Drat.com sold for $2k!!! Real or Fake?

I saw drat.com sold at Afternic for just $2k!!! http://www.afternic.com/name.php?id=13928853

I've spent almost 2 month emailing and posting in forums looking for short brandable domains but i never get lucky. All i get was crazy domain seller giving me highball price like yeps.com for 6k, wimpy.com for 10k, mucky.com for 15k, tatty.com for 20k, gassy.com for 35k, looky.com for 50k, ranty.com for 65k, curby.com for 75k....COME ON GIVE ME A BREAK!

This guy just bought drat.com for merely 2k and all i get is stupid highball price??? Is this fake bid or what? I mean a 4 letter dictionary domain for 2k? When i saw the price i almost bang my head to the wall...

In all honesty tho.. I think given the difficulty I'm having in trying to think of a way to monetize such a domain, I think $2k is about right.. I mean, how would you develop the domain and monetize it in the most effective way to justify paying a higher price?

It's not the best 4-letter pronouceable IMO.. better than some, not as good as many others.

The only problem is its not easy to find that "many others". Even if you do im sure they will start with $10k or more. I think mod should close this thread already.
