Buying a .co.uk thru sedo

[Ellis]

What a waste of time

Last week I made 4 substantial offers for 4 .co.uk domains

Not one seller has bothered to send me a reply.

Anyone else had the same problem?

I think it depends on your interpretation of "substantial" vs the seller's. I have both bought and sold .co.uk domains through Sedo successfully... but quite often sellers won't bother to respond to what they perceive as lowball offers (and their perception is all that matters).

Edwin is £10000 not substantial enough to at least warrant a responce?

Depends on the domain. For some, probably not. I agree that should get a reaction for most names, though...

I would say that should get anyone's attention.

Does the WHOIS on the domain give you enough information to be able to make a direct approach?

Sometimes I do not reply to low silly offers simply because I can not just refuse them (cancel) without offering counter price and I don't want to continue any negotiations with time wasters.

Same happens with buyers -- some of them do not bother to reply and cancel negotiations, therefore offers list is full of those already expired.

with that kind of initial offer I don't know why a seller wouldn't respond. I'd send Sedo an email, maybe they can find out what's up with the seller.
