Ask IH: Who's selling their side projects?

Yeah, that's also a big issue on Transferslot we are facing, and plan to fix soon ; Pricing with too high asking price receive an email with a new offer (which can be perceived as "you don't deserve that much") or refuse it when it doesn't meet our criteria. The last part is also an automated email that is not great : there is no explaining about the refusal, which frustate the potential buyer.

Both these issues will be fixed soon

You are right to be negative, as long as your comment brings arguments to the table :)

And you are right ; When people submit their price, we have a textarea right under it, that says "Explain your price". Too often people says things like "With the right marketing strategy, this project can makes millions".

This is a pain point for us for many reasons that I won't explain here, but the main thing is that it doesn't help both sides ; The seller won't sell, and the potential buyers, like you, will go away.

So we try to track down these, and ask to modify the price (always difficult to ask) but sometimes, we miss one.

So, my turn to ask a question: Do you have a suggestion in mind on how to price the projects being sold on Transferslot? Our current ideas are to

1. Remove the asking price, and choose the price ourselves. Seller would have to accept or refuse, and if they accept, the sale goes live.
2. Remove the asking price, and let the buyer make their offer. The issue here is that buyers will certainly make a lower than expected price, maybe too low.

Do you have another alternative? I'd be curious to know :)
