So this might explain the email I got last week asking my price for the domain name of another site I own, ecourbanist.com. I suspected a phishing scam, and was about to hit the delete button, but then thought, what if it’s real?
I decided to answer with all the business acumen I have accumulated through the years. I said I thought half a million dollars sounded about right. But then my heart got the better of me. No wonder I’m not in business. I just want people to be happy. So I mentioned I might settle for a mere
$475,000.
Oddly, they haven’t written back. Link to the BBC story:
