Moral Dilema: Someone wants one of my domain names.

[everman]

If he offers a pretty good price, counter offer higher and eventually settle on his original price. That way he thinks he got a good deal

 

[Ornery]

Maybe I'm a sucker, but he seems like a decent guy. I'd try to work something out with him for just a nominal fee to cover my costs.

There's no moral dilemma here. It's your domain: you're free to give it away or sell it at any price you name. Pick one.

 

[compuwiz1]

If you don't need it, give the guy an opportunity to pay what he feels "it's worth to him". Nothing of value is free. He must pay something for it, or he won't feel like he won. Really though, he seems like a straight up guy. In my shoes, I'd want to help him out.

Royalties are another option. Tell him, ok, you've got it, free for now, but when your business turns a profit, I want 2%, 5%, or whatever.

 

[m2kewl]

tell him to buy you a canon 5D

 

[NakaNaka]

It's not a moral dilema but I would sell it to him for a reasonable price.

 

[Kyteland]

He can't even spell negotiate correctly. Stick it to him.

 

[EvilYoda]

I like the idea of trading for a piece of furniture...then you'll have something interesting to talk about in your living/bed room

 

[imported_booradley]

Why is this a "moral dilemma"? Its called selling something. Name a price.

 

[jjones]

Sell it to him for whatever price you paid plus a little extra for the trouble.

 

[MrDudeMan]

if it were me...id probably give it to him for what it intially cost me to set it up and nothing more. you guys wanting to steal the clothes off of his back are insane. its a website address.

I like this idea.

 

[ponyo]

I know this isn't 1998-2000 but I wouldn't sell even for $1300. That's chump change.

 

[Chewy]

Yeah, I'd get a piece of furniture, but if you dont' need one, sell it.

Best response!

 

[Jimmah]

Why not just have him get you a new one and give him the old one?

I don't want a .US domain.

I think next step will be to ask him what he thinks a fair offer would be for the domain.

Trading for one of his pieces of art may cost him a lot more depending on how he's sourcing for materials. I would simply spit it out for $350. It's mutually beneficial in that you're making a bit of cash and he's making a good investment with a guarantee in return. It's like giving business an advert space. Any idea what kind of price ranges he's selling his products for? You can sorta adjust based on that. If he's selling hand crafted chairs for $200, he's not making any money. On the otherhand if they're expensive (over $500 a piece) then definitely charge him a solid amount.

He does customer built stuff. Some fancy stuff too. Not just tables and chairs but bunkbed frames and stuff too.

 

[GTaudiophile]

The stuff I see on his site starts at $650.00.

Why don't you decide what is a fair offer and tell him?

 

[thirdlegstump]

Hm..I'd charge $1000 easily in that case. He'll make up for it in no time and still thank you for it.

What I meant was, have him set you up with something totally new and of your choosing, then give him the old one. Then get him to give you a serious discount on some furniture.

 

[EyeMWing]

Is it IN USE?

If so, $arm+leg

If not, $200.

I was thinking around $2K

$2000 = $1250 + $600
