Morning Folks!!
I get a lot of emails each day looking to buy this domain or that domain.
Since I don't sell wholesale to domainers, my one word answer when I even answer
one of these emails is 'Nope.' Pretty simple and straight to the point.

Most can handle that. Then we get to the ones that can't. They give me a
litany of reasons why I should change my mind and then usually followed by some
low ball offer that shows that even the domainer is clueless. Then I get pissed
at myself for even wasting my time responding.

Sometimes they will offer to even trade a domain. But domainers are not
very good at trading. See when you want the domain that someone else has, you
have to offer in a trade much more than that domain is worth to get to a deal.
In baseball if you want Derek Jeter, you don't just offer another mediocre
player that plays the same position in trade. That would be laughable. You may
offer a pitcher that won 20 games and a rookie shortstop with a promising future
along with 2 draft choices. THAT is a trade and THAT is what domainers need to
learn if they want a successful trade.

$25,000 for a domain won't motivate me. You will get a famous 'Nope. You
want my domain, offer me a domain or several that would enhance my collection.
That would give me a higher monthly return. That would be attractive. Trades
trump dollars. Structured correctly they can be very rewarding for both parties.
But if you want a domain, try offering something substantial in trade.

I learned long ago that the word 'No' is the single most powerful word in
any of our arsenals. Learning to say no is difficult. Then when you get really
good at it, you can say 'Nope' and feel no reason to defend your decision.
That's the audacity of Nope.
