I have owned the domain name www.buybiltong.com for the last three years, I had dreams, but other things happened......
Anyhow, I got an email recently from a chap in London asking me if I wanted to sell the name, Gee! This has'nt happened to me before. I don't use the domain name at the moment, turns out they own the domain names, www.buybiltong.net and www.buybiltong.co.uk and now want the .com also.........
I was gonna leave it, but then the chap phoned me in Oranjemund this afternoon, all the way from London, nice enough chap, offered me 400 Pounds for the name....
400 pounds = 4400 Rand,
I have spent 3900 Rand on the webspace and domain name for the last three years,
what should I do...? Sell it, ask for 700 Pounds? ..Keep it?
Anyone?
are-you-there
Did you tell the guy you had other offers as well? I think he 'll have to up his offer a little. Nice chap ok, but you cant give it away for less than your previous offers....

Told the guy that it was a dream of mine, I wanted to build a site selling Nambiltong...
He even offered to set me up with a new domain name of my choice....
500 plus new domain setup will be mine price
I sent it back to the guys, asked for 700 GBP, i was'nt gonna sell it anyway, so if they want it, thats my price..... lets see how it goes....
What's the cost of installing a pool in my garden Mike.........??????. What you get for your domain might be enough for you to put a pool in for yourself. image21
Nope the guy ain't budging, well, made the day more interesting and I get to keep my dream........

You could have made R4400, now you gonna pay another R3900 for the next three years.. ?
You should of accepted the 400 pounds and told him you'd need the price of a ticket for both yourself and your good wife to pop over and shake on the deal.............Next time wait for advise before you make any managerial decisions ThatStinks2

Michael that was a good price for the domain..just looked at some domain names buybiltong.co and more and they are going for 24.00 pound for a year....I would of bit his handoff for that price...
You get free online services that give you an approximated value on domain names.... I was blown away at the value that was placed on a domain name like buybiltong.com to buy a domai name first time around is cheap, you can pick them up for R50 these days, in my case I bought buybiltong for R250 and renewed it every year for R50...... keeping the webspace was the expensive part..... R99 per month...
@Stennie, I use the webspace for test forums and was planning a small forum for local based people with an interest in PC's , kinda like a local P2P private network...Everyone would have a Simpson character name....
