Not advice you want to hear, but you did ask.

Call me latter-day-hippie, mired in a non mercenary and somewhat apocryphal past, but I don't much care for domain squatters. You presumably bought your domain name for a song, then couldn't use it. Give it up at your cost. It's the right thing.

Yeah, my employer expressed some annoyance at my having given up "tractordealer.com" years ago, but we had closed that business unit and no longer had use for the domain name.

Ken Duda had earlier, most graciously ceded "duda.com" to my employer out of goodness back in the day, so I just felt we were paying it forward. I'd do it again.

Remember that the Internet is a social experiment as much as a technical achievement - relying on global cooperation. Do your part is my advice. You'll miss a profiteering opportunity, but you'll feel better about yourself after that third beer. I'll admire you too.
