Hello.
I received an offer for one of my domain names. I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction for an appraisal and I also want to make sure that the potential buyer is legitimate. This is my situation: The potential buyer contacted me through email (he found the dn listed at Whois). He stated that he was an investor, and he asked me how much I wanted for the dn. I replied back and told him that the dn was listed at sedo and that he could make me an offer there. He emailed me back again with an offer ($7,000) and told me that before we could do business he wanted me to have the dn appraised. In the email he also gave me a suggestion for an appraiser (suggesting I use an appraiser that he and his accountant trusted). First off, I prefer to find my own appraiser. Secondly, I believe that the domain is worth much more than the $7,000 that he is offering. I realize that this is likely the typical lowball figure that can start negotiations. Also, is it best (safer) to have the deal take place at sedo? I am looking for some solid advice from knowledgable domainers. Thanks.

Thank you. I will certainly do that!
Hi HaveDots
I had the same email last week .. and yes it is a scam ...
Hi BB123.
Although I've been collecting some domain names off and on for a few years now, I wasn't too serious about turning it into a business until recently, so I have tons to learn. I joined this forum yesterday to get some advice because I thought the offer seemed shady and too easy. Thanks for your help... it is very much appreciated.
