Someone emailed me out of the blue and asked if they could buy a domain name I own. I've been sitting on this one for about 3 years because I thought it would be a good company name if I ever went out and did my own thing.

I run a small group and am interested to find out if your domain REDACTEDDOTCOM is available. Could you let me know if you're interested in selling it?

This person's the CEO of some education company that teaches shit with Arduino.

Wut do?

I kinda like my domain sitting there.

Put an outrageous price and then go down from it. If he goes to low, keep it.

Not sure if intentional or not, but you left a link in the "redacted".

I don't want to be a total dick about it, dawg

Be a total dick about it, dawg. If you are legit wanting to use it just say no, if you are waffling, price it high to make it worth letting go, if you are just squatting, price it high to recoup sunk costs and enable further squatting on other domains.

As someone who is sitting on several domains, you're never going to use that shit. Get what you can for it and buy some beer or something. If nothing else they're saving you $15 a year.

I legit like the name.

I asked for her price
She said $200
I politely declined and basically said "have a good one"
She came back with
I know my marketing person is going to ask me--did you have a dollar amount in mind?

I replied that it's nowhere in the $200 range.

*waiting*

Be careful Bisi, pretty sure capitalism (profiting) is a form of treason in Cucknadia now.

i mean if you're serious about this, go and a few thousand followers and fb page likes. don't tell her how many you have, just tell her the name and the "marketing guy" will go crazy over a preexisting user base.

I think it really depends if you have any use for the money. Chances are this will be the only offer you'll get for the domain so you can either sit on it and get no money or sell it and get money.

Is it a US firm? Make sure to stipulate $USD.
