Polite “no” I’ve ever received from a domain inquirer — The most

One potential buyer didn’t get upset when I quoted him a price he couldn’t afford.

Every domain name investor has dealt with angry people inquiring regarding buying domain names.

You quote them a price; they tell you to flip off (or something along those lines).

In the spirit of Christmas, I’d like to share a response I received the prior week following I quoted a $12,000 price for a domain name:

Hi Andrew: Wow. I wish I could, but I can’t at that price. Thank you for your time. I congratulate you on having the foresight to reserve names. I hope you make a bundle.

Sure beats the usual “You’re just a dirty scumbag cybersquatter!”.
