Have you ever said f**k off on a negotiation?

I swear I'm about to

lol. Yeah, I get that level of stupidity on occasion too. Are people that stupid? Maybe some, but its hard to believe, isn't it?

I get still get monthly $5K offers on a domain I sold for $200K USD more than two years ago. The domain is now developed. You wonder how is that possible? It's lazy fu@#s who bought a database of old whois information fishing for someone who doesn't know what their doing. They're fishing in a pond that's been fished out for a decade or more, yet for some reason they keep trying. Those are the ones I tell to fu@# off.

"Obviously usage or budget can never be a determinant of domain name prices."

That shuts the hobos up real quick.

I also highly recommend raising the minimum bid on domains like this, as I used to have $20-$100 limits and they just attracted losers like flies to sheit.

I used to categorize these lowball bids with "buyer interest" but when I really analyzed what's going on, that assumption was 100% incorrect and it was just jerks, fleabags, ditchpigs and other hammerheads looking to scam, all loaded with "I'm a poor student", "Our budget is only $xxx" and "It's just for a school course", etc. lies and other BS.

Once I jacked it to up $300-$800 (and $2000-$5000 in some cases), my buyer quality improved exponentially and these offers started turning into sales on a much, much, much higher rate. I no longer had to waste valuable time dealing with itinerant vagrants, and these "domain cockroaches" all scurried off to other people's domain listings.

setting even a $500 or $1000 minimum can get rid of a lot of the tire kickers on names you would never sell in that range.

+1 for setting a much higher minimum bid
