Hey Domainers -

I've always been skeptical of domaining and thought it was a complete waste of time (buying random domain names in hopes one makes it big) but after doing a few days of research and reading the Domain Graduate obviously there is a lot more than what I knew! Man, was I wrong...

I currently own a mere 4 domains that I bought in January for a blog I had so that no one else would have a name similar to mine. Two days ago I parked all the domains on Sedo and have since acquired a massive $0.34!

Today I received an e-mail from a company stating that they were interested in my domain names and made an offer on them, however I am skeptical as the price they offered seems on the extreme high side and I know there is a high risk of scams in this market...any advice is appreciated and I plan to make a post about their offer in the appropriate section on this board.

Thanks in advance for reading and the warm welcomes and I look forward to learning, buying and selling with each of you in the near future!

-Chris

Just found that my "offer" is a common appraisal scam linked to Sedo. Man, scams are everywhere.

Have them make the offer through sedo and that way you are protected by an escrow service performing the sale, it's well worth the 10% fee.

This is your sound advice. You will be smart to question all offers such as you did. I've never been ripped off with a SEDO transaction.
PS I live in Las Vegas as well. Nice to meet ya. Good luck in your ventures and feel free to PM ne with your questions.
