The previous owner paid $16K for it, and is a well funded partner of a NYC venture capital firm. He was the guy who quoted $100K, and let it expire. He is pretty accessible, so I am very sure people tried to reach him, but I guess he was not to concerned about it. The current owner offered him $25K, which is nothing to sneeze at, and his counter was $100K, which is what many top domainers, and brokers do everyday. I wouldn't expect a VC guy who paid $16K for it 5 years ago, to go soft, they would have to negotiate high.
