I can do my research with basic contact information, or simply negotiate on the pure basis of the domain&#8217;s worth. Not the best option, but it can lead to a sale, although the days of such offers are gone for me, along with my Sedo listings.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting twist is that of the anonymous offer that goes to the opposite extreme and flaunts their contact information after a couple of emails, revealing one&#8217;s company name, role, assets, LinkedIn profile etc.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a point in doing so, or was the person uncomfortable to disclose their information at first? Were they hoping to get a better price quote by not explaining who they are?<\/p>\n<p>There is no definitive answer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve dealt with such <em>anon-to-epon<\/em> cases, where the buyer still received the same quote as originally, regardless of their status in the corporate world.
