Why did you sell a domain for a voucher you don't want?

Why did you sell a domain for a voucher you don't want?

I didnt say I didnt want it If i can sell the voucher for 350 then i will. If not ill use it and order myself a 500 quid fireplace. Either way not a bad return for 7 quids worth of domain.

How do you know the voucher is good? how do you know they wont use it before you do?

I dont. But im dealing with the owner of the company. And I fundamentally prefer to believe people are good rather than everyone is always trying to rip each other off.

That and the fact I did the deal on name pros and his user name "Black_hat_224" from moscow means he must be okay

Oh I see, the buyer was Bio Fire?

Just all seems very bizarre, from them offering it, to you accepting it, to then offering it for £350

Each to their own

Yes... the owner of a bio fire company. And probably not my finest moment, but i thought the idea of a swap was cool at the time. Either way , its fine.

I was once offered £200 worth of Magic Tricks stock in place of cash. I turned it down...

 

[dee]

Why didn't you just accept £350 cash from the buyer in the first place?

Obviously I would have done if had been an option.

I bought http://www.biofires.com/bio-ethanol-fireplaces/20-glass-cube.html about a year ago. We really like it.

I dont require 11 more of them though so will not be buying your voucher.

Mat..... have vision..... your garden could look like this for much cheapness

Well done. Any holes a goal

Not my finest hour - but when I first got into domains (literally first few days), I regged a few obvious trademarks and a well-known comedian's name that had dropped.

Quickly realised my error the next week after reading a ton of threads here, but before I'd deleted them all I received a letter through post from said comedian's management company asking about the domain - emailed them back saying I was a fan (which was true) and they could have it for free with a:
"P.S. would be over the moon with a signed pic for the missus"
Didn't expect much but they went out of their way and arranged a huge framed, personally signed and doodled tour poster. I was well chuffed

Sometimes you gotta take what you can get...
