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"?
No, it's a common English word that I believe would be excellent for many different concepts. I had one serious offer at 40k which I turned down. They were wanting to use it for some kind of music sharing site for musicians.
"We started the conversation by offering a fair price to show we were serious. We didn’t want to get ignored by starting with a low, insulting offer. After a few emails negotiating a price, we struck a deal for $20k. No equity, just cash exchanged with escrow.com." This is my business (since '96). You did a great job and bought the name for a very fair price. If you would post the contents of the emails you sent I wo…

Did you just buy it in 1998 or something and keep renewing it?
Yes, actually I think it might even have been 95 or 96.

You have a domain you are trying to sell, people are asking about it on an entrepreneurial news board, and you won't say what it is? Free press man. Unless you got a real good reason to keep it a secret (how can you if you want to sell it), you should be name dropping that domain as much as possible when you have a captive audience

Me and a friend was browsing for a domain to buy in '95. Cars.com and a lot of stuff like that was available but "who would ever be interested in something that generic?". Starwars.com was available but then George Lucas would have been pissed off, so... We ended up buying pizza for the money instead. It was great pizza.
incidentally, I don't see how the pizza.com owner is going to recoup his investment

Too bad you didn't buy the Pizza.com domain name instead of an actual pizza, because it sold for $2.6 million! http://www.newser.com/story/23394/pizzacom-name-sells-for-26... incidentally, I don't see how the pizza.com owner is going to recoup his investment
Hindsight is 20/20, it is impossible to know now where scarcity will inflate prices through the roof.

Did you sell it already? if not I'm interested in the details

Question, when you contacted the 40 companies, how did you contact them? (Email, phone, postal)?
