    sedo , escrow is better to choose.

    its better to tell us abt amount and how it got offer. also careful abt appraisal scams

    It's when the other party tries to get you to use a domain valuation company before agreeing to complete the domain transaction (they usually have some kind of vested interest in the domain appraisal company). See more info here.

    Yes, he is asking to be get appraised by specific company, and that company website does not look trust worthy, I think its a scam mail.

    Anyways I will reply him to deduct the appraisal cost from 2500$ and buy it if he is interested.

    Thanks for helping me out..

    Yes Kuldeep, tell them you do the appraisal and deduct the amount from $2500 and send the rest to you

    This scam is going on from the last 5-6 yrs, there must be people falling for it, otherwise it would have stopped long back. Its like the 419 scam in the domain world

    Thanx
