So says a curious spam email I just received (twice):

Hi,
We are looking to potentially immediately buy your website. It must meet the following criteria:

* Minimum Google PR: 3
* Be in one of the following categories:
   - Canadian focus
   - finance
   - cars
   - telecommunications
   - travel
* Provable earnings history of some sort, even if its not a lot.
* Provable traffic record for the past 12 months.

If you have one or more websites that meet this criteria, please email me and let me know the website address, the $ amount of earnings over the past 12 months, the average monthly unique visitors for the past 12 months, and your prefered payment method (generally paypal, check, or escrow.com), and I will get back to you later today to confirm whether or not we can purchase your site for $1000. We have some amount of flexibility in our criteria, and if you are close we may be able to buy your site, but perhaps for less $. Feel free to email me with any questions you have.

Thanks!

Also, I apologize if you receive this email more than once. Due to some data complications, I may have sent it out to you multiple times on accident. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Well… since I am not focused on Canadian issues, talking about finance, or cars, or telecommunications except in a tangential way, or travel I fear my $1000 may be impossible.

Anyone got a spare $1.50?  She’s yours, mate… just needs new plugs, the exhaust is a bit dodgy and the brakes need doing. But she’s a fine runner and given me plenty of years of good service.
