Don't be a sap!

Something stinks here:

"Hi, we're a $20,000,000 company and we'd like to buy your domain for $8"

PLEASE.

1. They are stupid for telling you they are that big unless they are trying to force you to give up the name.

2. They will pay you $2000 easy because that's what it would cost them just to file WIPO.

3. Sounds like they are trying to reverse hijack the domain and your price just doubled. Screw them and make them pay...and they will pay.

Maybe not the Joe Shmo making the first call but they will pay. Try to deal with the boss, the decision maker. If you want $20,000 and Joe Shmo is some low level marketing guy, he can't agree to that price.

Tell them you'll sell but not cheap. Make sure you go through escrow com.
