I received an direct inbound offer and found it interesting so I thought I would share.
This morning I opened my email to find an offer for one of my domains, a four letter dot org. The inquiry came through the efty landing page.
What I found interesting was that the prospective buyer turns out to be a successful phd and easily found on google. What sort of bothered me was her approach. Here's what she said:
"I have had this domain name for almost 17 years but by mistake let it lapse a couple of months ago. Please sell it back to me!"
Problem is, I've owned it for years. She lied. So here was my reply...
"Thanks for your interest in G***.org. I have owned this domain for years. The domain was previously owned by Roger Raffee and Jim Hall, based in La Jolla, California for their company Global Electronic Music Marketplace. They still own the g***.com domain and wouldn't sell it even though they no longer operate.
I would consider selling the domain to you, but not for much less than $3900. If you are interested or would like to buy the domain or would like to offer a higher amount I would consider it."
I was nice about it but it irked me that she would just straight out lie. The world we live in I guess.
Have you had any?
(Please don't type the domain name in the thread.)
