Tips for spammers:

1) Don't use a throwaway email address, it just makes you look stupid, and I don't do business with stupid people their $12.15 budgets.

2) When you make up a name, don't choose an obscene one. Again, it just makes you look stupid.

3) My Whois data has my forsale url in it. If you then spam me at the email used in my WHOIS records, I always know that you're an idiot running a script.

Hi,

Thanks,
Cameron

I know some use them, but they're never the successful business people, there's the ones too cheap to pay the $10 for the domain, or the $10 to set up the email properly. It's an easy way to weed out people that are bad to do business with.

You can also check the email in Google. If it's never been used anywhere, you know you're dealing with a throwaway, so you don't have to waste time on them.

I dont 'necessarily' give or take weight by just the email addy, but more authoritive, the better imo.

And I always like the "My friends always call me by this name, so I thought it would be neat to buy the dot com. Would you take 200 bucks?"

If they were that innocent in purpose,... the dot info would be alot cheaper methinks, no?
