Mike Mann has proved you can sell anything if you have the right buyer. He has sold doms appraised at 0-$12 for X,XXX and above.
Well said
@Hootsifer, you stole the words from my keyboard, thank you
It's not just about the domain name, metric, TLD registered, and so on, IMHO:
It's more about psychological stuff too.
I mean:
If you really want something owned by someone else, you have to pay its price without pretending to establish its value;
It's more than natural that you, the buyer, try to undervaluate something that you strongly want because you want to do a great bargain, but you are just a part of the deal, that one who does not have the upper hand.
I do not care if I have a stone or a golden rock in my hands:
If you want it because you need it, you pay my price, and that's it.
We often forget that a name is just a name that needs someone able to craft something special around it:
Think about Merceds
®, Microsoft
®,Chanel
®, McDonald
®
and so on, and think how many people probably said, back in that time, 'I don't see any value in it...'
My 2 cents.
