Hello,

We invest in domain names. What is your price for the domain name?

We have a solid budget but we offer reasonable offers only. We will not
overpay. If you have other domains for sale feel free to send your list.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,

George Hamilton

So after replying i asked him to make an offer

here is his second email

Can you accept 5,000 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:

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.











THIS TIME i just replied i will sell it to you for 50$

i don't think he will reply back LOL

I am dealing with the same person for the past 2 or so days and I decided to google him and found this, which am glad I have done so as this idiot needs a good beating for i offered him my porfolio at a discounted price of 1300 and he comes back with an offer of 5000 so i know something was fishy especially with the contineous copy and pasted emails, his an absolute SOB who needs his head kicked in.
