Wow! I finally got an offer..what now?!

[domainic]

I got an offer for $1049 for ChristmasGiftsfor.com.

I have it parked on Fabulous, so the offer came through there.

I seem to lose customers when I counter the offer. Should I counter? How much?
Thanks

I would take the offer - I doubt you will ever get more...IMHO

That is a great offer for that name.

I am not familiar with the process on Fab. with offers, but I personally would accept that offer without hesitation.

I agree, if you counter offer on this one...and buyer backs out...you're sitting with a reg fee name.

I would gladly take the money.

Also, I have been closing a lot more sales lately by assessing what I actually want for the name as opposed to what I may be able to get.

In many cases I get a great 1st offer on a name and then start to think...well it is a 1st offer and just a starting point....even if the offer has exceeded my initial expectations....I then counter with 3-5x the initial offer...

one out of 50 accept the offer I initially send back.
About 50% counter a little over their initial offer.
the rest pretty much go away.


More than ever now, when I get a fair initial offer, I will just accept it...likewise when I get an bad lowball offer - I do not bother with it at all.

Take the money and reinvest about 33%. Put the other 33% in the bank and have fun with the last 33%.

Strange number to be offered. Someone's getting a commission for aquiring it perhaps? Leads me to wonder if there is a better number they would go. I also am not familiar with fabulous' system. If it were at sedo, I'd start an auction with it. Otherwise, I'd probably take the money.

I agree with all those who say take the offer. I don't see that it's too likely that you're going to get another one.

 

[DomainName]

Agreed. Take the offer and run!

 

[ARMG]

Agreed. Take the offer and run!

Take the offer and run even faster than DomainName mentioned!!!

 

[jasdon11]

Agreed. Take the offer and run!

And don't even look round.....that's $1042 more than it's worth IMO.

 

[Rockefeller]

Yes, take it with no counter!!!!

PERFECT SUGGESTION & NICE ADVICE. Cheers...

See if they want to buy ChristmasGiftsForDomainc.com also.

Take the offer and don't look back.

Thank you all of you. Great feedback and much appreciated. I did a count..there's one reply for counter, two with a swing vote, and 12 for take the offer. Majority rules. I will take the offer. I'll let you know how it works out. Thank you again!
