Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?
Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.
Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain
appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very
important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation
company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from
independent sources I and my partners trust.
To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal
companies.
Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers:

If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price
accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15%
discount.
After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to
obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations.
What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire
transfer, PayPal.com or something else?
Hope we can come to an agreement fast.
Looking forward to your reply.

More email examples from this scammer:
Your valuation looks reasonable enough and I agree with it.
To get a fair value I ordered another valuation from different site.
Since it's not smart to rely on one valuation only.
I've got the figure already. It's very close the result of your valuation.
Of course, I expected a lower estimation :-).
Anyway, now I see from different sources that your name has a good
potential.
My partners told me about ICANN rule that prohibits domain reselling before
two months from registration. I did not want to wait for two months.
Here is my solution:
I search for a buyer and get 14%-15% upon sale. I wrote about reselling in
first emails.
Of course, I don't require exclusive rights to sell. You can try to sell at
the same time. If I find a buyer faster I get my 15%.
I've already bought opt-in lists to promote your domains. I invested about
$150 in these opt-in lists.
I was already contacted by an individual regarding your domain. His partner
was interested in purchasing. He asked for valuation certificate. I've
already sent him your appraisal link upon receiving his request.
Of course, I cannot list your names with brokers and auctions since I'm not
the owner.
I'm going to use your valuation in my promotio? Is it ok with you?
I think if you list your domains with several brokers and auctions it will
help us. Many buyers prefer to buy through auction sites or domain brokers.
Moreover, many brokers help with transfer. I'm not the owner so I can only
use my database to promote your domains and I cannot list. As the owner, you
can list your domains on (((Redacted))). Please don't forget to send your auction links.
