Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to approach this?
I found a mainstream domain I wanted. Both the singular and plural versions of the domain were parked at Sedo. I offered very low $XXX for each one (different owners).
I struck a deal with the owner of the singular version for low $XXX. I think it was a terrific deal.
The next day, I heard back from the owner of the plural version. He countered at mid $XXXX.
I'd rather have the plural, and definitely would like to have it now that I have the singular. But I'm not going to pay $XXXX, even though if you had asked me last week, I would have valued each of them around $1K.
What I'd like to do now is to get the plural guy to realize that I'm not going to pay a lot, now that I have a version of the domain I want --- and that he might as well sell his domain for $XXX since he's not going to sell it anywhere else (he's held it, undeveloped, for almost ten years).
But I'm afraid that knowing I'm going to develop the singular version, will make him hold onto the plural hoping its worth will increase.
Any suggestions? Domain people, how would you react? Any thought are appreciated
