How did you word it? Did you say they could it for next for nothing / a low fixed price or did you invite them to make an offer...?

The guy that was going to destroy me and my life LOL has actually showed me a few neat things (best mate now)

Done a bit of digging on him and he's a very BIG player on line as a whole so yeah I picked the wrong/right guy as it turns out.

That happens now and again,i advertised on a4u (the dreaded domains for sale section) and the guy wrote a comment about knicking his content,and we had a slagging match for a couple of PM's and then we both mellowed and really got on and the guy was a major player in his field infact he owned all the forums in this field.

I didn't specify a low price or a fixed price, probably should of done, but I didn't ask them to make an offer.

This last week I registered LLN.co.uk, I saw it on a drop list, thought it sound good so registered it. I've nothing planned for the domain, I was just hoarding, so wondered if you'd be interested in buying it?

Maybe I should have said "do you want it". Either way, I don't think I deserved that and consider it unprofessional.

Well the main guy that was going to destroy me, I thought hey I'm getting older by the day lets turn this around into something positive! Held my hands up and joked about it and trying my luck. He then changed his tone and was really cool about it. Didn't help the fact one of his sites had been hacked that morning and was red misting.

He's sent me loads of tips and advice about how to improve my sites and SEO etc

All good stuff too, tons of it.

I don't think you should be cold calling people - your giving the uk domain industry a bad name, its clear from the responses people are pissed off with you - for all we know it could be down the fact your a shite salesman with no idea how to engage these people in a business discussion, I dread to think what emails you sent..

[golddiggerguy]

That's it I don't usually cold call or send emails out about domains and my tactics are good!

I was unlucky to get 3 already pissed off people on the phone.

And i'm very sure 100's of muppets out there doing a great job of messy the domainers industry up who arn't even in business!
