this is older than dirt, but there's a sucker born every minute. it commonly shows it's face around ebay domains sales.

"Don’t fall for this scam by using only reputable appraisal sites."

Sad but true... All it takes is for one dude to fall for the scam per email blast for it to be worth the effort. Just like with most undesirable stuff we encounter--it persists because somewhere, somehow, someway, it gets rewarded and the benefit outweighed the cost...

LOL that statement is almost in and of itself a scam. Don't fall for scam snake oil salesmen - only buy from true snake oil salesmen!
