back for 100usd, should i negiotiate more or settle when the name has a little vaule other than it was a developed site.
 


LOL I'd start at $1,000 and for each offer they send back increase the price by $100.

"I'll take $1,000 nothing less"

"We'll offer you $800"

"I'll take $1100, nothing less"

"We'll offer you $900"

"I'll take $1200, nothing less"

I made a quick $2k that way off a pest control company.
 
Add a zero to that for sure. They can take it from the pay of the dumbass who forgot to renew their domain name.
 
I used to do the same with expired company names in spanish, never settle for $100. They are loosing their name on the net so ask for anything between $1000-$2000.

They might try the legal way (if they have their brand registered) but that would cost them way more than $2000...
 
2500 work downwards. Bro this guy from raleigh got 35k for the georgebushlibrary(com) website. You need to realise this, to you its just a .com to them thats where they get everything from business email, to business contacts.. everything.
Its worth more than you could ever imagine. Shit go for 8k and see what they say, basically you have the sex.com version of their particular industry.
I hope you havent sold it back. You will be suprised at how much money you can make from some of this domains.
I recently lost an auction for a domain with links from everywhere. I am talking insurance websites that dont link back, dmoz , yahoo you name it. If i got that sucka , they were going to pay me at least 5k to get it back.
WHy, do you know how hard it is to build and get links of that caliber - imagine losing a website netting you 35k a month. Heck some guys here do way more than that with a supernetwork of sites.
Anyway get that stuck in your head, dont take this transaction lightly - it could net you a shitload of money
 
Domainers are a bunch of squatting little parasites that provide nothing to anyone. I can't think of a single beneficial thing domainers bring to society. Even porn webmasters deliver something.

But in this case, if the domain is from a small biz I say punish them for $500. If there big, $1000+, but this shit about trying to take them for 8k is completely low-lifey.
 
Industrial security? See if you can dig up some figures on how much they do in a year, and sell it back for everything you can get for it. Rape them for their error.
 
Your obviously poor.

I say rape em for all they got.


I'll make splogs all day, but I won't go buy a porche by doing something seedy like this. Anyone who would is irresponsible and should take a look at where they've let themselves go - no one feels good knowing they are a scumbag that severely punished a 2 man army like the guy that lost his domain probably is.
 
I would try to find out more about the company before you make a decision.

Maybe it's just a dude and his friend trying to pay their bills, maybe it's a multi million dollar company.
 
Give it back to them, make them pay you reg fee. Why make money off of their mistake? You can't make money by your self so you have to make it on another persons mistake? What if they dropped a hundred dollar bill and you were walking behind them? I would give it back to them. Why?

1. Morals, I'm not a prick.
2. It would kind of be putting my own image down. I make enough money that I don't need to take other people's shit. I see you take the money, I feel like you can't creatively make any money.
 
Fucking people, company's, and the government fuck people every day. This is a business issue, get every dime you can.

You could find out who there main competition are, call them and say that you acquired their biggest competitors URL through entirely legitimate means because they forgot to pay for another year on it. Explain that they could have ALL the traffic their competitors would normally have gotten, and ask them how much they'd pay for it.

Then tell the original company that their competition is willing to pay that much to screw them over, so you want that + 25%-50%.
Provided that's still less than lawyer fees for some sort of action, explain that to them as well.

They can waste time and resources on lawyers, all the while their competitors are getting all of their business, or they can just give in and cough up a few grand.
It's good leverage.
 
but this shit about trying to take them for 8k is completely low-lifey.


Bullshit. They let it it go, it's their own fault.

If he has a heart and wants to use it, he can figure out how big the business/company is and skew the figure accordingly.
