First off its a scam, secondly the best appraisals you will get are from people here who know what their talking baout, have no vested interested, and have sold a name. Tell them you will not pay for an appraisal. What is the name Micahel Murphy?
Good Luck

Re: domains for sale


Hi there,

I received your ad from http://www.AllForDomains.com via email. Unfortunately I was out of town at that time. Sorry for delay with response.

I run a software development company. Selling & buying names is not my main business. Just another way to invest free money and make some income.

We are interested in BESTSHOPPING.US.

Do you sell a developed site or just domain name? We are mostly interested in domains without web content.


Do you have an appraisal of your domain? We need an appraisal certificate from you before making an offer. Domain name is an investment for me. I'm going to sell your name later and make a profit. If I overpay I won't be able to make a profit in the future.So I need to know the current market vlaue of your name. I guess your are also interested in getting this figure. Without professional appraisal it's impossible to set a right price.

Do you have an appraisal certificate for your name? Please note that we don't trust free or unprofessional appraisals.

Moreover, earlier I had a bad experience with www.Afternic.com. Then I found the following information about Afternic in the forum http://forum.icann.org/nsi2001/3AC75D7900000305.html


To avoid such mistakes in the future I asked about reputable appraisal companies in a well-known webmaster forum
http://domaintalk.ourplace.com/Archive/13477.htm


After we verify an appraisal from you we'll continue negotiations.

How do you prefer to get paid: www.PayPal.com, www.escrow.com, check or wire?

Looking forward to your reply.

does this sound like a scam?

No really it is a scam .. run for the hills on this one!

The person who contacted you is only interested in your appraisal fee. He owns or is connected to the "professional" appraisal company and gets your money from the appraisal/s. He will not buy anything from you no matter what he says.

i have written an e-mail back to him saying that he will have to pay half so ill see what the reply is

also recieved


Hello,

I guess DHCHAT.COM has many "type ins" and can bring me a good traffic. What do you think? I have saved your offer on file. If I don't receive a better offer during the next week
I'll probably buy your name. Have you received any offers already? If your name has really good potential you must receive offers from other buyers.

Best Regards,
Gregor

P. S.
If I don't contact you it means I've accepted another offer.

It IS a scam. Here is my exchange with him and his childish reply (header included):

Hi,

Sorry for possible double posting. I had some problems with my Outlook. I saw your domain listed for sale two weeks ago. I was busy and could not contact you at that time. Is it still available for sale? Have you received any bids from other buyers? If it's still available for sale please email me your asking price in US dollars. If you have other good domains for sale feel free to email me the full list with asking prices. Please keep my email address and our correspondence confidential. Just email me your asking price. If I decide to buy I will contact you as soon as possible.

I run a software development company. We provide custom software development in Linux, Windows XP, MS Access, MS SQL, PHP and Delphi for our clients in USA, Hong Kong, UK and Switzerland. Selling & buying names is not my main business. Just another way to invest free money and make some income.

Hi Jack,

Yes my domain is still for sale. In order to fully appreciate my asking price though, I highly suggest you buy an appraisal. I am an appraisal specialist and can provide this invaluable service for only 59.95 USD.

Please write back soon, I have 28 offers on it and an appraisal will help you decide quickly.

Kindest regards,

Bob Smith

Imagine that, a person who can't formulate a sentence properly trying to suck others into appraising words! His email was initially sent by a Russian ISP through toughguy.net email services.

Don't waste your time. His email format is the same as the other appraisal scams.

The second email looks like a scam as well, as he mentions that he saw your name via Allfordomains.com, which is also part and parcel of the appraisal scam network.
