so funny, I have been going back and forth with the same guy over naplesgraphicdesign.com, at first the price was $99, then he went down to $40, a few months later I thought I might go for it, and he's now asking $60. I offered him $30, but he passed.

This guy sure gets around.

I also found this blog by googleing his email address.

I Google 'Eugene' name too and got your blog. Where I can't fault the guy for drumming up domain sales - at least he doesn't claim to be a Nigerian prince needing help in acquiring unclaimed bars of gold. No harm, no foul. ~ Rick

By the way, Eugene took your advice. WebdesignerUtah.com is now his, too.

He has now moved on to cities. I just got the email to buy websitedesignmemphis from him. Haven't run the whois yet...

I'm sure he's making money!

Thanks for the info. I own a web design and SEO company in the San Francisco Bay area and got contacted by the same guy. Did a search on the phone number on google and your blog came up. I like your responce. Good story!

For me it's tempting to get the domain, because it's worth it for me. But if he's giving bad data/info, there is no way I trust him to go through the transfer hassle. Thank you for saving me $200.
