Today's Domain Idiot - GoFuckYourself.com

Got this email today.

No last name, no company name, and from a hotmail address.

Sure, "Cindy", cash or charge?

---

Subject: $50,000 for Grants.com

"Hi there:

Just wondering if you wanted to sell this domain for $50,000. This is a serious offer.

Thanks,

Cindy"

And just because someone emails you from a hotmail address means they cant make you a serious offer? Maybe they dont want you to know what company they own or what business they run because then you will ask 10x what you might have previously considered.

As long as you go through escrow.com, there should be nothing to worry about.

True, you got nothing to worry about if going through escrow.com

True, some will use a hotmail address.

Yes, it is plausible that someone wishes to remain somewhat anonymous.

But at least use a full name

crockett · 02-08-2005, 06:11 PM

nice domain.. ask her how much she will give me for examinees.com

Steen2 · 02-08-2005, 06:12 PM

Cindy yo holla! Where yea been missie?

sickkittens · 02-08-2005, 06:13 PM

Why not at least see if she's legit?

Obviously you're not in the high end domain business. Lots of idiots tie you up in escrow only to buy some time and try and flip an option.

I've done it myself so I know the game.

Yes, "obviously".

You are correct, you know everything.

Hey You . . . I Know You! · 02-08-2005, 06:47 PM

You could accept their offer and complete the transaction, then you would learn "Cindy's" true identity!

Oh wait, then you wouldn't have your great domain anymore. Never mind!

AVM · 02-08-2005, 07:03 PM

Who cares whether the offer is geunine or not. Why? Because regardless if it's legitimate offer or not, $50k is way too cheap for that domain.

Bex · 02-08-2005, 07:31 PM

My name is not Grant ... I would never want that domain. LOL

IPK · 02-08-2005, 07:35 PM

oh that's probably just yakov, he doesn't want you to jack the price when you find out it's him

Heh, I got one of those the other day, some bullshit about preferring to hear my price rather than making offers.

Project-Shadow · 02-09-2005, 02:34 AM

What the fuck is this guy on?

Hello.
I'm interested in purchasing 'domain.com'
Let me know what price you would accept for this name.
Best regards,

I take it he buys lots of big domains?

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 02-09-2005, 02:41 AM

Translation: "Hello! We want to buy domains from people with no clue!"

I am sure alot of domain hawks run around looking for sellers who may have no idea that a domain they could own is actually a valuable one. I am one in the thought that really most people are simply stupid, and I admit that I have always given people more credit than they deserve concerning intelligence. Now its simple. Everyone is an idiot.

mkx · 02-09-2005, 02:42 AM

When I inquire about domains I keep my emails very breif:

subject: domain.com
message: Hi how much are you willing to sell domain.com for? Thanks

If you sound like your from a big company, I figure the response price will be higher.
