Do people actually reply to offers to buy thier domains for $50 ?
 

someone sent me 2 emails offering $50 for one of my domains

LOL

Its people perceptions of what the have or what they want

Some people do. When I was 13 I mailed some dude and told him that I wanted to buy his website for $40. He told me to shut the fuck up and never mail him again.

It's funny in the last 2 months I've emailed $XXX offers to buy 2 domains I wanted. They replied saying no, that they wanted to keep hold of the domains to develop them.

Both of them dropped which saved me about a grand.

I've picked up names that dropped. It took patience, but I got them.

There's one name I am eyeing, but the owner and I are still $600 apart on price.

I started with a $300 offer that I raised to $3,000, but he's holding out.

I'll wait until it's coming up for renewal before making another offer :2 cents:

(very) lowball offers have worked for me on numerous occasions

Few years ago I got an offer for $50.
I responded with $7500.
They came back with I already bought another one but if your price ever lowers let me know.
I said probably not gonna happen but good luck with your project.
Week later sold. :thumbsup

Your site is likely one of 10,000 or 100,000 that got that email and even if the buyer only gets 1% to say yes, he walks away with a large amount of new domains at a very low price.

Some domains are only worth $50.

I just pay $7 and sell for at least $7k.

Yes they do, and they especially do if you show you are serious and but all other extensions. Virtually pigeonholes them into wanting to make a deal.

Not sure if I follow you.. why wouldn't people reply to 50$ offer if they think their domain is worth 50$ or less?
I mean it depends on the value of the domain.

Why not? No reply may not result in a sale, no benefit. If the domain is for sale, a reply (high counter) could be beneficial.

To be fair though, Mr Zuckerberg made the right call.
