Hello ppl,

Recently I bought this expired domain name: www.portaustinlevel.com Port Austin Level is a manufactoring company from the states. Today I have got en email from this guys, they want to buy the domain again.

The question is, how much should I sell this domain??

$1000 You can ask for $2000 but it you play hardball too much they may get pissed and decide to take you to court over it.There is a good chance that they have claims to the name anyway but are deciding to go through the easiest route first and Just buy it off you.
To take it to arbitration will cost them about $1500 plus solicitor fees.

As far as I know most registrars won't transfer a domain until it's been 60 days since the reg date. Most likely it's the previous owner that wants it back. Especially since it's a name of a company.

Thanx guys,

I think I'll ask them to make me an offer.

this is probably going to be an unpopular answer to your question, but if it were me, I'd ask them to give me a modest profit and let them decide on the amount..

use it to feed your karma
