What's the best way to buy a domain name that is occupied?
I used the whois check at findmypagerank.com/whois.php and emailed the owner.
He told me the domain wasn't for sale, and I replied "What if I told you I was willing to give $500-$1000 for it?" And he told me it was worth many times more.
It was a domain with only advertising on it, and it had been registered for several years.
When I first took contact, I simply said:
"Hey there!
I just have a question...
How much do you want for your domain, xxx.xxx?
Thanks,
- Preben"
Now I don't want to blow it with the other 2.
One of them is for a friends company.
She has a lot to invest, so she is willing to use quite a big amount on it.
It's a one-page useless website, which has got almost no traffic.
But it's a good domain name.
The last one, is one for myself, which is for my business.
I don't really need it yet, and I don't have that much to offer yet.
But it would be great to at least get a price for it, and maybe I'll buy it when I can afford it.
So what are your suggestions?
Should I ask in another way? Say something different?
A ready-made "I-want-to-buy-your-domain-name-please-tell-me-a-price" email would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
- Preben
