Don’t worry, I deliver domain investing tips all the time; you haven’t missed the previous 452 tips.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have been reading my blog since its inception in early 2008<\/strong>, you will be able to utilize a lot of advice, conventional wisdom, and even ‘private’ anecdotes from my early years as a domainer, almost 15 years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Onto today’s tip.<\/p>\n

When a seller is offering domains for sale with a price, one can always make a private offer, to lower the asking price. This was tip #452.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What happens when there are several domains you are interested in, but not willing to pay the total asking price?<\/p>\n

By agreeing to buy the first one at their asking price, you’ve broken the ice, you’re doing business, you’re on a good course.<\/p>\n

The combo deal<\/strong>, is when you offer to buy more domains from their list, at a combined price lower than buying them individually.<\/p>\n

This does not mean that you will succeed to buy them cheap; you are only getting them cheaper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As always, it never hurts to ask; if you don’t ask, you will never receive.<\/strong> And that was tip #451.<\/strong><\/p>\n
