5 figure sum?

How about 12,000 USD? Ok?

Do you sell the name only without web site? I'm interested in the name so
web site is not so important.

Do you have an appraisal certificate for your domain name?

Domain name is an investment for me. In other words 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. It's very important for you and me to know the current market
value of your domain.

Of course, we must be sure that you are engaging a reputable appraisal
company. I heard many appraisal companies often made inaccurate appraisals.
I will only accept appraisals from independent sources I trust.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies
in a forum
http://domaintalk.ourplace.com/Archive/97015.htm

Just check this posting.

If the appraisal comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly.
I also hope you can give me 10% - 15% discount of the appraised value.

After I get an appraisal from you we'll continue our negotiations.

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

Hope we can come to an agreement fast.

scam

 

[-TV-]

even tho they know it is an old story bu they still keep trying with other people, i receive those every now and then.

They get annoying these emails after awhile, Yet i encourage to always post them or any new variant of them becuase not all domainers who visit namepros are experienced so if one of the new domainers stumbles over a thread like this and is saved from this scam then that is only good.

We must keep up the scammer awareness and stub them out.

that is right , there is new domainers that don't know there is stuff like that going on , but the np covered it, there is a section specially for Warnings & Alerts , i advise new domainers to check it every now and then before they get in the trap

Send them a link back to NamePros, as evaluations are done here, through the diversity of the appraisers, the evals are mostly accurate and definitely trustworthy.

What a great email. I must confess, I have yet to recieve one of these asking for an appraisal. I would just laugh. If a buyer truely wanted an appraisal, it should be them paying for it, not the seller.

Infact, the only use an appraisal has, is it gives the seller a realistic idea of how much he should recieve for the sale of his domain - It does not give the buyer any assurances of the value - because it is the buyer who sets the market - if he is willing to produce a certain price, that is the market value...... economics... silly scammers.

 

[Fewski]

With new domainers coming into the industry everyday, more and more people are falling for the scam. I was taken for this scam when I got into domaining, lost $50. :td:

 

[rome2ng]

i guess this kind of things are pretty common. we aren't going to discuss every single one of them here right ?

the bottom line : Just exercise discretion and caution when dealing with internet property like domain names.

 

[omnia]

Same old, same old, spam & scam

 

[DropLister]

they probably make decent money doing this damn thing too. Booooo.

I love the way they basically repeat the same thing for a paragraph :D

I used to receive a lot of these kinds emails, but lately few arrived. Don't know why.
