I get emails list this all the time. Most of the time it turns out
they are a scam or they don't actually have a buyer but want me to buy
their service where they seek buyers for me. Either way, I'm not
interested.
I always reply: "I only consider serious offers and serious offers
are more than $10,000". That always gets rid of the
scammers/spammers.
Here's why:
Websites that do "valuations" of domains tell me my domains are all
worth about $100-$200 for the .orgs and $200-$300 for the .coms.
Changing my domain would cause me about $x,000 pain for y months (x
and y are secret). When a company wants a domain and is serious the
absolute minimum they offer is $10,000 (and the max I've seen is
$100,000 (verified) or $1,000,000 (unverified)).
I don't want to scare away a real offer but I also want to get rid of
the spammers and scammers.
