Hi.
I received this email and wasn't sure how they even got me email.
What is the purpose? To just get you to pay for an appraisal and
then decline the domain purchase?
Should I have not responded?
This is the correspondence so far?

And my response:
Hello, Mr. Rancour.
Thank you for your interest.
My asking price is $750USD.
I look forward to your response.
And his return response:
750. Ok.
Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?
Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.
Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust. To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies. Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers:
http://webtalk.007sites.com/Archive/425389.htm If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount.
After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations.
What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?
Hope we can come to an agreement fast.
Looking forward to your reply.
I am very new to this and am very glad I did a search on the "easynamesale.com" Maybe I've averted a minor disaster?!
Thanks for your help...
