A Bit of Advice for Buyers (Post Your Budget!)

**acesfull** · 10-03-2006, 10:51 PM

If you are posting a Domain-Wanted ad, and you give no budget, I take that as you're either looking for marginal domains, or you're looking for that once-in-a-lifetime steal.

If you say something like "Budget up to $750," that's good. But, I'm not about to submit a $5K to $100K domain to someone who's budget "depends on the quality of the domain," or no budget is given.

If you really want to buy a quality domain, you should say something like, "Budget up to $10K for the right domain," or you likely won't be taken seriously, and deluged with domains like this1reallysucks4u.ws.

Also, it doesn't help to over-hype your domain, by saying something like "premium" or "great" domain. That won't change how much it sucks.

More advice: do not ask "PM only" for example I even don't bother look into my portfolio if is it "PM only".

Why? The transaction is between you and the buyer, not everyone else.
Some people may not like it google indexed how much they buy and sell their names for, thats silly advice IMO.

Please, let's not label anyone's opinions or advice as "silly".

As each member is "entitled" to their own opinions and ways of doing business here.

Thanks

Hogwash. Lots of sellers does not mind to post the name, so buyer should give option - post it here, PM or email. And if buyer minds - someone post the domain and later he buys it silently and nobody knows he bought it.

I will not spend time with sending PMfor the tiny chance buyer will buy, but I might post the domain in thread which is read by hundreds of people and someone else might buy. Thats imho the main reason they want PM only - if by any chance some "steal offer" comes, nobody can offer more. I see so many threads "I want to buy" a lot of people sending PMs and buyer buys nothing...
