Hello,

I am currently developing an application that would monitor the web traffic of websites, and would like to set up a site, where I can launch it.
I need a .com, but after I searched for 3 hours, I realized that there is no available name, so I looked on a domain auction site, Sedo, and I found this one
http://www.sedo.com/search/details.p...d=&language=us

How should I proceed? Should I start biding on a big sum, or make him a low offer and start negotiating then. And how much should I offer?
Thanks

if i were , i should start with a small bid

Figure the maximun that you are willing to offer say $100.00 then offer a bid of 40% percent less ($60) and work from there! Sometimes when you offer to low of a price, you offend the seller and if you offer too high, they might think you have "deep pockets"...of course most .com sell on sedo for four figures
Another tip is.. if you can find the owners email (from whois.net etc) send him a personal email with a heading like "Willing to buy your domain" or something similiar and ask him how much will he want for his domain or state a price that you are willing to pay and ask if he would push it to your account for this price...Of course it is recommended that you transfer fund using an "escrow service" or a 3rd party like "paypal"
hopefully this was of some help

Careful with the bidding. Don't get trick by sedo.

Sorry about that..I was just giving an example of the top of my head..and Sedo was the only one that I remembered

How do they trick you? Share your insight please!

Jimmyjump – what briguy has mentioned about quoting the price is perfectly correct as the other party will always judge you by what price you quote. Do the bargaining wisely and don’t change your price quotes instantly as it will make the seller think that they can still get high on the price with you.
