"Hall" has been trademarked. What make you so confident the owners of those trademarks couldn't take action against you, and leave it up to half-chance that it could be taken away from you (even though you may not have infringed against it)?
Though they're right about the lowballs and not even replying. I routinely get mail either demanding that I give it to somebody because, "I is can start no profit save cancer" or around $150 because somebody thinks a domain name is a neat birthday present for their kid.
Over the years, I've had plenty of offers for my three letter cool sounding word .com domain, unfortunately most have been in that "insult" category. I wouldn't call $20k an insult but at ten percent of my asking price I'm not sure I'd bother responding.
I'm pretty shocked you got it for so little. I've been offered more than five times that for my "first name only" domain, and it's just been from other people with the same first name. Though they're right about the lowballs and not even replying.

Because we filed the trademark

So you have a dictionary word that is 3 letters long .com domain and nobody has offered $200k? or is it a colloquialism like "wut"?
Everyone besides me probably already knew, but "Wall has been trademarked by Facebook" ? Wow.
That's an unbelievable price for a four-character domain.
a domain is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. i'm in the process of selling a 4 letter domain name, that stands for a major financial product, that gets 20-30K searches a month, and that's currently ranking #1 for that keyword in Google...and the most I was able to get from the 40 companies I contacted is $7,500(estibot value is at $15K). And that's for a product, that has a transaction fee based mod…
Can't sell names outbound. Someone has to come to you. So this doesn't surprise me at all.
"estibot value for the hall.com domain is $294,000"
Estibot means almost literally nothing. As you said "a domain is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it"
There is no correlation whatsoever between any domain I have sold and what estibot or any "appraisal" service says about the value of the domain. Although I have used that value if it gives me an advantage with someone who doesn't know about the business.

There are actually ways that a knowledgeable person can dodge that (and yes getting your own trademark is one of them).
But there is an interesting paradox here. As noted by another post on this page vaksel had noted that "the most I was able to get from the 40 companies I contacted is $7,500" with relation to a domain name he was trying to sell that he felt was worth way more.
The paradox is this. If more companies realized the value of domains they would be easier to sell. But there would also be many more UDRP's and cybersquatting lawsuits than there are now. Many companies simply don't see enough value in the domains to even pursue a UDRP that can be done for probably $5000 (if the right firm handles the complaint).
