Negotiating With a Domain Name Stalker

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

In my portfolio of domain names, I have a few good ones that I just can’t ever see myself parting with.  The reason?  They have a lot of type in traffic.  But I’ have a domain name that someone else has wanted for years, and this post chronicles some of my dealings with this domain name stalker.

Every few months I get an offer for one of my domains.  The initial price they suggest is always around $300-$400.  Then I get into discussions with the person and they ask how much I want to sell it for.  I tell them $x,xxx, which I feel is a good value.  They always respond saying the most they will pay is $800.
