What makes you think that the price is $4,500? In almost all cases, these prices are very negotiable. Keep in mind that the owner probably paid less than $10 for it. Even considering overhead, $200 is a very good return on the sellers investment. Here's how I would go about negotiating the price: Subject: Interested in buying a domain name Date: 2007-04-28 To: squatter1; squatter2; squatter3; ... ; squatter50 I am thinking about purchasing one of the following domains. According to the WHOIS information, you are the owner of one or more of them. If you are interested in selling, please reply back with domain name and the price you want for it. In order to give everybody enough time to respond, I will wait a few days collect the responses I get before I make a decision. I promise I will not disclose your offer to anybody. Thank you! domain1.com - squatter1 domain2.com - squatter2 ... domain50.com - squatter50 Subject: RE: Interested in buying a domain name Date: 2007-05-10 To: squatter Thanks for your reply. I cannot afford the price you gave me. If you still are interested in selling, please reply back with a smaller price. Thanks again! Subject: RE: Interested in buying a domain name Date: 2007-05-25 From: me To: squatter Thanks for your numerous replies. I guess my expectations are unrealistic because I didn't want to pay more than $100 for this project. I am not interested in the other variations (.net, .org, etc.) you offered me. Please let me know if you will accept $100 for just .com. Subject: RE: Interested in buying a domain name Date: 2007-05-30 From: me To: squatter Sorry, $ is too much for me. I will pay $200 if you throw in the other variations too. I want to finish this up soon so please reply back with the payment/escrow information.
