But on the darker side of negotiating domain purchases..

I will gladly assist a customer negotiate a purchase, for a fee, but handover to them for the final payment stages. Customers will agree to anything, until they have to cough up the $$. I had a previous customer who was "desperate" for a 2 keyword TLD .com domain. After weeks of negotiation, we settled on a price, but my customer got cold feet, and backed out, leaving me holding the ball. I still invoiced them for my time, which they refused, so we parted ways.
Weeks later the domain owner contacted me, seeing if I was still interested, and quoted a reduced offer. After all the research and time I had put into the domain, I decided to buy it for myself
