Hi, So I'm not a domainer, but because of the nature of my job (online marketing) I acquire from time to time domain names for my personal use, and sometimes if I don't need them I sell them ... So I got a domain recently, bought in auction for around $2k ... And because of a current project, I quickly discovered that I don't have the time or the interest to develop it ... So I wanted to sell it ... Withought doing any research, I submitted it on Brandbucket (since I have 3 other domains listed there), and it got accepted for a listing price of $9.5k ... It's now in the processing phase .. So earlier I was bored and I looked up the name ... And it turns out that maybe (just maybe) some big company will want to get that name ... (on crunchbase, it looks like they had 6 rounds of fund raising for a total of 92 million euros) ... The situation is a bit complicated, not as straightforward as it seems, so I would love someone who knows about selling domains to pm me so I can share more details, and maybe help me out here ... Thank you !
I'd take the profit that is on offer. So the buyer may be able to flip it and get more. You dont have time to go chasing the company and if they actually wanted they'd have bought it when you did.
E-mailing them (the company) without mentioning any numbers might be a wise move. Otherwise (if they do not respond and/or numbers aren't interesting), go with whatever you can get ATM.
