Why do I always get a feeling tweets like that will get deleted?
Because they usually do
Why share something that makes you look bad?
I call BS
edit: Pay.com.au case
Reminds me of this
Seller agreed for lower price and increased it once he knew who the buyer was. B

I agree, and if it is legit (which I'm 50-50 on) he gave the buyer a 7-figure price to buy, then once they agreed to pay it, he refused to sell.
That's pretty low, even for 2025.
He even outlined the sales terms in a text session, which is why I'm not too sure this is legit.
Kill me now. 
Companies in AI space (or any space, but AI especially) don't win based on domains they run on, they win based on killer functionality and performance. ChatGPT and Perplexity are both terrible names, but they are driving the industry.
I don't believe this for a second.

Agree
Now that I think about it, there has been a rise in posts like these as of late, designed to stimulate PR, build cheap following and attract real offers. It's almost like a trend. LinkedIn, X — all turned into a landfill of spam posts.
Someone who has weight on X should ask him to tell the world who the buyer is, since he is already exposing this publicly anyway. And if I was a buyer, I'd be dragging him through public humiliation and a legal system. Since there has been zero reaction from the other side, it automatically qualifies this as a BS story. If anything, this guy just made himself look like an idiot.

ok.ai or hey.ai would probably be a good start phrase and worth a bit of money
That said go.ai is right up there in exclusivity

I mean he gave an asking price and then did not honour it. Doesn't matter who the buyer is for that.

smells like a PR stunt to me.
It is definitely a PR stunt, but there also might have been a real $1.4M offer on Go.ai. The domain is ultra-premium and .AI is still hot, so it's not like the domain is garbage.

I don’t know the circumstances but once you refuse an offer, the seller doesn’t have to honour that price afterwards if the buyer changes their mind (and decides they’re willing to accept).
Once you turn down an offer it’s no longer open to accept unless the seller wants to still honour the deal.
But if the domain had a buy now lander and the price was still listed at buy now of 1.4m, then become much harder to argue for the seller.
I know the price changed, but I don’t know what the price showing was when they came back to accept it, or if there was even a buy now option.
The deal needs to be made on the spot. You can’t decline and come back later with your tail between your legs and expect the exact same deal. It’s actual law that you lose the right to accept an offer at a certain price once you decline it.

August 9th is when archive.org has stored the asking price of $7 Million USD for the first time. Before that (Jul 8) it appears that there was no asking price listed.

Thanks for that. I'd say the seller was probably in their right to refuse even if it seems greedy. Usually these giant deals are done in private, where it's purely a matter of offers and counter offers, and each decision you make have consequences. It's like how the seller can't refuse a 1M offer, then come back later and force the buyer to pay up 1M because the buyer previously made that offer (which you previously declined). Goes both ways.
Again, I don't know the details but that's how it works in a negotiation. People can blow a deal just to be stubborn, spiteful, greedy, etc, once the ball is in their court.
