Great for the beef export we are trying to get.

if you are trying to get into Beef Export - you may use the domain as well.
 
you might get more if you are willing to barter for steaks! why not? :)
 
The offer was 240 euro. But I countered at 750 euro.
 
maybe I should of asked before I countered? I guess I will find out. Thanks
 
this brings up an interesting question. is it not standard for a buyer to come in with a low initial offer, that is, lower than they are prepared to go?

todd, i would expect you were thinking they would come back somewhere in between their initial offer and your counter offer?

so dcg, do you think it is unwise to negotiate on the initial offer and just take the $$? so how do you know when you can get more, and when you could lose a potential buyer by countering higher?
 
If a name has no revenue and no potential revenue and the offer comes in at a 250 year multiple, let it go.

If however I have time to develop it, I may keep it.

I don't think this is the second case.

Homer that was my thinking..I thought I will get another offer.Last time I accepted the first offer and was told never to take first offer always counter.Todd
 
i agree, let it go. however, people always say that a domain is worth only what a buyer is willing to pay for it. that said, i see a buyer come in with an initial offer of say 250, and i think that naturally that is on the low end of what they are willing to pay. therefore the domain is actually worth a bit more to them. i mean, if the max they would pay was 250, i would expect the initial offer to be lower, perhaps $100 range.

i bring this up because i recently was offered $100 for a .com. the potential buyer informs me that he has just registered the .net and .org version, so i'm thinking, thanks for the bargaining chips pal! So i countered with a higher offer, and since have not heard back.

the point was raised in an article i recently read (linked to from somewhere here at dnf) that psychologically the problem is that the buyer does not know how low the seller is willing to settle for, and conversely the seller does not know how high the buyer is willing to pay, and more often than not, the final sale price is not as high as the buyer would have paid (nor as low as the seller would have sold)
 
Price seems about right. $750 euros seems a bit high. I will guess that if you do get a response from him again, it will be a counter offer of 350 euros. Im not quite sure, but I believe sedo allows you to lower your counter. However, your best bet would be to wait it out. You live and learn.
 
I got an offer of $150.00 for one of my domains.
-- I said no, they come back with a $300.00 offer now.

So, it is good to counter and if they come back saying they can't pay more, you may take it.
 
Thanks poulos thats what I'm trying to do. I'm just trying to get MORE. Sedo says right with the offer normally the bid is lower then what someone will pay. Then they want you to buy an appraisal.I will skip the appraisal and ask more. Thanks
 
I just wanted to finish out this post.... they offered 240 euro I countered at 750 euro and we settled with 500 euro. So it did pay off.Thanks for all who posted.Todd
