Once in a while, after days or weeks of the typical low ball offer, it can be a serious good time to just blast the first idiot that crosses the line.
Without further adieu I bring you idiot #2.

Replied just to highlight what an idiot you are. I'm usually very patient
with domain inquiry's, 98% of the time I ignore stupid comments or low ball
offers, then a real lost newbie like yourself comes along and makes an idiot
offer claiming they had the domain appraised...you fing tool, you aren't
even sharp enough to include the name of the appraiser...think I give a rat's
ass the number some unnamed anonymous appraiser
puts on one of my domains...your a complete tool if you think that would
work....I want you to keep your $150, you can use it for lunch money or if
you really thought ahead you could use it as a springboard to move out of
your parents basement....good luck dumb ass...

What you did was make an initial offer with a lame comment:
<< i have had the domain valued and this offer is in excess of that,
please let me know soon as possible if you are willing to sell for this
price as we are looking at another name.
Your intent was obviously to convince me that I should not ask for more than
your mysterious, unidentified appraisal. You then made a statement implying
that you have other choices and are therefore not committed to my domain.
This also was done to in an attempt to influence my asking price.
Yet here you are, still lacking any negotiation skills and still interested
in the domain, somehow those other choices just vaporized I suppose.
Not one to give up on your pseudo strong arm tactics you now think it smart
to threaten me with Icann. I picked up the domain fair and square, you have
never owned it and now you want to try and take it from someone because you
were asleep at the wheel.
News for you champ, you have no rights to the name, get over it. I only hope
you spend the 2k required to find that out
...and you wonder how I ever guessed you were a newbie.
His business partner then replied and suggested that they may have gotten off on the wrong foot. I have yet to reply and don't think I will. Amazing how the price of a domain will rise in relation to an interested party's dickheadedness.
Thinking of starting a regular column of these...
