Rick Schwartz shared what he deemed a successful Domain negotiation. It was quite comical, and illustrates something I have been saying to friends in the corporate world for years. “If you are going to try to buy a domain name, find out who owns the name and see if you can research them.” Because someone would have to be batshit crazy to email Rick and offer $3,000 for a name like BodyCam.com.
I will say I was drinking some green tea that I spit out in laughter when I read the closing line of “You blow them a new asshole, and you ride into the sunset.” That should be the title of a book on domaining, hahaha.
The actual text from a successful Domain negotiation TODAY:
“We are interested in purchasing http://bodycam.com for a small project we have. We have similar domains already but http://bodycam.com would give us a shorter option. Can you please tell me the price of this domain?”
Me: Probably wont work for a small project. Into the seven figures.
“Hi Rick, We would be willing to offer $3,000 for http://bodycam.com”
Me: You’re ridiculous. Beat it. “
The offer is on the table in case anything changes.”
Me: Go fuck yourself
And that’s how you do it! You don’t waste time with jerk-offs! You blow them a new asshole, and you ride into the sunset.
