Here's this week's Top Topics
How Do You Accept An Offer Without Appearing Eager?
Have you ever received an offer that's so good that you can't refuse it? An investor has shared their story of receiving a $1,000 offer for a domain name they listed on a marketplace for $995. Needless to say, the investor accepted the offer.
But did they accept it too quickly? Within 10 minutes of the offer being made, the investor accepted, leading the potential buyer to immediately lower their offer to just $150.
Is there such a thing as accepting an offer too quickly? If so, how long should you wait before accepting an initial offer?

Should You Ever Respond to a "No Thanks" Email?
If you've ever conducted outbound domain sales, you may have received a "no thank you" email from one of your prospective buyers. This is usually considered to be the end of the conversation, with further contact deemed to be irrelevant.
However, @AlphaToday has created an email that they are using to reply to a "no thanks" email. To view the email, visit the discussion, linked to above. What are your thoughts on this practice?

Let's Talk .BLOG
One of the most highly anticipated new gTLDs is going to be released to the general public soon. The extension, run by Matt Mullenweg, the creator of WordPress, has received a lot of positive feedback from both domainers and end users.
With .BLOG's general release fast approaching, a discussion has been created to talk about the good and bad points of .BLOG. Some comments so far include the high registration prices for many of the most sought after domains.
