go with James advice and stick to your guns, i get this all the time by people saying to me "but wordpress is free"
there are 2 things, there is the NEED to sell and the DESIRE to sell, 2 completely different situations.
be prepared to walk away, i've found the sooner you walk away the higher the next offer is. "fear of loss" is powerful, take that which way you want it.

Point them to previous recorded sales in that category and a link to dnjournal with the hobart sale to show the real value of a good domain, they replied so they are interested

True, a good little tool I have been using recently to try and link up auction data is: http://dnsaleprice.com/
you can compare a similar domain and say x has recently sold for $xxxx for example.

Some buyers will need further education, data is a great way to show the benefits of 'other wise buyers decisions'

"Thank you for your enquiry
Unfortunately, notwithstanding your interest in this domain, our views on value appear to be very different & it is highly unlikely that we can negotiate an outcome that would be acceptable to me"

I agree. Don't waste your time. Seriously. Some people have no idea, find someone who actually has a clue.
That said I think it's about time we come together as a community and start compiling some "educational resources" in easily consumable format (ie video) for individuals like this.
What I would give for a 10 minute video that explained in relative detail everything someone buying a name needs to consider before even making an offer.

agreed, i mentioned this in a different post that said we need a "wiki" , the only thing is maintenance on such a thing COSTS time which is money.
at this moment we are all using dntrade for free and its just give and take which is fine, when you head down the path of creating and organising a wiki every one will need to pay for that privilege i believe
( note: i have NO financial interest in DNT )

I agree Chris and something I think is definitely worth working on.
There's a site upgrade in the pipeline, I'll post an update in the next few days.
Cheers,

Hey guys,
I meant it more as tongue in cheek
Of course it's best to just ignore replies like that, as it is so way off that I can't be bothered to waste time to educate the buyer/ tire kicker.
Did provide a few giggles though when I first saw it!
It was probably from a domainer looking to buy and flip it
or maybe a company with deep pockets trying to pick up the name for a bargain would probably go with a reply similar to what acheeva has posted.
