EXCELLENT news. Tell us how you did it!

Thanks ripley! It wasn't really too much more than what I've been doing, gathering a list of possible endusers and sending out emails. The buyer actually responded back with an offer of $2800 which I accepted, but then the stock market went crazy and he said he would have to hold off on a sale. I can certainly understand that, and let him know that I would be happy to eventually proceed with the sale, but that I would still be looking for buyers in the meantime. He responded back offering $2500 right there, right then and I gladly accepted He was honest with me, I was honest with him and it made for a nice, smooth transaction

My emails sometimes vary depending on who I'm contacting, and honestly, what kind of mood I'm in and what happens to fly off my fingertips at that particular moment *lol* But basically I try and keep it simple and straightforward.

Dear XXXX,

My name is Amy Updegrave and I am writing to let you know that I am currently selling a domain name which may be of interest to you: XXXX.com

Should your organization have an interest in aquiring XXXX.com, kindly reply to this message. I am available to discussing pricing and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

I always include my full name, address, phone number and email addy at the end. As I said, every email can vary for me, but they all generally follow the other examples already given right here in the forum, I don't really do anything differently....(but I DO soak up the advice given here like a sponge! *lol*)

Maybe the end user was a diamond/gold/art auction house maybe, otherwise, I'd say it's just right...
