Subject: Interested in Strawgate.com
Hey, im interested in purchasing the domain, Strawgate.com. I will be willing to offer the nominal fee of about $20. Which considering how
little traffic the address actually gets would be a deal for you. So how about we start the price at $20 instead of $400, and we can haggle from there?
Response sent to me:
Sorry.. ;-)

You actually tried to pay $20 instead of $400?
|
Who is seriously going to pay two thousand dollars for that? They're dreaming...
But still, lol @ your offer. :P | |
lol@offer

They were pretty cordial considering you were being a cheeky prick. :P
| |
They're mature enough not to hide their insecurities with unnecessary formalities.
| |
I believe the ;-) is very formal and mature. ;-)
-D. Puppy PS: ;-) | |
They want 2000 for that? Psh, do what I did, change it by a little, since ilithyia.net was already used, I bought ilithyiahome.net. No one notices in the end anyways.

its not just about how you say it, but what you're saying. while your word choices make you think that you're being formal, what you're saying is really a joke. they're trying to make a profit from selling the website and you offer them $20. not only is that 1% of their asking price, but they probably wouldn't be turning a profit at that point.
according to register.com, the following are available: strawgate.net strawgate.org strawgate.info strawgate.biz strawgate.us strawgate.tv strawgate.cc strawgate.ws | |
An email that starts with "Hey" isn't terribly formal either. :)
| |
But it's tremendously more formal then ;-)
| |
go for strawgate.cc

Where do you get 2000 from? Go for the .net or offer a little more, 400 is rediculous.
