    > I saw your domain listed for sale two weeks ago. I was busy and could not contact you at that time.
    >
    > Is it still available for sale? Have you received any bids from other buyers?
    >
    > If it's still available for sale please email me your asking price.
    >
    > If you have other good domains for sale feel free to email me the full list with asking prices.
    >
    > If I can afford your domain I will contact you. Please don't send me multiple emails if you don't receive a reply from me and keep my email address and our correspondence confidential.
    > Just email me your asking price. If I decide to buy I will contact you as soon as possible.

      I received several similar emails from different company and individual names. Very similar wording though.

          I received a similar e-mail. "Strangely" I never heard back from them after I said that any appraisal would be at their expense and any sales would have to be conducted via escrow.com.

            Ok thanks, I know that appraisals are garbage anyways. A good domain tradesman should be able to value their own domains. Advice is always a + but those garbage auto appraisals are peanuts. Thanks for the heads up
