I’ve replied back, I’m selling it for $500 USD - he agreed but..
Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?
Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.
Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It’s very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust. To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies. Please check this blog:http://domainmarket.007sites.com/Archive/419570.htm If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount.
After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we’ll continue our negotiations.
What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?
Hope we can come to an agreement fast.
Looking forward to your reply.
I’ve told him, you pay for the appraisal I sell, I’m not going to make any investment since you are the buyer.
Sellers always provide buyers with valuations. This is a common practice.
I don’t trust $14 services like that GoDaddy’s valuation service. Nobody will do a research for $14. We need a real manual service.
I researched several companies and here are the results: I considered www.Afternic.com, but now it’s clear their service is not reliable enough.Just read this:

Capsule Review: After lots of complaints, Afternic is no longer a recommended service. We will re-review the service in the near future.”

Thanks for letting me know it was a scam
[...] I e-mailed him back, but I was immediately suspicious in part because the price of my domain was listed on Sedo. I googled him and found this: http://www.scorpiono.com/the-daily-…mers-good-deals [...]
I get a lot of those scam artists trying to sucker me into getting an appraisal. Thanks for writing this post. Everyone needs to be warned of these scammers.
BTW, I use moniker for domain appraisals. One of the few recognized by the IRS.

Not sure how much this comment will help you sell, but I’ll keep it here, it’s 4 AM, too lazy to edit it.
