The initial email I received was:

Hello!

I'm a representative of an investor from Lichfield ( (UK). He wants to purchase (domain removed).

My client has $452,000 budget for several domains. You can specify your price in the subject of the message.

We are in a web hosting business. I also help my clients to find domains for their businesses.

Do you have other domains for sale? I work with many clients.

Best Regards,

Martin Wolfbauer


I replied and gave him the price which he replied with:


3888 - Ok.

Before we go further we need only one thing from you:

To avoid potential risks my client needs a certification for your domain.

Certification includes the following:

1. Independent valuation of the market price. It will show your domain
name is not overpriced. On the other hand if the valuation comes higher
we will increase the price accordingly.

2. Trademark infringement verification. It proves your domain has no
trademark problems.

3. Verification of the owner. It proves you are a legitimate owner and
your domain has no any obligations and restrictions. I'm sure that you
are a legitimate owner so it will be only a formality.

If your domain has been certified please email me the certificate and we
will proceed with the sale. If you don't have the certificate it's not a
problem. I may send you a link where you can obtain it. Please don't
worry. It won't take much time and money. It takes 1-2 minutes to order
it. The results will be sent to you within 24 hours. Then you send me
the certificate via email and we'll proceed with the sale.

As a broker I'm very interested in a good valuation part of this
certificate because my client pays me a commission (10-15% of the sale
price) on every domain purchase. So I'm not interested in a low price too.

You can read about the certificate agency at:
http://answers.archive-google.com/archive/threadview179048.htm ("Domain
Broker" is my nickname).

The process is very easy:

1. Go to the certificate agency site and order a certificate. Just
submit your domains and let them know you have a buyer with $X,XXX offer
and need a valuation near this value. After several hours you will get
the results. If the price in your certificate comes higher we will
increase our offer accordingly.

2. Then send these results via email and we'll proceed with the deal.

If you are new to the certification process I can help you with step by
step instructions.
