I was offered $700 for wikawika.com, I asked for $800 and all communication stopped. Domain buyers are a fickle bunch I guess.
as are squatters.

#32I submitted a request for quote for hdd.com They replied back and said they'd accept nothing less than $100k. Seems ridiculous based on the numbers I'm seeing here.

#33I purchased Texts.com while in high school (~10 years ago) for ~$15k. I had made a fair amount of money flipping domain names on sites like Namepros / DNForum / a few private forums. A mix of "tulip" LLL.com's, and then a few instances of snagging a name in the aftermarket and immediately flipping it to an "end user." My biggest domain-fail was letting Naked-Celebs.com expire. I bought it for something like $300 in 2…
Wait a second.... You had $15,000 to drop on a domain in HIGH SCHOOL!? That's crazy, and incredible. Ha

#34I bought pmn.org for 4k (my initials and username most places). I'd just sold a domain set (.com, .net, .org) for 10k and felt spendy :)

#38I offered $15k for a 4 letter non-english word domain and was turned down. That was 10 years ago. Now they want $42k. Still sitting on it. It's some sort of broker.

#39Not my own purchase, but my previous employer paid somewhere in the region of £1-2 million (I forget the exact figure) for a 2 letter .com which was actively being used by a Brazilian company. They were using the .com and the .com.br and just used the .com.br as their main domain after the sale.
It was a huge amount of money but it made sense seeing as the buyer was a business with a 2 letter name.
