Didn't you have put.co.uk for sale last week at £1k?

 

[HariSeldon]

Well, well, well, bwl.co.uk was the domain being falsely advertised on Sedo recently at 200 GBP.

When I offered the asking price the seller countered with 5000 GBP.

Unlike the seller I do have some scruples so won't be making any offers here.

I expect he's saying - should have bought it at 1k last week - fair marketing.
Unless of course someone offered the 1k, that would be interesting.

I gather from the sedo listing on bwl.co uk that it's minimum offers of 200 eu, that's the way it works,he comes back with an inflated counter offer and you go higher than your original bid, looks like had you offered £500 for the name you would have secured it, not unreasonable IMO

 

[GreyWing]

A lot of people submit names in bulk on Sedo and £200 was probably the default setting for minimum offers from my experience.

In my opinion it was usually Sedo's fault not the sellers for allowing it to happen. Although they have now brought it a fixed price auction that has started to address this.

Um, no, the 200 is advertised as the 'Seller's Listing Price' on the Sedo site and as the seller's 'Desired Price' in my control panel.

Seller's Listing Price

So I am at a loss how you can think it is 'reasonable' for someone to then come back with a 5000 price, in my opinion this is simply dishonest.

If it had been originally advertised at 500 I would have offered that although based on my first experience I would not be surprised if the seller then countered with 12500.

Greywing, I'd have agreed this may have been a defence if mine had been the first offer but there had been several offers before mine. So to me this shows the seller knew exactly what price was being advertised and that this was a deliberate decision by him/her.

 

[foz]

It does say "Make offer" button. I agree it's confusing.

"Seller's Listing Price:" should say "Minimum offer:"

For domains that you wish to sell on the spot, they should state "Buy now" button. Do they?

I think the seller has to either keep or come down from his original asking price, he can't increase it.

Er, this is a sales thread chaps?

Yes, sorry, got carried away in his defence.

Settings

I changed the settings on the sedo panel to encourage bids but when you have 18000 you cant be picky.......the problem really occurred in that it should be under minimum offer and not expected price i tried to change this but like most computers a 'nothing' is not a change!

You can have bwl.co.uk for £500 but dont really want to sell put.co.uk so my counter offers goes with the wind.......if i sell enough the prices go up for the day, week, month, hour or minute

Not many of my buyers grumble

buying a domain name is not the same as buying a car of a garage forecourt.
