It's fair to assume the fresh closure motivated the interest of a few domain investors that dug even deeper for ranking data they could leverage to capture a return on their investment.

Note: There's a lot more to analyze, but I'm going to stop there and not put too much time into this. I just wanted to show a few of the variables at play that should be analyzed when looking at sales reports. each ones going to have different value factors and motivational reasons for someone to acquire it at the price-point they did.
In the case of "blindpigfortcollins.com" I think it safe to assume (Without further research) that the motivational value factor is in the SEO/SEM, Freshness of the business going under, Some quality backlinks and traffic from said business being fresh still, The age of the asset, history, some of the ranking data factors, etc....
Would I have spent $5k on it? Nope, probably not. But someone obviously saw more value in it than I did, at a quick glance. They may try to park it and milk the traffic to recoup their investment until that starts to fade away and then liquidate it for whatever they can get later to stack onto it.
It could also end up a redirect to a competing pub to try and capture new patrons to their own business.
There's many different ways to recoup the acquisitions cost, the above are just 2 of those ways.
At any rate, I'm sure you get the idea and I hope you now know the importance of referencing sources the data was pulled from, rather than just relying on AI to write everything.
In fact, I didn't even open up any of my AI assistants to conduct this analytical research. it was all done manually...
See the difference?
At the end of the day, we all do things different and what works for one may not work for another and vice versa.
A domain name is truly only worth what a buyer and seller agree on.
