I've bought at least 10 domains from them, no problems, but also no substantial discounts... even when buying domains at the same time. But I believe some of their prices are reasonable, but keep an eye on the domain for awhile before making contact or asking for price/discounts. Why? Because they update their prices often, sometimes lower or higher. If I find a domain I want from them, I usually check to see if they have it listed on Afternic. Sometimes, even if their own site has no price listed or "request price", they may have the price on Afternic. Then add the domain to your Afternic watch list and you'll get an email every time they update prices, and if you see a price you want, then jump on it. The few times I have requested price from their site, I bought it cheaper on Afternic. And other times when I've asked for a discount on a $20K domain, they bumped up the price to $50K, then down to $30K, now back to $20k, so now I'm waiting for it to drop a bit more to around $10-$15K. It's got few type-ins but the brandability is what I'm after.

So bottom line: check afternic for your domain, watchlist it and then buy it if it hits your target price. But honestly, IMHO, if they've got it priced at $5K+, it's not going down to $1,000 anytime soon.

either way, good luck.
