Domains: Some people make no sense!!! - GoFuckYourself.com

DateDoc · 06-16-2008, 10:32 AM

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.

Some people are just retarded

Eriic · 06-16-2008, 11:23 AM

I'll take your offer

DirtyProfits · 06-16-2008, 11:23 AM

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

The Duck · 06-16-2008, 11:24 AM

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

MetaMan · 06-16-2008, 11:25 AM

so why dont you just purchase it via sedo?

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

Brujah · 06-16-2008, 11:29 AM

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.

Brujah · 06-16-2008, 11:50 AM

That should have been, *SEDO allows ...

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.

d-null · 06-16-2008, 07:33 PM

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

fatfoo · 06-16-2008, 07:36 PM

he wants to sell it at $500, not at $1000

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 06-16-2008, 07:42 PM

So go buy it playah!

still waiting for an answer through SEDO

Ron Bennett · 06-16-2008, 07:51 PM

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.

Ron

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 use escrow.com for all domains over $500 unless they are bought through SEDO

hahahh I had the exact same experience. I offered a guy 7K for a domain like....2 years ago. 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.

LOL

potter · 06-16-2008, 09:13 PM

that's just stupid

The Dawg · 06-16-2008, 09:51 PM

Whats worst is when they decline your offers then they let the domain drop.

GAMEFINEST · 06-16-2008, 09:54 PM

500.00 might be the minimum bid...that he is accepting..

GAMEFINEST · 06-16-2008, 09:58 PM

i just reg 3 domains that i am shocked ..noone took it ...hard work pays off ..

avalanche · 06-16-2008, 10:06 PM

Same thing happened to me a few years ago regarding a very nice mortgage domain. 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.
