It depends on the domain name and your inital offer
Nice generic and offering £50 might get a 999,999 reply!

LLL.Net with low uv, I offer mid $xxx to try and open discussions knowing true value is high $xxx to low $xxxx get back a £50,000 counter offer. Domains like it drop and auction on Snapnames every day for $800-850 and I mean every day.
Why?
a) they do not want to sell
b) they have no understanding of the value of what they have and think $50k is reasonable
c) they have no understanding of the value of what they have and think my offer was insulting

i appreciate they want my offer upped but surely $49k is nuts, what would they ask for the .com
this is just an example too, I've had about 6 this weekend. maybe the sellers are happy to have them sit on Sedo forever :???:
Domain prices have been consistantly going up so there is no incentive to sell at current market value to fellow domainers
there's a batch of 4 on dnf at minute for $3800, he'll take an offer too i'd guess, if you're after that kind of thing (not mine btw
)Had an offer today for a LLL.co.uk domain of $60 
Went back with a £x,xxx counter offer.
They replied with $100 and "This is my final offer".
Jokers, cancelled negotiations.
I particularly like the 'Justify your asking price' replies, maybe SEDO can provide sellers with a 'Tell me your budget' option when replying to bids

I personally find it irritating to receive $30 dollar offers on domains that make that a day or even week. So I just send back a huge counter offer as a message that says "f%ck you buddy, you are either 1) A retard or 2) Think I am". Since there is not an option that allows a text response.
