I received an email from a potential domain buyer with email address <!-- e --><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><!-- e -->.

After stating my price of 5000 EUR following reply came:

Can you accept 4,800 угкщ,

Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals.
Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too.
But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I trust.
To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies in a forum

Just check this posting.
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 valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations.

I had suspicion from that moment that the interest for the domain is not genuine but I continued the communication and suggested that they should pay for the appraisal if they need it and asked for explanation of their ridiculous 4,800 угкщ offer.
The "buyer" insist that I should order the appraisal and did not explain his offer in two following emails.
