I receive a few domain name inquiries a week. Quite often, most inquiries are tire kickers, yet there are a few that do turn into nice 4-figure sales.

All in all, most domain name inquiries I receive are asking the same question from the same point of view and the question is: how little can I spend to buy a domain name?

I’m not sure of the identity of most inquirers although I do take the liberty to research most emails and names via the internet.

There are those who are *real* people and quite easy to research to see if their story checks out while others play a game of incognito.

Either way, the domain name will cost them. How much it costs is only a matter of who I perceive is telling the truth.

And that know, allow me to share with you how I determine the good, bad and ugly when assessing domain inquiries.
