What To Do...What To Do...

[CrazyTech]

Alright guys, I'm going to call on what makes Namepros the best - friendly people who can help out a guy who doesn't have a clue. :lol:

The situation is this...

I have a domain (mobilemedia.biz) that is a fairly prime domain with an extension that isn't the greatest. There are 81 million results on Google for the term and it gets a few uniques as a .biz.

My problem is that I just purchased a Sedo premium listing and it's gotten 21 unique listing views in the first 36 hours of going live - not to mention 11 views previously after being online for a couple weeks.

I put the domain up in an older sale I had forgotten about (prior to the listing) and I bumped it up today. Well I just got an offer for the domain on another forum for $200. For me that's a tempting offer but I had it marked as $300 so I'm not obligated to accept it.

I don't want to get greedy here and get nothing because of it, but at the same time I feel the domain is gaining interest and is worth more than $200. However, on the flip side, $200 is a pretty good offer for a .biz name. What would you guys do in this situation? I'm thinking about countering $300 firm but what if he takes it - is the domain worth more or should I go home with $200. I've got three choices as I see it - accept the offer, try to go for $300 (which I still feel is a little low), or deny the offer and take it down. Thoughts and insight is appreciated.

Geesh, tell the guy to bugger off with his lousy $200. Ask him to pay $300.

Denver, this domain caught my eye when you listed it for sale here. It's one of those domains that many of us would snap up if it was dropping, so I say it's worth sticking firm to your original $300 asking price. That's not an outrageous price to begin with.

Good luck. :tu:

I agree here. Maybe even strike with a $400 if you want, well worth $300-$400 ballpark.

I'd counter with $500. He may accept or counter offer at or more than your $300. Sounds like you aren't desperate to sell right now and have invested $39 in the sedo listing meaning you only clear $150 or so after reg fee. However, you do clear even less if you sell on sedo based on their closing fee.

Best of luck.

The mobile media industry is fanning like hot coals now and just accelerating in leaps and bounds. The term is one of the few which is highly appropriate for the .BIZ extension. I would say sell at $2k min, you guys don't know gold even it dropped from your teeth.

You guys are right - thanks for the input it's certainly appreciated! I decided to hold on to the domain after doing some research and getting some educated opinions. I feel that the domain has strong value now and even more on down the road.

Before accepting any offers, gather your facts and make them known to potential buyers:

1. Are all common extensions taken?
2. Are other taken extension just parked, or developed?
3. How many Google pages use the term? In parentheses?, with the extension?
4. Are there any incoming links? Was the domain registered before (check archive.org for old pages)
5. What is the availability of alternatives to your domain?
6. does it have a pagerank?
7. Does you domain have traffic?
8. Have you made any PPC income? Is there potential?
9. Is the theme of the domain hot, will it stay that way? get hotter? maybe cool off?
10. How rich is the industry who is the potential customer?
11. Is the domain usable locally nationwide, worldwide? What is the potential customer base?
12. Can you afford renewals if it doesn't sell quickly. Can PPC pay for ongoing costs?

Your domain is a steal @ $300.

And don't forget, most (if not all) offers you get from other domainers will be at wholesale prices So you're usually selling at a discount if the name is even quasi-quality.
