That is quite funny! It sounds like he is sending out emails to what he feels are targeted contacts, unfortunately this is a tactic used in the domaining world that is quite common. As a domainer it is definitely a tactic that I don’t like to use because it sounds like you are trying to sell someone who just purchased a used car with a new one and they haven’t even driven off of the lot yet! I must commend you on the fact that you actually replied to him! When most people send me an unsolicited email I tend to completely ignore it, since this one was about the industry I am in I decided to post it to the blog. If you ever need some advice or insight on someone emailing you in reference to domains in the future feel free to post to this blog!
