Notes from Chris

Episode 1155
Happy Leap Year, everyone! It’s a bonus day that only comes along every four years. I encourage you to use it well.

Today’s listener is holding onto an asset—a 5-letter domain name. He’s got an offer to sell it for $2,500. Should he take the money and run?
"I've owned a five letter dot.com domain for about 18 years now about it because of a personal connection/in-joke with my brother. But I've never really done anything with it.

Recently, though, I was offered a thousand dollars from an anonymous buyer through GoDaddy services for the domain.

Of course, I thought that was a lowball offer. So I countered with twenty-five thousand just to see what would happen. Today I got a reply to my counter offering twenty-five hundred with a note: “Our buyer's best and final offer."
