funny offer received

[seeker]

yesterday, I received an offer from someone regarding a domain I have.
I replied that I was accepting low $xx,xxx offers.

his reply made me laugh for hours. I stil laugh when I read it (I hope he is not a member here) :cheeky:

so he says 'can you make me a better offer. I am not a businessman, but a domain collector. I have no use for the domain, I will just collect it'.

LOL!!
Man, that is original. a domain collector???
whats he going to do, print out a certificate of wonership and hang it on the wall?
I understand stamp collecting, and lots of other things, but a domain collector with no use for the domain, just to collect?

LOL! kinda like an antique collector? maybe I will keep it maybe I won't?

it will first ask u whether u prefer paypal or escrow etc. etc. and then...

I had no idea this was part of the appraisal scam.

the name itself is very high profile...
my reply is funny, I'll post his/her reply as soon as I get it.

It could actually be a hobby for filthy rich & extremely bored individuals.

Lol :-D - Well, I'll buy that for a dollar! arty:

That's better than the guy who told me he just wanted to help out his site visitors. Yeah, baby. Just looking to be helpful.

I would agree with you but if they were "filthy" rich and such, then Seeker's proposal wouldn't have been an obstacle.

I have dealt with the extremly rich and they bow down to no price, which makes me kick myself afterwards.

This is definitly a scam.
