You really need to out this guy, behavior like that is totally unacceptable.

I guess the person is lucky I am a nice guy. Sometimes.

Just a thought: "Crazy buyer's thread" - are those people actually "buyers"?

 

[DomainRecap]

Yeah, more like "Crazy Crazies Thread"

They're not buying anything, they just want to drag you down into their Realm of Madness!

this is a good scenario for a payment plan.

this is a good scenario for a payment plan.

If the person approached me with an actual offer, without all the BS, a deal would probably have been reached.

When you come to the table with TM threats and fake offers, it really limits my motivation to work with you at all.

This is one of many areas where Buyer Brokers can add value; we can act as buffers between The Crazy and the Domain Owner, although sometimes The Crazy is the Domain Owner. [ runs for cover... ]

Sorry couldn't resist

Unfortunately a domain owner is allowed to be crazy. After all it is their domain that’s what makes this business so interesting.

I agree 100% with you, especially if I thought the guy was never going to pay no matter what I did or said.

But if I thought the buyer was as interested as yours is, it might be worth humbling him by being the bigger person here and offering a bridge by way of a payment plan. It could actually work to your advantage if he realizes he was an a-hole and blatantly wrong. So if its really that important to him, a payment plan could give him what he wants (the domain) and a better sale for you.

On a side note, the party admitted making the fake offer just to get my response.
What they say is not even true, there is no $10,000 minimum offer.

You can go on the page right now and see $500 is the minimum offer. It has been that way.

Weird. I had a guy make a fake offer last year too, said the same thing, it was to get my attention he said, then cut his offer to like 25%. That didn't go over well with me either. This isn't an immigration/visa related domain is it??

Nope. It is a super generic GEO.

Large city + popular service field.

I just thought there aren't too many people dumb enough to think that this was a smart negotiating tactic. And weirdly, the same domain that it happened to me with, also got another inquiry yesterday too. That's really what made me start thinking that maybe it was the same guy trolling for domains again.

100% agree with you; every domain project and its people are unique, which is why I am never bored doing what I do.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I was just reading your reply and the "NAME" and "NINJA" in your signature caught my eye, with of course Name being the hot word of the week. And so down the rabbit hole I went....

I know we love to hate valuations, but while I'm down the rabbit hole, here are some current valuations, fairly evenly matched, with Name having the slight lead by consensus.

domain	GoDaddy	DomainIndex	PC.Domains	Graen	Saw
name	9004	808	11531	43297	31000
ninja	7491	2780	4067	40912	25000

As a broker, any thoughts on those valuations? I'm just wondering if you'd share some experiences with us sellers.

What service seems to have the most realistic valuations in your experience? And I'm mostly referring to the .CA space, but either way. Of course as sellers, we're all gonna say we like Graen. Just wondering if you have any different perspective based on your broker experience.

All of the automated (instant) appraisal tools (including Estibot) are useful as a 'second set of eyes' if I want to parse a large list of domains and want to make sure I don't miss seeing a domain I might otherwise pass over. So, to help parse a large list of domains, these tools can be useful, in my opinion.

All of these same tools, including Estibot, hold almost zero value to me when it comes to determining the true value of a domain. None of these tools take into account who the Buyer is, who the domain owner is, and all sorts of other subtle variables that can and will determine how much the domain ends up changing hands for. When a Buyer client asks me to help them set a budget for a specific domain, probably the single biggest factor I look at is who owns the domain name. The same domain name owned by a college kid might be purchasable for $1,000 (beer money) whereas if it was owned by a Fortune 500 it could cost $750,000. These automated tools don't factor this in, so they are almost useless.
