This morning I got a reply to my email that my domain was sale. They basically asked me "why do you own the domain"? Im kinda baffled by that question. How do I reply?

just say you bought it for a web project but your plans have changed and you no longer need the domain so you are selling it to someone who can use it.

Could you post the actual email in here?

To answer his question, as suggested, just tell the guy that you bought, aren't using it, and are trying to sell it. You really needn't be verbose or detailed or elaborate. Just tell him those basic things. And of course, try to see if he's interested.

Very true. Ya gotta watch out for these things.

Depends on the domain. If it is a valuable domain they could be trying to establish that you have no legitimate purpose for the domain.

This is particularly true if the domain resembles a trademark and you are asking more than about $1500.

With this of course:

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

personally I would just ignore an email inquiring something such as this. Someone genuinely interested in your domain will most likely use more tact / make an offer.

LMAO@Brujah. This is the key to getting ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS for a domain.

@chillaxin: it is sort of a weird question, but think of it as a variant of the "why do you want to sell it?" question and answer accordingly.

Very true, because anyone whom questions the validity of your ownership, likely believes that you are attempting to take advantage of them in some way.

You're ALWAYS planning on developing the domain.

"It's a web project of mine that I have put a little bit of work into, but have not yet completed."
