FYI:NameMedia Says They Are In A Domain Buying Mood

Why is it that the small players get NO respect from the big players?

They have NO problem shelling out xx,xxx for xyz.com on a drop, but if we were to offer them xyz.com, the offers would be in the xx range.

I know you all were saying they were paying just chump change, and since I already have an offer on the table for a bunch of my domains, I thought it wouldn't hurt to just see what they would offer.

But holy cow... offering a few dollars over reg fee for several domains that have solid traffic. All the domains they expressed interest in (cherry-picked) they offered an amount laughably low. On one of the domains that they expressed interest in, they offered the same amount that I earn on that same domain at Parked.com every 5-6 days. So within a month, I earn with that domain 6 times what they were offering... CRAZY

Does ANYONE actually sell to them when they offer such low bids?

I do have to say they were very professional and kept me apprised of the process and where my domain portfolio was in the process of their evaluation, so I do appreciate their prompt communication.
