Hi,
I've received a mail for one of my domains, to the mail adress mentionned in the Whois and I think there are some strange things.
In the first mail the guy says he wants to buy the domain for his company and resell it later to make some funds. He asks my price. I answer I'm considering developing a website but that I may accept an offer half way between the domainer and end-user price, and ask him to make me a proposition.
Then he replies with a typically end-user offer price, but goes on talking about strange things. Like, he wants me to have the domain appraised by independent experts, to be sure he'll be able to resell later. He telegraphs the domain would be appraised higher and that I could increase the price, but that it would be nice to make him a discount.
Well I'd sell at his offer. And I certainly don't want to make it appraise, because I think he's the one who should make it appraise if he wants to secure his investment. So I was about to answer him to make it appraise if he wants, and make me a definitive offer then.
But this is very strange, I suspect danger. Maybe it's alright, but not many chances. Maybe he's trying to make me use appraisal services (he sends me to a thread with appraisal services and wants one of them).
What do you advise me ? His offer is really end-user and I know if it gets appraised by pros their valutation will be just ridiculous (and true) next to this offer.
Thanks
