I sent him instructions on how he could pay and this was the email he sent back:
Third Email:
In order to process with the deal I need two small things to be accomplished.
1. I need a professional evaluation (appraisal) from you.
It should be from an independent evaluation company. I don't trust automated services from companies I've never heard about.
Without a professional evaluation we both cannot be sure in the final sale price. It will minimize the investing risks.
2. I need the evaluation service with a trademark verification. It's important for us to know that you domain has no problems
with trademarks. Some evaluators include this option in the appraisalsal service.
I asked in the forum about reliable evaluation services. Please read this information:

If the evaluation comes higher you can change your asking price. After you send me the professional evaluation via email (usually it takes one day to obtain it) we'll be doing business.
What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?

I just want to make sure no one get's caught up in this scam.
BTW, I have not heard back from them since my last email.
Hope this helps you guys!
