Perhaps it all begins by sending unsolicited email to strangers.
It is a good habit to ask for permission to send email before doing it.
Unless I answer to an ad that invites email reply, I phone or send a brief intro letter, fax or a telegram first and suggest they answer to a specific email address from their official business server.
Who has no own web account + email@that_account.ext is not likely to afford to be in business, but I do accept email from some yahoo and gmail etc. accounts from people I trust.
About the offer itself: Domains have no intrinsic value, but the value that seller and payer agree - Whatever third party estimations and comparisons. It is as with cars and houses: Pay the asking price, negotiate, or forget about it.
Here, the communication was clear:
- Potential buyer and seller have clearly very different ideas about the price of the domain.
- Domain owner is clearly upset for 2 main reasons
a) Because of being asked to sell.
b) Because of the offered price.
c) Perhaps emotions are related to former NP membership issues.
Good business should be built on trust and politeness.
Imho.
