      | Funny inquiries / replies I remember there was a thread here about funny replies on our e-mails and inquiries. Can't find it, so want to create this one. Yesterday got an offer via Sedo on one brandable .com (it was $500). I countered with a $2400 and got a counter in ammount $500 (again) with, I think, funny and creative comment: "Hi. I would like to buy your domain name for my wife. (its her nickname!) Please sell it to me for 500 ( I dont even know why i offerd that much. Thank you!"  Well, I didn't read the comment (cause it was under review) and cancelled the negotiations. In 1 hour I've got an e-mail from a guy interested in the same domain. And it was normal inquiry (without mentioning his wife). ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/the-break-room/741647-funny-inquiries-replies.html Nick

      | LOL my reply would have been like this: Now is the opportunity to prove to your wife how much you love her

  | Got many like that. Best one was one guy offering me 60 USD for a CVCV.com and when I countered it with 5K he sent me 65 USD offer. When I cancelled the negotiations he found my whois and emailed me asking me did I pressed the cancel button by mistake? and would I like him to resend the offer. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=741647 I replied to him that No it wasn't by mistake and I am not planning to sell it. To which he emails back telling me how he lives in canada which is still under some british rule etc stuff and can't I make an exception in this one. When I denied it he started playing it hard way. Told me it was my last chance to sell it for 65 USD or else I will be making a loss of renewal fees on it every year. Explained me how to do my business etc  To which I said I don't care if I make a loss but I don't want to sell it. That's it. 3 months later he is still whining and I have stopped replying.

       | A guy looked up my whois on a domain and sent me an offer of $10. I wrote back and politely declined the offer. He wrote back, "I don't think you understand. I'm actually offering you money for this piece of sh*t domain."

| I don't remember which domain it was in particular, but a year or so ago, I received an offer through an email, got it through whois, and this lady offered me 30$ for a .com that I later sold for over 500$.. when I declined her offer, she replied back with "Why not? You can get like 3 more for that money" haha |

 | Funny how people can make up a story just to get what they want. Its a hit or miss, but most of those insane stories are funny. I don't have my own to share but I might in the near future! Zidane
