Well when he asks for the appraisal he suggests 2 sites to have it done at. My thought is this is some guy trying to get people to come to his sites and make money off of an appraisal. I will get the appraisal and he decides not to buy it. I am sure that is how it will go.
I am not falling for that.
It is just so obvious. I got another email the other day saying it was from citibank saying I needed to put in my atm card number and pin at some .de website so I could verify my email. That was funny. Anybody that fell for that paid a stupid tax.
They aren't going to care what some other site thinks the value is, only what they want to pay. Appraisal services almost always give out numbers that are quite a bit higher (often amazingly so) than what is realistic for the market. So if you pay for an appraisal somewhere odds are good that the number they come up with will be lots more than what they could have paid you to get it (well, assuming you want to part with it at a realistic price).
As a seller, I would not want someone to get the details on my business.
As a buyer, I would need to be confident that I am getting what I am buying.
(Obviously, the business goes in escrow..)
These are for 100K+ businesses though.
Sticky me, we should share notes!
