Very true. I have 40 or so domains, but none were purchased as an investment. All because of some random idea I had. Always happy to sell them for totally reasonable prices.

As someone who has approached others to buy their domain names, what do you consider as a totally reasonable price for an average domain name?
Not OP, but however much I have already paid is the amount I've parted with a domain or two before.

Edit: For example: 2 years @ $10/yr so I sell it for $20.

Thanks for that info. I usually offer a little more than that, but have never been successful.
It all depends if i plan on using it or not. If i don't plan on using it, sometimes I'll just give them away for under $100. If I do then there is a price almost always under $1000.

I do have one exception, and that is I bought sms.me which I had planned on building, but I got a good offer so that sold for many thousands, but that was their offer not mine.

On the flip side, I've bought many domains that I want to use for products ranging from $100 - $30,000 depending on a number of factors.
