Domain Inquiry Reply

[doc24]

Here is quite a reply from a recent inquiry on a domain I was thinking about buying.

CITYNAMErestaurants.com

Major city domain for restaurants and its not being used.
I offered $x,xxx for it as I had specific ideas in place for this area and here was the owners response, one of the most unprofessional I have ever seen.

___________________________________________________________
I'm not interested in less than $X,XXX, so I guess you'll have to buy it from someone else. Oh right. There are 7 billion people on planet Earth... there is one xxxxxxxRestaurants.com. Let me do the math.

That's one domain name for every 7 billion people. Hmmm.... I wonder if out of 7 billion people you are the only one interested in it.... oh right... I get about one email a week for this one... wonder if I'll ever ever ever sell it.
Get lost.

Wow, I wasnt even that far off on the offer and was willing to pay more but forget it and moved on. I cant even imagine dealing with that guy

That was his first email

Needless to say I told him to have a nice day.

I guess I should have used LOve and Logic

People get cocky, they forget who to tether to..

Sorry for the disrespectful comment and unprofessionalism

 

[hawkeye]

OMG. Whatever. I think you should pass out the name and contact info, and we all should bombard him with requests and lowball offers!! Like 'LOWball' offers! 40-50 weekly insulting offers ought to get old to him pretty quick!

Thanks but I picture this guy in a closet with a laptop and sunglasses on, a 12 pack of red bull, a dozen candybars and a weapon while viewing Oprahs program on anger management

did you tell him with your offer "since its not being used", To a domainer it is an insult especially if its parked

 

[doc24]

Fatter : What ???
Having a domain parked is NOT an insult, it wasnt being used as far as the domain being developed, any GOOD domain person knows that

That comment is ridiculous

It was a professional offer, dont stand up for a rude obnoxious person that has the brain of an ant and expect to be in the domain business

I answer professionaly each and everytime there is a domain request, not some 6 year old tirade that has nothing to do with being parked - get serious

 

[fatter]

I only asked because in your original post you said the domain wasnt being used, if it is in fact parked it is being used to make money, and like i said earlier a lot of domainers take it as an insult when someone puts that comment in with an offer, did you say "since it isnt being used "with your original offer

 

[james2002]

He was asking for xxxx range or x,xxx,xxx ?

 

[Sonny Banks]

Why if you offered him x,xxx he replied "I'm not interested in less than $X,XXX"?

Are you sure you don't offered him $100?

 

[hina]

How about you show us the email you sent him. Perhaps there's something in your email that enticed him to react like that.

 

[Jeffreyw]

What a very bad businessman. He just made a mistake that ruined a future business deal.

 

[Brand2Go]

It is doubtful the individual has had much success in selling names based on the approach you outlined that he/she uses...

When the individual comes crawling back...and it shouldn't take long...you should be able to use the cut-n-paste-reply to negotiate a significant discount.

Good luck.

 

[rebirth]

Gosh, citynamerestaurants.com is not even THAT huge. Why the cocky attitude?

 

[Vinternatt]

Wow that's a badass response

 

[Fearless]

Wonder if I could steal that response.

 

[PRED]

trust me, denny is a fun guy really :smilewinkgrin:

How.....do you figure that out from their response?
