So, I can't tell if this guy is trying to scam me or what.

A person contacted me about one of my domains. He did not make an offer. I named a price. He didn't seem appalled or anything but demanded that I get it appraised before he makes an offer. However, the three places he accepted appraisals from cost over $60 a piece. I suggested that I get it appraised at a cheaper place. His response was 'cheap cannot be good'. So, I guess what I'm wondering here is - is this standard practice? Why would a cheaper appraisal not be good? And, is it possible this guy has a deal with the 3 places he suggested I get the domain appraised? Should I go ahead and get it appraised, although I have no guarantee that he actually will make a reasonable offer, just a flimsy statement that he will make an offer when he sees an appraisal certificate?

Dont pay for an appraisal this is 1 of the many scams going around. Search the forum for scam and ull many threads explaining about this

by the way did his email address end in rock.com?

All scam..!!!
Just ask such wannabe 'Buyers' that they can get the domain appraised, if interested, and deduct the 'Appraisal Cost' from 'Sale Price'.... This is the only & perfect answer to such scammers...

Hi there Johnny, I would probably say that this is a scam. Most email contacts that require an apprasial service before purchase is spams!

lol. ok, thank you people, a bunch. It certainly is sounding more like a scam. Glad I didn't get sucked in. His email address didn't end in .rock - it ended in LivSnyter.com...the website is in some pidgin dutch or something that I can't translate.

Darn. I was kind of excited that someone wanted one of my domains, lol. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks again, you guys have been helpful.
