My advice, for what it is worth:

As others have said, look into the company and see what kind of revenue they have. If it is a huge company, paying you a decent amount might not be that big of a deal. If they are a smaller company, it will be a bigger deal.

I would ask them for an offer. Just say to them something like, "I hadn't really thought much about selling the domain, but I would be open to considering it. What would you consider a fair price?" You can tell a lot by this offer. If they say $150 and you come back with $100K they might just walk away and buy a different, similar domain. If they say $10K and you say $25K you could be in situation where you could come to a good deal.

If the domain is really similar to a product they have trademarked you also don't want to go so high that they might just say fuck it and try to take the domain. You could fight it, but then you are spending money instead of making it.

Don't let greed stand in the way of making a good deal. If you really don't care whether you sell the domain or not then you might as well swing for the fences, but if you are serious about selling it, be realistic and be reasonable.

i have found most companies would buy up all the .net .org etc.. domains then go after the ones others have

research what its worth and then research the company. get it all in writing and don't expect $100k for a domain if it's worth 5k.

So what happened?

Fat Panda 05-13-2013 08:57 PM

ya wtf happened?

bean-aid 05-13-2013 11:06 PM

Ask for 1 milluon. ;)

seoxpertz 05-13-2013 11:39 PM

Go retard and ask them a 100k. You might get lucky! And if they negotiate and bargain, it will still be a win win situation for you.

Did you handle it poorly or did they low ball you at $70. There are plenty of domainers that are offering to buy premium name domains at low ball prices my guess is the inquiry faded away like the thread.

Their offer was too low.

I asked for 80k and their counter offer was 10k, non-negotiable.

I declined.

Did you just not want to sell? Thought you said it was worth only $5k - why not accept and turn that money over into more money?

Fat Panda 05-14-2013 08:11 AM

Some shit don't add up with this guy

Odds are you won't ever see an offer near that again. Sounds to me like they will come after it via legal means. Looks like you just cost yourself $10k+ attorney fees + time. Good luck.

Yep, greed cost him a chance to move the domain and now will bite him.

helterskelter808 05-14-2013 10:31 AM

This thread is pure bullshit, or at least the part about asking for $80k and being offered $10k, which is why he never updated it till 'forced to' by the bumps.

Someone offers twice what something is worth and you turn 'em down? I think not.
