Interested in buying an
existing domain name?
Question: How much should I offer for a domain?
Keep in mind that if your first offer is too small, you
risk insulting the seller and damaging your chances of
being able to carry out successful negotiations. To make
sure the seller knows you’re a serious buyer, resist the
temptation to just make the minimum offer, and instead
start off with an fair offer.
The definition of “fair offer” of course varies
according to the quality of the domain name, but for a
quality domain name or one of the domains in our
database, you’re probably going to need at least a
four-figure offer just to get the seller’s attention. If
the domain of your choice has already received a lot of
offers, it is a sign that the seller is probably looking
for a lot more than the minimum.
Question: What if we can’t agree on a price with
the domain owner?
If there is a large discrepancy between your offer and
the seller’s expectations, you have the following
options:
#1 Consider ordering a Domain appraisal and sharing the
results with the other party. In this way, both of you
have an expert third-party opinion on the domain’s true
value, which can help facilitate a conclusion of the
sale.
#2 Get professional help. If you lack the time or
industry experience to negotiate a good price, it may be
appropriate to ask us to intervene on your behalf. Our
experience putting together domain sales can help close
a deal where otherwise there may not have been an
agreement. For more information, please contact our
office via the form on the top of the page.
#3 Rethink your budget. As the first step to your new
online presence, your domain name is one of the most
critical factors in the success of your online presence.
Your domain name is the equivalent of your store name
and address (location) all rolled into one. A good
domain name contributes directly to the bottom line
through traffic generation (type-in and search engine)
and improved brand image (more credibility). Make sure
you consider the value of these benefits when
determining your acquisition budget. Finally, don’t
forget that acquiring a premium domain name is an
investment, not an expense. Your domain name is an
asset, one that usually increases in value over time and
be resold for a profit.
