How do you typically respond to a lowball offer?​

Typically I don't respond to offers under $1000 but when I get an offer from a big corporation I use one of my favourite responses...

Thank you for the response but we would have to get a significant offer to consider selling a one word domain name.

Given your low initial offer we do not feel it is advantageous for us to enter into negotiations at this time.

So what are some of your favourite responses to lowball offers?

I recently used this one which I like. It was used on me years ago when I countered at 10x the offer! and never heard from them again.

Thanks, ------------. We are a bit far apart in price to negotiate at this time. If anything changes on your end, please feel free to reach out.

I remember a topic I read a few weeks ago: ‘My client only has $2,000 for this domain. Can we make a deal?’

Depends on what kind of buyer it is IMO. Brand/business? Tell them the price directly (or leave room for negotiation) in the reply. If individuals, Tell them range of your expectations. Be nice!

Hi, Maple

A clear value frame often turns lowball chatter into real negotiation.
