Two days ago I got an email from Domain Trade LLC regarding a domain

to purchase my domain for 50-65% of appraised value and to head to
one of
three offered sites they will accept as appraisers. These sites of
course
cost 20-30 dollars to appraise a site. My first reaction is that
this is a
scam and that the appraisers themselves own Domain Trade. I'll
spend 30 bux
getting an 'appraisal' and then Domain Trade will suddenly not want my
site...or it will be appraised at 3 dollars and I'll get a dollar
three
eighty from the whole thing. Anyone else seen things like this?
You are right to be suspicious and I suspect your assessment is right
on target. The idea of "appraising" a domain name is ludicrous. If you
owned an especially desirable domain you would probably know it already.
