598935 2007-10-07 02:13:00 I just got mail offering me $5,000.00US for my domain name.

Is this for real? :eek:

598936 2007-10-07 02:48:00 It depends who's offering. It happens though, and it could well be real if you have a great domain name. Accept the deal if you want to, and only release the domain once you've received payment. george12 (7)
598937 2007-10-07 03:53:00 Makes me wonder . . I got this name, which is quite like the s/n I use here, and there was no problem getting it just a year or so ago .

If they wanted it they shouldda beat me to it then .

It looks like a recording company wants it . . .

I also own one with Hendrix in it . . and it's pretty close to a root name without any numbers and no symbols .

It was just sitting there all alone and I got it . :blush: So far there have been no offers on it though . . . the other one is making a stir .

598940 2007-10-07 05:08:00 Take them up on the offer - quickly! Greg (193)
598941 2007-10-07 05:13:00 I had a letter a month ago for $2,500.00 and now for $5,000.00

Thought the first one was a hoax..this is #2 now..so I am paying attention

598944 2007-10-07 06:34:00 As we all know there are companies that specialise in buying up domain names that people may want later like Ford, McDonalds etc (ha ha).

I have a .co.nz website and I would love to get the .com version but some company in New York has had it for 8 years and is not using it !

Did they send you a physical letter or just an email ?
