Please justify your offer price
Yeah - when you made your low offer - did you send justification for it?
People don't have to justify anything other than one pays the asking price or go cry in a beer somewhere, as I find it poor business that sedo even has that choice available - giving people ideas about wasting the time of the seller, when if the seller wanted to 'Justify' their price, there is a Whole Comment Box for that. If there is no Description filled-out to the Classified Ad (which is all sedo is as a service), then those who want to learn more can go join DNForum or the likes in order to understand the basics of the business they are trying to work in. Without making it a drop-down selection on sedo - the 'buyer' can still just write-out that question in the open-text box that sedo staff review, or any other questions for that matter.
At a minimum, sedo should allow sellers to de-select this choice from the ads placed on their domains to the public, so one as a seller wouldn't have to have their time further wasted.
Here is a C&P from my standard response if I feel like making any reply at all:
Thanks for the question, itâs not always easy to answer sometimes, but here goesâ¦
Anchored in the global free market economic laws of supply and demand, I am only duly motivated to sell this timeless, 1-of-a-kind in the World product for what I deem worthy of it's value (monetary, intrinsic and otherwise), whereby if someone is not able to purchase this domain at the current, limited time offered price, I wish them the best to secure a name within their affordability while this premium domain name brand remains on the open market and continues to rapidly appreciate. Elsewise, if you wish to buy this domain now and give yourself a captivating online presence, I thank you and look forward to you securing this name at this low price and doing business with you in the near future. (-:
After years upon years of being on sedo, I find the above response garners me more sales than I would otherwise get if I were to just ignore such a question all together (which I have done alot of as well).
Even in the early years when I would ustify my asking price with metrics and whatever, it still was mostly low-ballers whom would play 'ignorant' and keep low-balling - only to be a waste of time vs. sales/domain admin/developing/life etc - you know, all more important things to do than reply to said question.
That's just me thou, and some others I know, but I'm sure others have a totally different perspective on encountering this scenario on sedo.
Sometimes there is no other justification of the price other than to say: That's the price - take it or leave it.
Best of Luck & Succes in All Your Endeavours!
