> If you can't even put the effort into writing a message then I'd suggest you let the domain expire

I can put the effort to answer the message, but his answer was of no help and quite frustrating, it was my way to let him know that! There's a reason I disclosed that it was AI generated (maybe not the best approach)!

My tone was sharp and im saying things you dont want to hear; natural to want to answer in kind.

Truly tho I do not think that domain names sales is a great way to spend one's time anymore, nor do I think you're likely to find much success here. If you get offered $200 by the owner of the existing .net; i'd be surprised.

Alright, sir. For what it's worth, Godaddy Broker has contacted me in the past to buy this domain name for a client. The same Godaddy that has appraised it at $3,000+ USD. I declined at the time because I was still planning to use it. Furthermore, you would be surprised if you scrolled through the domain name broker sites (even the Godaddy one).

$200 will unfortunately not help me bootstrap anything. Your tone was rude, sir, not sharp. You are telling me what to do or not do with my own free time!

And let me quote your suggested price: "Fair price? $0." Yes: $0.

"Best approach? Let it expire and cease to spend time worrying about it. You can find better uses for your time."

That's not sharp, sir, that's rude and of no help. Thank you for taking the time to share your views sir.

No, that's not rude, it's honesty.

The past is the past and you still don't have that offer do you? So it doesn't mean anything.

> You are telling me what to do or not do with my own free time!

No, he gave you a suggestion, and his opinion.
