Congrats and thanks for sharing!

That's something interesting to see Afternic tried and were able to get double your asking price even though you quoted 2K. Great stuff by Afternic and I consider it fairly done as Afternic knows better who the other party is and thought your asking price was less than what the name deserved.

I spend around $1,500 a month to renew names. Some I renew some I drop.
Last month I was about to drop an .org name which has not much potential in my opinion.
For some reasons I clicked to renew and got an email from Afternic/Godaddy agent last week asked me what is the bin because they have someone who is interested in the name.

I pulled my hair, flipped the coins and told them $2,000.
They came back and asked me if I am ok for $4,000

After 5 seconds serious thinking I said yes. Got pay 3 days ago - Fast transfer.

Or Afternic just send me $2K as I asked and keep $2K for themselves?

Can't say the same about GoDaddy. After buyer failed to pay accepted $85k, GoDaddy allowed the same buyer to offer $60k on the same domain just few week later.
