second chance offer

[grandin]

I note from the numerous bids i get on my domain names that potential buyers suddenly decide not to progress and never put in a final offer......

Do sedo have an option for the seller to go back to the buyer and say......you can have it for your last highest bid?

To me Sedo could quadruple their return with this facility..........or even better make all bids contractual for 24 hrs following the thread stopping

DOn't think theres an auto way but I have asked sedo to contact a buyer for me before. Same I had 2 bidders on sedo auction bidding same price. The winner disappeared so i pointed out there was another bidder at same price and asked them to contact. Sale then went through with second bidder.
I should of got a discount on commission seeing as I brokered it!

You can, as you're probably aware, take a bid and use it as the lowest reserve bid in an auction. That way you've sold the domain at the last offer and any more offers are a bonus. This is the technique I usually use.

In this case we can contact the potential buyer for you.

Kind regards

I didn't know that, thanks for tip! Is this an option from the control panel or do you have to contact sedo?

When you have received a bid, it appears as one of the options on the screen of next steps. It's there by default.

... and you then p1ss off the potential buyer big time who cant retract his/her offer when they realise they have opened the door for you. Sedo don't give this buyer any option to walk away using their automated system.
And to think, that one interested party may have put in 6-8 incremental bids up to that point, giving a distorted impression that the domain is more in demand that it actually is.

Agreed.

If I made an offer that was then sent to auction, then I probably would not go through with the sale if I won.
