What is the most you have paid for personal or business reasons? What extension? What domain? Mask them out fully or partially if you want but knowing the length is helpful.

#3I think it was $2000. We were operating in several countries with the same brand and when entering a new country we needed that TLD. It was rightfully owned by a woman who happened to have the name as a nickname (registered years before our brand existed). Her website was static, outdated and of geocities type quality (stars background, animated icons). A friend of hers negotiated and I think we caught him off-guard on the phone. Our budget was multiple times that.

#4Never paid much for domains, but the biggest loss was exgfs.com
I registered it in 2005ish before that whole niche in porn took off, some dude offered me $100 3 days later, being young and naive I took it thinking it was a great flip. Year later I watched him sell it for $100,000. I learned my lesson that day.

#5I sold a four-letter .org for $5000 once, original offer was $500 which I didn't think was enough. Whatever the buyer wanted to launch on it never got off the ground, and a few years later I was able to grab it back when it lapsed.

#8I was offered $700 for wikawika.com, I asked for $800 and all communication stopped. Domain buyers are a fickle bunch I guess.

Anything other than dictionary words on the new gTLDs is not going to be worth much
