Check your junk mail for Afternic price requests. (3.Viewing)

Yesterday I was about to clear out my junk mail quickly with a single click, like I usually do, when a "Price Requested on your AfternicDLS Domain" subject line caught the corner of my eye.

I then noticed there was also an email from a GD/Afternic broker asking for my list price and floor price.

Just thought I would give you guys a heads-up as it's not the first time this happened to me and I know it has happened to others as well.

Cheers.

Was it also in your Afternic dashboard/Afternic message section as well?

Yup, the price request was showing when I logged in... but I almost never log into Afternic ever since I started listing everything directly on GD auctions. It's rare that I get price requests from Afternic now that I have everything listed on GD auctions (i.e. almost all my offers come via GD and not Afternic).

Quite honestly I kinda dread getting price requests from Afternic because someone made an actual offer but Afternic won't tell you what it was. They essentially keep you in the dark and force you to set some prices at the same time... so you won't know if the offer was $20 or $2000 (for example). I should have probably asked the broker when I responded to his email, but brokers don't always contact you, and I doubt he would have told me.

I'm also not sure if the broker was hired by the buyer to contact me, but he did ask that I email him my prices and not just input them myself. His email was sent the day after I got the generic price request email, so I definitely wasn't late in responding to the first request (i.e. the first email asked that I included my prices with 48 hours, and the broker contacted me less than 24 hrs later).
