Lol, got this message yesterday:
Its the kind of inquiry my gut instinct says, don't even respond...
The domain is a 4 letter word, and after a couple of minutes of research, I see the dude filed a crap load of trademark variations on "XXXX {word}" (where XXXX is the domain).
So I decided to respond with a "not really looking to sell" although I should have said "choose one of your other options".
He comes back with a "OFFER: $750 CAD"
Woah big spender, don't flash all that cash or you'll get mugged! Lol.
Any case, just thought it was a good example of how _not_ to start in domain negotiation... I know from my perspective, if you put me on the defensive right away, then I'll be polite to your face but be a real dick when it comes to negotiating!
