Subject: I want to buy giraffes.com as a present

Message: Howdy,

My son is in his senior year at the University of Texas and he's always talking about this business he wants to get in.

I was wondering if you would sell me giraffes.com so I could give it to him as an early graduation present.


Signed,

My response:

Boy that's great, you must really love your son alot since you want to buy him a domain worth 100k.
Nice grad present, I wish I had you as a dad.
We can use escrow.com, Let me know when you are ready to proceed.

On an aside: I wonder what type of business the son will start, did he get a degree at U of T on how to sell giraffes. ROFL

I'm going to laugh if this turns out to be true AND you get your 100k.

He could have been a biology / mammalist graduate.

I got one from the same guy.

He positions himself as a major oil executive, in order to get responses.

His website looks good at first glance, but then you realize he is saying very little unique to him or his "oil company."

haha, someone should make a site with all the stupid emails people send in some vain attempt to get a deal.

I has same story with a .com girls name where he was buying it as a gift for his 10-yr old daughters hobby site so could not pay much. Even sent me a picture of the girl. When I told him the .org was good for that kind of site and was also unreg'd he became negative.

Didn't you have that happen with Elephant.com too?
