Hi, how are you doing? I'm new here (actually had an old account that got deleted) and I wanted to get your advise on something. I have a domain (conoma.com) registered under GoDaddy.com (I know, I know...) and I was contacted by them because they had an interested party. At first they mentioned they thought that they could get $1000-3500 but then said that "after a lot of back and forth" they could only offer $1000. What do you think? Is that a fair offer? Thanks in advance

Hi, brott

Have you checked recent sales of similar six-letter brandables for comparison?

Hi @nicenic thanks for your reply I tried but I couldn't find one. Do you have a link that you could share by any chance? sorry I'm not in this business, I just registered that domain a long time ago and never ended up using it. Thanks!

I'm not an expert, but I still think you could get WAY more than $1000 for this domain. When I say "way more" I mean upwards of $10-20k more...

But you said that you know what the deal with GoDaddy is, so don't act surprised that they're only offering you $1000, I am almost willing to bet that they offer you this money because they already have someone lined up to buy this for at least 4-5x more. After all, it IS GoDaddy, the biggest crooks in this industry

But, if you do need the money, sell it now that you have the chance. Domaining is a risky (and long-term) business, most of the time you sit on quality domains for a decade or more before they sell if you price them too high, so IMO it's best to just drop the price to sensible amounts and make a profit instead of sitting on domains for decades like domain hoarders do.

Thanks a lot @monere ! I really appreciate it Yeah, as you mention it's very possible that they are planning on making a huge profit on it haha I told them that I was expecting 3K and that their offer is too low, we'll see what they have to say, thanks a lot for chiming in!

I love it! Good for you, you gotta stay firm and know your value with these crooks, otherwise they'll have no moral compass and will rip you off

thanks a lot for chiming in!

No problem, man! Good luck selling the domain

You can use any appraisal platform to get an initial idea about the range of the valuation of your domain, you have Domsight, Atom, Dyndot etc..
