Potential end user has responded to me. HELP!!!!!

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by armstrongdomains, May 29, 2009.

    Hi all, just yesterday I contacted as many casino site admin contacts I could find via whois regarding selling my domain "casino25.com".

    I've already had 2 responses asking me roughly how much i'm looking for. Trouble is, I have no idea on what price to start with as I dont want to scare them away or on the other hand sell myself short. Any quick advice on a ballpark figure? (the 2 responses are from MAJOR online casino businesses).

    Personally, I wouldn't have thought that the name would be worth much at all, especially with the number "25" after it, unless it has some meaning to it. If you have 2 major online casino businesses interested in it, I would be looking for $x,xxx asking price. Maybe reply an asking price of $2,500 & work your way from there.

    Well Definitely start high and make your self open for negotiation.

    If taken a look at your Alexa rank, index pages, back links. and you have nothing >_> you didn't even attempt to build the site? A domain is worth as much as you make it. You need to build then sell not buy then sell that method generally does not work. Especially when the domain name has numbers in it.

    What makes your domain unique from casino24.com or casino23.com etc etc etc....

    However the domain is 4 years old and could hold some value that way. You've spent what $40-$45 paying for the between the domain name and renewing it? Overall I'd personally sell it for $60 if they say no then negotiate with them, don't show them that you are needing to get rid of it fast. Show them how valuable the domain can be integrated towards their needs and how it can effectively leave a positive impact towards their site or business.

    Good luck.

    Dealing with escrow service for selling domain name would be safer.

    I suggest you put the domain at bid at sedo.
    So that the potential buyer can bid on it.
    You can set the starting price at $100.

    We've received interest from another casino for xxxx, can you beat their offer? repeat until they say no or you don't want to chance it.

    I would just start the offer with $275. If they're smart, they'll counter-offer about $150. Then you counter-offer for about $200. The name isn't worth that much. Especially to a "major" casino. They will just choose another name if your offer is too high. They will know you are unreasonable. Even if someone owns a trademark for the name, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will pay big money for a domain name because they have so many alternatives these days!!!!!! It's not the same market as it was 10+ years ago. Believe me!

    casino25 does have meaning sense a lot of casino offer $25 promotion start
    i usually start high , but also telling them the domain must be told till... ( here you put some date, in a week or so )
    so you are also taking offers from it. if they really want the domain , high price will not scared them and they will try to negotiate
    good luck

    Whatever.... how many have YOU sold like that. NOT!!! I've been in this gig over 11+ years. Never marketed any DN. Sold 100s of 1000s of $$$ in DNs. LOLOLOL! . "Scared". I was being nice. You won't literally "scare" them off... you'll "laugh" them off. Whatever...
