    Domains: Some people make no sense!!!

    I sent an email to the owner of a parked domain asking if he wanted to sell it for $1,000. He wrote me back and asked $4500. That I can understand, it is part of negotiation. We didn't reach a compromise though, which is also fine.

    Today, I see the domain for sale on sedo for $500. Half what I offered. Makes no sense.

              Send him another email and ask if he'd be willing to sell it for $500

                  Its great how you offer 100 dollars for a so-so good domain and they reply back they want 10 000.

                      so why dont you just purchase it via sedo?

                      when was the domain on sedo listed?
                      could have been a long time ago.

                          Seo allows the buyer to accept less as a reserve price, and take his chances by sending it to auction hoping that hey'll get what he originally wanted. Make a $500 offer through Sedo, you might get lucky.

                                  i did make an offer thru Sedo. No answer yet though. I'm thinking maybe he meant to put it up for $5000 not $500.

                                      it doesn't make much sense

                                      some people are so unrealistic, another peeve is when guys register a name and list it for $1000 the next day, someone had a whole page of less than month old domains for sale on here the other day and he was asking 200 to 1000 each for them

                                                          Probably a typo, but also just as likely it's an old Sedo listing that he forgot about ... or perhaps doesn't even know of if it was posted by a previous owner assuming he acquired the domain since then.

                                                          With all that said, you offered $1K and were willing to go higher and that he's asking $4500 and was willing to negotiate ... I'd say $2500 or so would likely get the deal done. Am I close to the actual negotiated price that he / you didn't accept?

                                                          Hope it works out for you.

                                                          p.s. Sedo offers, for all practical purposes, are not binding, since Sedo doesn't enforce agreement of sale. It's best to deal direct whenever you can - using escrow.com greatly helps - protects the parties to some degree, and also adds some structure to the sale, which can help greatly, especially when dealing with an inexperienced party.

I would have honesty paid about 5K (but it's the negotiations like you said) It was a dead domain but still had an assload of backlinks etc. Fuckin moron declines.

                                                                      I checked in on the site now and again... and saw him put up a pathetic attempt at a site and then he claimed to be selling $1000 in Advertising. Best guess on Traffic/Alexa was less than 2000 Visitors - PER MONTH (and that was probably leftover type-ins).... so... the whole thing was a total fuckin joke.


                                                                      About a year later... the domain went to auction and he hit me up about it so I could fuckin Bid.

                                                                      It didn't sell at auction.... he then put up a notice.... For sale: $500.

We needed the domain as it was actually our company name....I emailed the owner offering $2500 for it, he came back with $10k, to which I responded $5k and he said $10k was the lowest he would go. I then found it on BigDomains in an old listing for $1500 and bought it immediately. I sent him an email afterward thanking him for the deal. He was pissed.
