Beware of this new domain appraisal scam:

Sender: [email protected]
Subject: yourdomain.com (sent 08/21/09)

Hello,

Are you interested in sale of your domain? Please name your price.

We are in hosting and domain business. But we are very interested in Internet names and web sites too.

If you have other domains for sale feel free to send your list.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,

Daniel Whitham

CEO

I asked the sender to make an offer through Sedo.com but he replied with this:

Can you accept 1400 USD?

Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?

Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.

Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies.

Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers:
Domain Talk

If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount.

After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations.

What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?

Hope we can come to an agreement fast.

Looking forward to your reply.
