Oftentimes, I price a domain name on Afternic and/or DAN at the time I acquire the domain name, and I don’t go back to modify it on a regular basis. This applies to the majority of my replaceable inventory I buy on a regular basis, as I tend to re-price my higher value domain names as often as warranted.

The only time I typically look at my pricing for inventory-quality domain names is when I receive an inquiry or an offer. When an offer or inquiry is made, I will have a look at the price I have set to contemplate accepting the offer, counter offering the prospect, or rejecting the offer.

Ammar Kubba shared a back and forth he had with a prospective buyer for a domain name who apparently did not identify himself or use an email address that made it clear who he was. I have gone through many negotiations where I made a significant effort to learn more about the prospective buyer before locking in a deal to sell a domain name. There are a number of reasons for why I want to know who a buyer is before closing a deal.

A startup branded as Flip, which has been using the Flip.Lease domain name for its website, recently acquired Caretaker.com and rebranded itself as Caretaker. Caretaker.com had been owned by NetIncome Ventures, the domain investment company founded by Garry Chernoff.

I learned that the purchase price of Caretaker.com was $112,000. Garry’s company had owned this domain name since 2003 after acquiring the domain name in a private transaction.
