I thought it was just a stagnent site that they would be happy to get rid of and generate a modest income on. Hi Alex,

Why sell a domain for a couple hundred dollars if money is not that important? If someone doesn't want to sell, why should you expect them to simply because you made an offer?

I really like the analogy you used for buying a home - since everybody in Vancouver can relate to that! If I were a building developer and I came by your home (which is located in the outskirts of town, and really doesn't have much value, and you don't even live there - and I offered you DOUBLE what it is worth, would you come back and say I will sell it ONLY for fifty times it's worth?

Also, registering a site with a domain registrar is different than buying a registered site from someone who already uses it. If someone came along offering fair market value for your house, and it was simply worth more to you than the mere market price of the house (for whatever various personal reasons), what reason would you feel motivated to sell? What if the person has no desire to sell?
