I receive a strange offer. What I have to do?

    HI friends. I have a question. Recently (three weeks ago) in SEDO I saw how somebody bought 4 domains for $2500 each. The domains were:

    automobileenterprise dot com
    automobileenterprises dot com
    enterpriseautomobile dot com
    enterpriseautomobiles dot com

    I did not now who is the buyer, but decided to buy 4 other domains, similar to his purchase. So I bought these 4 domains:

    automobilesenterprise dot com
    automobilesenterprises dot com
    enterprisesautomobile dot com
    enterprisesautomobile dot com

    A week later somebody offers me $500 for the first and the second of these 4 domains (each). I was surprised and made a counteroffer of $3000. An hour later he made $600 offer for each one of these two domains. I decided to play hard and made the same counteroffer ($3000) with note, "I am incline to reduce my price, but give me e sensible price" or something like that. After this he canceled his offers.

    I decided to find out who had bought the first 4 domains. And I found out that the buyer is Enterprise Rent-a-car. I am not sure who tried to buy my domains, but I think it was Enterprise.
    So, what do you think, what is the value of my domains? How much can I expect from Enterprise? What I have to do? Do I have to write them with an offer or to stay still and wait?

    Thank you in advance for your opinions and your time. I will appreciate any kind of help.

    For a small register like that, you should take what they are offering you and make the most of it!

    Good luck :)

    Accept this right away. Probably you have paid your domain maximum $10 each. Look the profit you make. ;-) Take it.

    Good luck and let us know after your sale.

    I also think you were far to greedy by asking for $3000, you should of asked for $1400 then $1200, now youl be lucky to get $120.

    You are right that may be I had to get the money, but they bought 4 domains for $2500 each in front of my eyes. In fact, I bought the domains without special expectations. But there is another point of view: they give cars for rent. The domains that I have received direct visitors every day (not much, but enough approximately 5 persons per day each). These are potential client for car renting, because they hit my domains searching Enterprise. For a year these people will become about 1500 potential clients ( for every domain name). So, Enterprise is losing money and will lose much more than this $2500 per domain they have paid. Of course, this is my point of view, but I am pretty sure that in this case I am right. But the time will show. :)

    Interesting. What if you do a transfer to someother name and wait for their another approach ? Try that. All the best.
