closed I've had an offer but what do I do now

[nparkin0]

Hi there,

Ok this may be a weird request.....I have just got a bid on Sedo for the minimum amount in £ for a domain I thought would never sell.

I have never advertised it on a forum, it was never parked at Sedo before and I do not think it is very valuable. The exact searches according to Google is 110 global. The PPC is rather high - around £5.00/$8.00 to get on first page of Adwords advertising.

I am reluctant to disclose the domain in a thread in case it jeapoardises the sale.

What I am asking is:
- Should I counter a higher offer running the risk of losing the sale (also anticipating it is either an end user or someone who will spend a lot more?
- Should I just put it in an auction?

I did something stupid in that I never even parked it at Sedo because I just forgot about it so I will be charged a £35 fee...so will only get £15 anyway if there is no other bids in an auction.

Regards,

Nick.

I believe you can have it up to a week with a standing offer before you accept or counter it so I would keep it 6 days and build some stats up for it if it has any traffic so you have a decent backbone to counter on it. Though, if you thought it never would sell at the minimum and finally received an offer and happy with it, then sell.

i would tell the seller to up his amount to at least cover the fee.

Yo want to clear at least £100 imho...........counter offer,they will probably expect it anyway !

If I counter offer do I go in high in the hope that they may meet somewhere in the middle or go in a little lower and perhaps be more likely to secure the sale?

Yes I realise I sound stupid asking these questions but i suppose I gotta ask

Counter offer min. $1000

If you selling domains for less than $1000 each on Sedo...stop doing this business now.

Why do you have to sell domains for $1000+ to be in the domain business?
