I own pandorasbrain.com and want to sell it. Every couple months I get an "offer" for a few thousand dollars, and every time I say yes -- which inevitably leads to the other person replying "actually I don't have the money right now, would you sell it to me for [$100, $200, maybe $400]". ... which I also say yes to! ... and then they disappear and never respond.
I have no idea what this presumed scam is about, but rest assured there are people out here with .coms who want to sell for much less than $10k, but ... nobody's interested!
- jen729w 6y agoI’ve been doing the same with the spammers that ask me if they can send me an SEO report or “generate content for my site” for which I’ll be paid. I respond, eagerly, in the positive. And not one of them has yet responded. What’s the point? Am I just confirming my identity to a bot? And even so ... to what end?
- vmception 6y agoI'm an actual buyer occasionally that has dealt with actual people with no problem. My offers were real. As someone that owns domains names, I haven't really seen this market but I keep whois privacy on I guess.
- pmachinery 6y agoWhen you accept immediately people automatically think their offer was too high and the name (or whatever item) must not be worth it. Next time ask for 20-50% more than they offer.
- jobigoud 6y agoWhat marketplace are you selling it on? I think on some of them like sedo you can set up a fixed price that doesn't involve bargaining and that people can buy instantly if they are interested.
- dmd 6y agoNone. These are cold emails.
