I get emails list this all the time. Most of the time it turns out they are a scam or they don't actually have a buyer but want me to buy their service where they seek buyers for me. Either way, I'm not interested. I always reply: "I only consider serious offers and serious offers are more than $10,000". That always gets rid of the scammers/spammers. Here's why: Websites that do "valuations" of domains tell me my domains are all worth about $100-$200 for the .orgs and $200-$300 for the .coms. Changing my domain would cause me about $x,000 pain for y months (x and y are secret). When a company wants a domain and is serious the absolute minimum they offer is $10,000 (and the max I've seen is $100,000 (verified) or $1,000,000 (unverified)). I don't want to scare away a real offer but I also want to get rid of the spammers and scammers. Tom
