I own datefeed.com I just had someone send me an email offering  $800 for it. Not even would I be interested in selling or asking price. Just an unsolicited offer any thoughts on price or process?

a domain is what you make of it, it does sound like (data + feed) it should _value more_ though, but if you dont develop it or dont actively seek to sell it, does it value more? who knows, depends on your luck

Did the person email you with the 800 dollar offer in their first email? If so, please beware that it is probably an appraisal scam. If they ask you to purchase an appraisal from a website do not do it as they are receiving the funds for the appraisal and they will not purchase the domain name.

That was the offer right out of the gate. He said he suggest we use escrow.com .  Thoughts on price and escrow.com or any other input would be apprieated.
Thanks

Usingt excrow.com is certainly a reasonable proposal. You could also go through Sedo - very safe, but you will pay them 10 percent of the transaction.

But in case the correspondent asks you to pay something for some reason (see posts above on the well-known "appraisal scam"), just refuse.

Regarding the price, it depends very much. In case you do not intend to use the domain, the offer could certainly be considered.

If his first email to you was $800 and you haven't accepted yet, I'd counter with a low four-figure offer. Using Escrow.com for the transaction is a good way to go. Just don't get caught up in the offer if he suddenly asks you to pay for an appraisal.
