Thank you for your responses.
I think "me" has more than hack brandability.
There are small-mid sized businesses developing websites using common words. For example wheels(dot)me, emu(dot)me and orangetree(dot)me are small businesses that can't afford the com's but, like the friendly sounding "me". They developed sites around one and two word brand domain names.
But, on the reseller market, I accept that I won't get anything.
