there a domainer that's a different story.or If you list a price then you can easily get the #$%^ you email ignore..

Perhaps this is why you got the domain. He had it and dropped it first. Now he drops off the planet, the rest dropping later.

His email you have now a free email like gmail or a one based on a domain he owns? This can give another clue to some resent activity and experience.

Perhaps he doesn't need the domain at the moment and is domainer savvy and figures to let you stew on the domain and pay a renewal on it before he talks to you about it.

Was there a telephone number?

Desperation though means an $xx offer for the domain.

Best to let him find you.

Goodluck

I believe what he owns is the plural version. lol

:talk:

why do noobs think every email they send, is going to an end-user?


they are finding people who already own domains and are spamming them based on the email associated with those names they found thru whois or a bot tool.


so wouldn't it be logical to assume the person they are spamming is another domainer?


but then how many noobs come in this biz thinking logically?

it's way past ridiculous now


imo.....

 

[SimpleDomaining]

so odd.. why would domainer drop the .com and renew the rest? you sure its not a blacklisted domain? something seems wrong here, all extensions are renewed, the .com dropps, nobody sees it to backorder and you end up with hand registering it....

 

[mikelreal]

Why cant you just list the domain and lets see??
