Lucky coincidences...

[Edwin]

Sometimes the Universe seems to serve up lucky coincidences. Not often enough, especially these days. But the occasional one from time to time, to keep you hoping...

Scenario...
A) Buyer enquires after B2B product domain. It's descriptive, but nothing super-topical. Usual polite "How much?! Swoon, pass the smelling salts" (paraphrased) refusal in response.
B) 22 hours later, a different buyer (definitely unconnected - both mailed from their corporate accounts with full email signature etc.) enquires about the same domain. "Invoice me today and we'll pay this afternoon." Sale complete, job done.

This particular domain had never had an enquiry before in the 11 years we've owned it.

Has that sort of thing ever happened to you? Or do you have examples in the non-domain world of happy coincidences you've experienced?

That’s quite cool, but I bet there’s something heating up in that domain category or there has been a post somewhere like LinkedIn that both parties saw or a recent industry development and so on...

The pure coincidence theory is a far more pleasing possibility though

I did a modest amount of Googling and couldn't find a connection, but you could be right of course. But I'll stick to my theory.

I recently sold tequilas.co.uk after receiving two enquiries on the same day. I wondered about the interest received and thought it might have been reported as a possible covid-19 cure. Strange!!

Congratulations. Sometimes, yes. A domain name doesn't receive any enquiries and then multiple unconnected parties express interest within a short while of each other. A bit like buses. You wait ages...

Hi Edwin, I had a first & last name domain while working for DomCollect. Let's say it was MikeWalsher.com. I got a bid from a USA bidder (Of course DomCollect can't see who bids) and a week later, while negotiating, a UK bidder emailed me and was sold in one conversation and, he paid twice what I was looking to get from the USA bidder.

As soon as I had the first bid I researched people with the same name - 4 people that I could find and two were bidding at the same time
