My one word of advise is don't take the bait of an April fools day domain sales inquiry! On April 1st my wife duped me big time. I'm sitting in my office and in pops this email:

Comments: Hi,
I was interested in this domain. I am willing to pay upto 20K, what's your bottom line(please be honest). I would need transfer ASAP. Please advise. Best regards Michael Olmstead

Hi Michael:I will sell the domain for your quote of $20,000. I will pay the fees at escrow.com to do the transfer and we can start the transfer today.

thanks for the prompt reply. I know why I'm interested, and I can only suspect that with the popularity of personal type sites that others are also trying to get a piece of the "pie". I think this market is ripe and has so many possibilities.
I looked at escrow.com, and it looks legit. I've never used it and I don't have an account but is it like PAYPAL? what form of payments do you accept?
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael:You should receive an email from escrow.com, I just started the escrow process. They accept many forms of payment. Please let me know if you have any problems.
I have the domain registered at godaddy.com. If you open up a free account at GoDaddy, I can move the domain instantly into your account after payment and then you can lock the domain. If you want to use another registrar I will give you the authorization codes to move the domain, but this could take a few days depending on how quickly your registrar works.
Kind Regards,

Do you know what today is? GOTCHA....Kim!
Me, the dumb husband: Son of a F#%?k*$g B#$t@h, I can't believe how stupid I am! How would you feel when $20,000 goes up in smoke. Yeah I was got good!
Well I sadly go to escrow.com to cancel the transaction. The humiliating part of canceling the transaction was when I was prompted for a reason; My wife played an April Fools Day Joke on Me.
Well you think the family pranksters would stop there. Oh No! I have a laptop at home that I use to keep up with business in the evening.
Kim, my wife, and Courtney, my oldest daughter, put a cracked glass screen on my laptop and disabled the screen saver. After diner I went to use my laptop and went ballistic. Courtney had stayed home from school that day so I incorrectly figured she dropped my laptop. Then when my blood pressure was hitting 200 over 150 they both started laughing hysterically.
Boy, was I got good this April 1st. Payback will be soooooooooooo sweet!
