Hey guys!

I just got a domain a little while back, and put it up on private auction site, and someone offered me $799 - I have no idea if its a good deal, or if I should hold out for more.

www.Felts.ca

Thanks, any help would be great guys.

Cheers!

Counter him at $1000, see if he bites. If he doesn't, sell it anyway.

I guess the domain name might be in collission with the guys brand or some kind of product he is selling, so put him up for 1 - 2K, maybe squeeze it at $1,750 ans see if he is up for it.

  Whatever someone is willing to pay for it :p, but to the average person it's not worth much more than the registration fee.

Check the same domain names in other TLD (com, net, us etc). If you find that the person offering you own any of that domain names then just hold on. Probably he will increase the rate more. If the name does not match, just check those sites and try to get an idea on the company owning that sites. If you think the company is a large one then hold!

its surprising you would get an offer for a month old domain name. How did they contact you?.

Don't get too greedy like that guy who tried to sell Live.com to MSN for $800k but they only offered $200k, he denied and lost out. MSN bought Bing.

Sometimes you just need to go with your gut feeling. But yes, it's always good to do a bit of negotiation and raise your praise while you can and see what happens. Remember, whatever "offer" you're getting for the domain name is definitely lower than what it is really worth it ... So I'm sure you can sell it at higher price.
