but he's insisting I need to go get "high quality" certified appraisals for these things.

If he wants appraisals, he can pay for them.

Sounds very close to being the usual "pay for appraisal" scam where the appraisal company is connected with the person who claims to be interested in buying the domains.

I would not take that "buyer" seriously.
