offers Your advise please, should I accept the 5k counter offer?

[Domjet]

Hi,

I need your advise regarding my case.

I have one of my domains listed on Sedo long time ago. Few years ago I have set my desired price to 1,999$. After that I have received many low $xxx offers outside Sedo, I had forgot to adjust my desired price since that time. Few weeks ago I have missed an offer of 1,999$, but fortunately the buyer sent it again after the 7 days ended.

I have noticed the second offer and found that a Sedo agent has sent me an email on the same day of the first offer saying that a potential buyer has offered 19,999$ for my domain. It seems a mistake in the email that he added addition 9 to the 1,999$ that the buyer has offered, however I removed my desired price and replied to him that I am sorry for the late response and I am OK with the 19,999$, but he didn't reply to my email so I just waited for the second offer to end and sent a counter offer of 19,999, the buyer didn't respond to the offer until it ended, I then send a new offer 14,999 saying that my price is negotiable.

Finally and immediately after I sent the offer the buyer responded with 5k saying that it is his final offer. Now it is almost 4 weeks since the first offer and 4 days since the final offer, I have tried to contact many expected buyers and get the domain appraisal value.


Kindly advice whether I should accept the offer now, wait for the last day hoping that he or other buyer will send a higher offer, or push the domain to the auction for another 7 days.

$5k is plenty for that domain. Queenbe could be misconstrued to be pronounced as queen beh. Which sounds terrible. Also forever this domain and queenbee will be confused with each other with people mostly landing on the bee version because queen bee is the proper and typical phrase for those two words next to each other.

Anyway, $5k is good.

Well you missed out on the 20k which would have been real if you closed the deal then. The guy got wind in meantime perhaps ended up asking friends for advice because you gave him time to talk research etc. They may have found you actually had it 2k. You countered at 15k you should have only clarified he received your 20k offer rather than dropping 25% of your price without reason and your going to be even more negotiable. You turned your domain customer into a domain shopper you have option of taking the 5k which is 2x more than your asking price as you ignored the 20k now with 5k on table and firm I will say he will pull out over another counter so you need to take this 5k or he will walk. This could have gone up even and not down for you if you chose a different path of negotiation.

I'm the owner of QueenBee dotcom and I received your marketing email yesterday.
Congrats on the $5k offer.
I can share the highest offer for QueenBee was $65k, and I would say $5k for QueenBe is a good offer unless the buyer has some better thoughts about branding their services.

Good luck with your sale.

if the broker told you they have a $19.999 USD offer
they mean it

you spoiled it

must be worth
at least 50K

The broker told me by email, but he did not get back again

No I did not missed it out, as the 19,999$ was not a binding offer it was only email from a sedo agent and he did not reply back when I agreed

Glad you have finalized the deal. Next time, try and be more specific with your pricing and tell the potential buyer exactly what you want. Good luck!

What you should do if you were me, I have received an offer of 20k by mail and a binding offer of 2k by sedo?

No , after I read your posts here, I tried to close the deal before the buyer changes his mind

I will accept the email offer first and wait for few days. If nothing happens, I will quickly run back and accept the 2k Sedo offer

That is what I have done, I have sent a reply to the broker that I am OK with the 20k and waited for a week, but instead of accepting the 2K offer, I have sent the same 20k again to the buyer, and when he ignores my offer I sent to him 15K and told him my offer is negotiable, and the final result was 5k instead of 2k.

 

[Josytal]

accept the 5k offer.
