Can you accept 25,000 USD?

I have a 100,000 USD budget for 10-15 domain names. Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? Without a valuation certificate we cannot be sure in the sale price. Moreover, my accountant and tax services always ask for valaution certificates :-). On the other side, it's very important for me in terms of reselling too. Of course, we must engage a valuation company with a REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my accountant trust.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies. Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers:
Domain Talk

If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount.

After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations. Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name? Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.

What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?

Hope we can come to an agreement fast.

Looking forward to your reply.


as you can see the scam is still alive and choking :P

Seems blatantly obvious that this is a scam but I have heard of some new domainers falling for it in the past. Thanks for the heads up . Hopefully nobody else gets taken by these guys.

Thanks for letting us know.I recently received a similar email The scammers scan websites like Sedo and SnapNames for new domain listings and this is how the scammer reaches you.They offer a large sum of money for the domain name and wait for you to reply.If you reply they will tell you they are interested in the domain but cannot pay any money for it without a third party valuation service.
The scammer will then tell you to pay for the valuation service .After you have paid the valuation service the scammer no longer responds to emails. You have actually paid fir their valuation service.

Therefore,be careful!

the rules are "very complicated" - they don't just apply to helmet touching helmet and the definitions of what makes a defenseless player is complicated too:
