Why is there a minimum offer amount?

The minimum offer amount pricing option allows domain owners to set a low pass filter on their domains to prevent them from receiving low offers that are not of interest to them. If you cannot offer an amount which meets their minimum offer, then your offer is not of interest to them. If you do meet the minimum offer amount, the seller is not required to sell their name unless either the reserve or asking price has also been met. Some owners do not specify a reserve or asking price and are simply using our site to accept offers which they may or may not accept at their leisure.
