Someone wants to buy my domain...
I just got contacted out of the blue the other day by a very well know entity who wants to buy my domain. Apparently my domain name is the same name as a venue they recently purchased. The investment they are making in their venue is in the neighborhood of $100 million. The gross income of this company in 2012 was around $500 million.
Anyway, they asked me if I was interested in selling and want to speak to me on the phone. Thus far I've responded to the email saying I would be interested in selling and look forward to hearing their offer. The response I received was that they were out of the office on business til Monday and would that be ok.
Naturally after finding out about all this I'm a bit stoked but I'm certain they will lowball me initially. I just want to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot on this. Right now the ball is in their court to make the offer and I'm going to keep it there till they give me one. Any ideas on how I should proceed going forward after the initial offer? I do know they purchased a domain name for a venue in 2004 and paid 20k for it. Anyway, I'd appreciate any constructive input!
TIA,
Al
BTW, I've sold a few domains in the past but they went through Sedo and GoDaddy and I never knew who the actual buy was. My last sale was 2 years ago for $4000 for a somewhat similar domain name...
