The domainer version of this question would be: should you try to seal the deal with the first end user who makes you a reasonable offer or wait for more generous end users to come along?

Following Up – Pros and Cons
Posted on 10 July 2014 by Andrei
Sometimes, negotiations don’t go as planned and the end user you’ve been communicating with doesn’t get back to you. Should you follow up or wait for the other party’s reply?

Do Domainers Practice What They Preach?
Posted on 09 July 2014 by Andrei
Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that it’s strange how certain end users aren’t even willing to pay a more than reasonable price for a great domain.
Snoopy didn’t agree and said the following:
“we moan about someone who will not pay our price yet we’d never pay a fraction of that price ourselves”
Frustrating End User Mentality Issues
Posted on 08 July 2014 by Andrei
Leonard Britt posted a comment yesterday about how a production company refused to pay more than low $xxx for a domain which would have represented either the best possible choice for their project or if not, one of the best choices for sure.
I think such mentality issues deserve to be addressed.
This Week’s New gTLD Launches
Posted on 07 July 2014 by Andrei
If I’m not mistaken, 4 new gTLDs will enter the General Availability phase tomorrow. Two of them tomorrow (so on the 8th of July) and the remaining two on Wednesday (in other words, on the 9th of July).
Please note that since most new gTLDs are very poorly promoted, I may very well miss some. Do your own research as well, don’t just rely on what you read on DomainingTips because while I do my best, I cannot make any accuracy guarantees.

19 GoDaddy Discount Codes
Posted on 05 July 2014 by Andrei
I’ll be sharing 19 coupons with you guys today. Three of them should work worldwide as opposed to just for customers from the US/Canada and as far as the remaining 16 are concerned, I’m not sure.

Don’t Take Things Personally!
Posted on 04 July 2014 by Andrei
Back when I started out, I used to worry about every little detail and take things personally. If something didn’t work out (a deal that fell through, for example), I’d spend lots and lots of time thinking about it.
I’d get mad at the other party.
And/or start blaming myself.
Quick Tip for Flippers
Posted on 03 July 2014 by Andrei
Being a flipper can be quite lucrative if you know what you’re doing but the number one risk is (in my opinion, at least) letting time go by without building your very own portfolio of “keepers” or in other words, not having any long-term domain investments whatsoever.
Should You Renew Domains for Longer Periods?
Posted on 02 July 2014 by Andrei
As a domainer, not accidentally letting domains expire is definitely one of the top five rules you should follow. But does this mean you should renew all of your domains for longer periods, maybe even 10 years each?
Let’s crunch some numbers and find out.
