So, I received an offer on my domain name tonight (jordanyoung.com). Someone who is also named Jordan Young wants it and offered me $850 for it. I paid about $250 to get it from some one else about a year ago. Should I do it? I went through a lot to get it, and it is really great to have as a professional domain. But damn, I could buy some sweet mods with that money! But at the same time, I don't want to be a damn sell out. But then again, I could spend the money on a sick computer or a new camera and some lenses. The kid kind of comes off as an ass in his emails though, which makes me not want to give it to him. Obviously I can't decide what to do!

Since this is a car modification enthusiast forum, I know you guys will be a bit biased and urge me to sell :smile:. So I'm going to post on some other forums as well.

Maybe I should counter-offer like $3,000, no way I could pass THAT much up.

Thanks for the input.

$3,000 seems a bit unreasonable. Even $2k. But you could offer that up. Maybe first tell him that $850 is too low and to come back with something more reasonable. :lol:

Is jyoungphotography.com taken? Or stuff similar?

LOLZ

The name is more common than you might think I guess. There's also a gay pornstar named Jordan Young. I know because I can never beat the fucker's rank on google, he's all over the place. I also originally purchased the domain from a gay porn video dealer :shock: No joke.

Shazzap, ask your GF if she wants to try and outbid this guy, LOL.

I guess I'm going to ask him to offer some more. There's other domains I can get, but I'm in the process of changing the page to a full fledge graphic design/illustration portfolio page that I can use to apply for jobs and stuff. So I don't know what other name would be professional, I guess I can use my middle name too or something.

Here's the first email he sent me:

Hello,
Hi my name is Jordan Young I have the same name as you obviously. Iam contacting about the website you own
www.jordanyoung.com (http://www.jordanyoung.com) It doesnt look like your doing a lot with the domain and I would like it for blogging that I would like to start doing full time. If you are interested in selling it or if your not using it and you need someone to take it off your back please let me know.

So yeah, I get the asshat impression from him.
