Buyer Contacted Me.... Advice ?

[accuname]

Had a buyer send an inquiry email about one of my .nets from a gmail account. Pretty straightfoward email= "I see you aren't using the domain, it might be good for a project I'm working on, how much you want for it".

Should I just reply "make me an offer" ?

Sure why not? Unless you have a specific price in mind thats fine.

I second him.. tell him, make an offer. But If you want certain amount of money just shoot. It's demand and supply, no worries.

Sound to me like a domainer.

Best answer.

It actually looks like spam that has been going around ... It may actually be a buyer - But several people have been getting the same email word for word lately So I'd assume it is sent out in mass amounts.

"I see you aren't using the domain, it might be good for a project I'm working on, how much you want for it".

Thank you for your thread.

hmm... I m afraid you will be as disappointed very soon as I am now.

You save me the trouble to reply to the mail I've just rev.'ed...very similarly written.

Let me guess...The title goes:

FOOBAR.com inquiry

It is the scam e-mail I believe...was it a "small project", and did he want to "take it off your hands?"

 

[Porte]

Why such spam is sent? Trying to scam you in appraisal or something? Odd..people should do something useful.

I got the same email as well....

Hello,

I noticed you aren't using SampleDomain.net. It might be a good fit for a small project I am working on - how much do you think I could take this internet address off your hands for?

email that it came from.

I replied with "make an offer", but never heard back

Yup, that's what it was. Word for word and same email address. Wonder what the point of it is.

 

[domainer50]

Hmm thats interesting. Why would someone do this? I dont understand the scam? If he sends you the money how do you get scammed?

 

[Silhouette]

Why would someone do this?

search "appraisal scam"

 

[Sameh]

May he is willing to pay with STOLEN Paypal account ..

 

[dnb8]

I think that he want to find somebody who will give him domain for free.

 

[domainer50]

search "appraisal scam"

Ahh yes. I once had someone email me inquiring about a name. I went along with it and tried to negotiate but said he would only buy with an appraisal from some site. I never did he and he never bought it.

Hi,

currently that dont sounds like some kind of scam*.
If you have some amount in mind i would reply with that,
if not you can try with "make offer". But i think your chances would be better with an amount.




* Simply follow rules -> 1. No appraisal needed ; 2. No paypal payment.

Unless its a several thousand dollar deal your not using escrow. Obviously no appraisal. But when everyone gets the same e-mail it seems a bit fishy.

 

[Dotmainer]

Sounds for me like some developer / domainer
who have list of domains he would use, sending to all inquiry.

If he get some nice gems or price what is acceptable for him,
he decides for that domain.
(that would explain why he dont reply to "make offer" mails)
