closed Help,, Got this email.. what does he mean

[sjp]

I sent a message to a few people and I just got a responce back..


I am selling my domain name...

horticus.com


This is the letter tHello Shawn,

We do not do a lot of internet business, so the domain is not crucial to us.
We may however in the future we may begin interstate business we the web
could be of service. We would consider buying the domain from you at the
current rate listed on Verio/Verisign.


What does he mean by the current rate on verisign?

Thanks...

This is in the appraisal area because it is in regards to value of a domain.

I think they want to pay $35 for it.

the person who wrote to you is an idiot. he is trying to buy the domain from you for $35, the current price charged by networksolutions for a one-year registration of a domain.

Tell him something like this:

"Thank you for your interest in this domain. However, I must inform you that your offer is much too low. If you would like to make a more substantial offer, feel free to do so."

That is how I read it too, the price of the reg fee is what they would be willing to pay you.

His email isn't worth replying to.

I won't even scratch my arse for $35.

LOL... Thank you all for the advice.. I did email him back and tell him that I am open to SERIOUS offers...

I thought it was $35.00 but wanted to make sure.... Thank you again for the advice.

thanks

sjp. Its not a great name. Take 100, and even go as far as creating an invoice (paypal, or whatever merchant acct you use). Tell them, "100 is my bottom line, click here to buy it now". This tactic has worked for me with bad names, that have a nibble.

Thanks for all the advice,,,

I will not sell the name for that anyways... I think I can get at least $100 out of it..

Thanks
