Got an offer - Does it seem ok?

[johnhoffmann]

Just got an offer on one of my domain names: greatpension.com. The mail I recieved looks like this:

Hello,

Our company develops software so domain investing is not our main
business. Just additional way to generate income.

Please email me price for your domain name mentioned in the subject
line. If it's reasonable we'll do business.

If you have other domain names for sale please send us the complete
list with prices for consideration.

I'm a very busy person so it may take several hours before I respond

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,
Jon Hegglund
President
Opera Software


I checked out Opera Software's website, but as far as i can see the president is not called Jon Hegglund. Since I am new at this I would just like to know, if there is anything I should look out for. Any suggestions as to what price i should put on the domain name?

That is a SCAM, he wants you to pay for an appraisal, he has no intention of buying your domain, according to this thread:

Thanks. I had a feeling that something was not right about this guy. I will mail him back and tell him that the domain name is for sale for a lapdance...

Don't lose your time with those pathetic people. It's not a good idea to reply to scammers/spammers. At the best you'll end up receiving even more spam :yell:

 

[johnhoffmann]

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Got an email from the same source with different email address [email protected]
This is what I replied:

Get a life and stop scamming!
