after tht if we reply then he suggest us some paid online appraisal services like




As a seller you should provide me with an appraisal first. This is a reasonable practice.

I've found not all the appraisals are accurate. So I accept real manual appraisals from trusted sources only.

I don't trust $14-$20 services. Nobody will do a research for $14. We need a real manual service.


As to the most known brands: the more orders the company gets, the less time
they can afford to spend on each appraisal.

I wanted to use AccurateDomains.com or Afternic.com but looks like this
company has a bad reputation. Afternic's appraisal service has a lot of bad
reviews.

I was told about manual research service from DomainMart.com. It
costs - $200/hour.

Many experienced sellers suggested us certifieddomainvalue.com
as a trustworth manual service. They charge about 50 eur name not per hour.
We've read only positive comments about them. And I have my own positive
experience with this company and their support.


if you get email like this, just ignore him or block him .

Yes, this is old .. that dude SPAM alot.
