#2The problem is that it is an emotional topic for sellers. Most sellers think that their domain is worth 4 figures or more at the least while it may not be the case often.
I have found many squatted domains that I will happily pay say $200 give or take but I am shelling out $5000 for a domain name (unless I have free VC money to burn :))
Ultimately, I end up buying a domain that is not taken and live with that.

#3getting the domain of my dreams would involve like bribing an entire country and that's money i can spend in better ways.
i think it depends on the projected ROI.
the most expensive for me was an io domain for 80€/year, though. wrong purchase.

#5Not that much, it was about 15 Euro IIRC.
I'd need a damn good reason to spend more than $50 on one. And though there are many good reasons, none of them have applied to me so far. :-)

#9We paid $12 for the .co and lost tons of business from potential customers trying to email us at the .com. We finally caved and paid $9,000 for the .com. It's been 100% worth it for our business to have the .com.
