Can you force someone to give up a domain name?

What do I do if someone wants to buy my domain name?
Figure out a number you’d be willing to sell the domain for, that’s the first thing you need to do. Counter with a price a little higher than that number. If he accepts, you’ll be happy. If he counters with a number lower than that but higher than the number you’d be willing to sell the domain for, still good for you.
