domain How much should I expect to pay for an L.LL domain?

For the past month or so, I have been on the hunt for an L.LL domain for personal use (not business or resale). As such, I don't particularly care which combination of letters I get, so long as:
  • The renewal fees are not extortionate (like .nf)
  • The country is at least somewhat politically stable and likely to be around (with its TLD) for the foreseeable future
  • Preferably I don't need to use a proxy registration service (which I am leery of)
  • DNSSEC would be a plus
What should I expect to pay for a domain like that?

From looking at Namebio sales history it looks like most reported L.LL sales happen in the 3 to low-4 figure range, barring spectacular domain hacks like c.at (which, if I recall correctly, sold for $60k) or .io names.

Few of the listings I came across thus far had a BIN or non-bogus 'asking price' (by bogus I mean $1).

P.S. Is there something I don't understand about 'minimum offer' stipulations? I might come across a listing with a $100 minimum offer requirement, but from negotiations it is apparent the seller wants $90k or more. What is the purpose of having such a low-ball 'minimum offer' or 'asking price'?
P.P.S. Should I even bother, given that it seems most L.LLs are owned by domainers and I am far from the ideal customer?

It really depends on the extension. It is kind of an impossible question to answer.

Here are some recent NameBio sales -

i.cr 662 USD 2020-01-11 Flippa
i.ki 1,500 USD 2019-11-07 Flippa
g.cl 1,250 USD 2019-10-24 Sedo
r.fm 5,000 USD 2019-09-12 Sedo
o.mr 750 USD 2019-06-27 Flippa

Thank you for the reply, and I understand the question is quite broad. The fact that I am not looking for anything specific makes formulating a question (or an answer) quite hard.

I guess I could refine it to say:

"Is a $1-2k budget reasonable for a non-shady extension with less than $150 renewals?"
