Hi all, I had a strange email today from a domain agency in China. They would have pulled my contact details from the registry list.
It looks legit but basically saying they have a client that came to them this month in China that is registering all keyword relevant domains for their business.
Apparently they have all the China extension ones (about half a dozen variants) but it appears they would like my .com equivalent which I have had for several years and have a cheap affiliate type website attached to it (my very first website project so rough as and I am not really that attached to but still have it and is live).
They haven't made any offer yet but just putting the feelers out at this stage as a first contact. By return email I said that if they are interested in suggesting an offer that I would review it.
I guess if they want it, it would be worth what ever they are willing to pay for it (though they seem to have gone to a bit of trouble to secure their brand/name/intention).
I have sold a couple of au domains on netfleet when they had aftermarket auctions but if this particular enquiry goes further (and is in fact legit) I think I would like to have an agent of sorts that have dealt with this sort of thing before (negotiating with a Chinese agency to complete a sale and transfer).
So I would like any of your experiences (that you are able to discuss)where you have been approached by an international making enquiries about your domains and who in Australia (or anywhere) would be the best people to handle it.
Thanks in advance
