I have no idea how much companies offering that service make from it, but I tend to agree with
@NameDeck that there are no pros.
If you want to restrict frivolous inquiries, a domain investor can set the minimum on some marketplace at that amount. Depending on your lander, you can then deal with the potential purchaser yourself or have the marketplace do it. If you do not like their offer, and it does not work out, the person gets their money back as they should.

They are different things really. Web Magic and Nat Cohen's Telepathy are saying for me to take my time this is what it costs. The Uniregistry service is for someone or some company that wants to be stealthy. You can still contact the owner parked at Uniregistry, but you are going to use your name. Some people don't want to waste time on this and hire someone. This is not the domain owner charging $59 to give a price quote.
