What to look for to save getting scammed /ways to communicate in domain transactions?

[Sabre]

When you recieve an email inquiring about the sale of one or more of your domains, what do you look for to establish the email is legit? How do you approach the sale? Or do you simply disregard any emails you get regarding domain sales these days?

It'd be interesting to find out how many people actually still use email as a source of domain sales. I would presume a large majority of people nowadays to make their sales, but I've personally always found it easier to get the amount I want for my domain via email.

The vast majority of my domain sales still come through emails sent because the buyer found my email address on the whois info. It is fairly easy to spot the scammers from the genuine buyers, a lot of the time I will converse with scammers just to see how much of their time I can waste, the more time I spend e-mailing them, the less time they can spend scamming, plus it is always quite fun watching them trying to wriggle out of corners.
