I'll take these two at £20 each

 

[SF]

Hi Guys,

Please read the post properly, 95% are at £20 each but 5% are a little more than that, which is why they are posted in offers section.

Just sent you a PM brewsters

 

[mat]

So basically, let you know which ones we want and my guess is they wont be the £20 names

Maybe easier to mark which ones are not £20?

 

[killaclown]

db,

i've made a few offers in the past for garstang.co.uk but for some reason you never gave a counter offer.

If you want to set a price i would be interested

thanks

Thats actualy a good idea matt,

garstang/co/uk is into the thousands which is why I prob been ignoring your low ball offers...

 

[figleaf007]

So, offers from £20 but you want thousands for some? There's been quite a bit of this going on lately, another thread had 'offers from £500' and the seller wanted a grand - really, what is the point?

 

[Admin]

Agreed very confusing, especially when your thread title states from £20 each.

Please edit the list to only include ones around £20 and create another list for anything else. As your thread suggests a £xx price so you can't expect £xxx + offers.

If people can't tell which names are in the £20 range, and which aren't then surely they are in the wrong game.

that's not the point here, the point is the thread suggests they are all in the £20 range...

Listing a name "in the thousands" along with a title that 95% are at £20 will only make people ignore any similar future listings. I am not taking a huge dig at DB, this thread is one of many that have the same issue.

Maybe there should be a site-wide multiplier that sets a limit for a domain price in a list if there is a starting price in the title (so at 5x a list stating "from £20" in the title has a limit of £100 for any domain - plus there must be a decent percentage of domains at the low price, which are listed as such) - I am sick of being hit with a price way beyond the inferred cost.


If some domains you want to list are considerably higer in price (on a relative basis) then simply create several threads - I know I would ignore the threads that state domains from £1000; but if they are that good then the person should be putting more effort into the title and not relying on a low price to entice people to look.

It's even more annoying when you see hundreds of "clearout" domains, of which each will interest only a small percentage of people due to not being great (hence "clearout"), and you declare an interest in a name and it suddenly gets trasferred into the sellers "special" pot. If names are declared as clearout or something similar it maybe should be that they are capped or forced to delare the buy it now price.

OP should at least respond to all those who makes offers even if too low, afterall, he invited offers indicating a minimum price. Everyone knows how to try to buy a £xxxx name for £xx! Post is fine otherwise, IMO.

Thanks frank couldnt of said it better and I thought Alan would of known this.

There is an old saying, god loves a tryer!

Good names are not going to be sold for £20 so walk on

 

[eddieb]

So why not call the thread 'A lot of sub-£5000 domains'?
No need to answer, we all know why not

 

[figleaf007]

Well, these names have been listed so many times before, one might be forgiven any of them are fair game, as they've not been purchased previously

Are you seriously suggesting that everyone here MUST know every reason why every string of characters may be valuable in order to participate?

You are not even taking into account that everyone values domains differently, and that's a big part of the domain business.

Let's take garstang as an example:

I know a lot about UK geography, far more than the average domainer, but I had to look up Garstang as I did not recognise it as a placename. It has a population in the low thousands (4074 according to 2001 census). I immediately went to look it up to see if it's a postal town (1500ish in the UK) as I believe I know all of those and was concerned I may be slipping - but it's not one.

There already is a site about the town on the .net - so that may be seen as a positive or a negative, price wise, depending on who you are. That site states it's the first fair trade town and a cursory glance suggests it may be a nice place with a few things put on to attract visitors.

I have access to a lot of data and can tell you the following:

• Royal Mail data indicates it only covers around 3 square miles (that's includingany open space considered within the boundary of the town).
  
• It appears that just over 200 businesses are located in the town and there's no unusual distribution to the types of business.

You might say that the potential purchaser should know most of that, but you have to ask whether the seller neccessarily will (given people own hundreds or thousands of domains and may have picked up portfolios along the way).

Is it unreasonable for the potential purchaser to think that they may be getting, in their eyes, a bargain if such a name is listed as 95% likely to be £20? "Incorrect" pricing goes both ways, in this case we have situation where the seller is waiting for an offer that's unlikey to come (but that's their decision and right) and a buyer who, quite rightly in my view, is thinking the seller is willing to sell at a price they see as reasonable (due to the 95% @ £20).

That's just a single example as to why your assertion that people are "in the wrong game" is, in my opinion, way off target. Maybe you can learn that not everyone will value their domains at the price that you expect them to (as I guess you would not have made that statement if you knew that).

Really, come on Alan you and me both now what i meant in the thread.

I do like a tryer thou, these savvy domainers looking for a 5k name for £20

dream on, Frank said it the best please read my original post

its posted in the offers section, most of them are in the £20 range but not all of them,

Good night and god bless.

 

[Admin]

Well the idea surely is to make it easy for people to buy your domains.

If they have to scan through a massive list and decide if it's a £20 name or not, you are not helping them buy from you.

Fair comments I agree, mine were more a sweeping statement towards the 95% of the names which ARE £20.

You said 95%, so 5% higher than £20. That equates to about 10 names if you listed 200. Why not just take out those which are not £20 and there will be no confusion.
