Recently, I had the pleasure of exchanging a couple of emails with a person who provides quality 3D infographics for financial data, on his .info web site.<\/p>\n
After receiving an offer for the matching .com on Sedo and not reaching an agreement on the price, I assumed it came from the .info or the .us – both owned by the same person I mentioned above.<\/p>\n
I emailed him, making sure he got praised for his creations displayed on the year old .info, and asked how much he’d pay for the 10 year old .com that I owned.<\/p>\n
His response left me speechless, as he stated he had no budget for the .com and that through “Google placement” he’d make the .info have more traction, overshadowing the .com. He also stated that he hadn’t placed the bid on Sedo.<\/p>\n
At that point, I had killed two birds with one stone: first, I knew this was not my secret bidder and second, I knew he would not be the one to ever bid on the .com!<\/p>\n
So I contacted Sedo, asking them to mediate a sale to the original bidder, offering them a reasonable discount over my initial asking price. The buyer accepted, and the sale closed and was paid in two days.<\/p>\n
Moral of the story: eliminate those that won’t be interested in your domain and achieve a sale by seeking alternate buyers.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to Sedo and particularly Lisa Allen, for making this sale appear effortless! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
