At first I thought this was a Reddit-style pun response, but then I read the linked page. I read it to mean "Yea, I really want to sell it, but it's going to be costly. Otherwise I'm happy to sit on it until a satisfactory offer comes around." Of course, there's nothing wrong with that at all.

The page states that research has been done, and there is a perceived value that as of yet hasn't been offered. The domain owner is clearly uninterested in haggling - give the right offer, or no deal.

FWIW I don't think he actually ever intends to or expects to sell.

I have a couple of friends who own various single word or three letter domain names. They universally say that companies attempting to buy their domains tend offer seriously not life changing amounts of money and often resort to threats when rejected.

Consider what if Land o Lakes owned milk.com and you demanded they sell it to you for $5k? Bwhahaahahaha!

> not life changing amounts of money

I don't know how high the offers can go these days. But then again, we're not exactly in the dot-com bubble anymore. In 2001 I bet it could have attracted life changing amounts.

The most a friend of mine got offered for a four letter com domain during the dot com years was $5k. He said he would have sold it for $15k.

I checked he still has it.

Business.com was sold for $7.5 million at height of the dot com boom. Have you ever visited that site? Neither have I.

Yeah sometimes people spend inane amounts of money for things. If someone was willing to pay $7.5 million for milk.com it'd be theirs. But no ones offered even 0.1% of that. So the market says milk.com really isn't worth very much. And the owner of milk.com and my other two friends that own single word domains are using them for their personal websites not squatting on them.

[oao]

I would be willing to bet a very large amount of money that this is the case.
