And my point isn't that these people don't have a right to ask whatever they want for a domain, nor that I don't understand the law of supply and demand, my point/frustration is that domain owners are hoarders for whatever psychological reasons people are hoarders.
Some people buy a stock at $50 per share, when the stock goes down to $40 they won't sell, they won't sell at $30, they'll hang onto the stock until it's worthless still holding on to an irrational belief that it will one day somehow go up to $90.
You were once in the Content game, so you might get this.

If you were able to shoot 20 pics of any girl with a flash mounted camera for $400. Or a set any girl 6 out of 10 for $600, or a 8 out of 10 for $3,000.

Would you shoot sets and videos of the same girl for $300? Even though the prospective buyer thought you were being stupid and sending away business?

This is where we were until 2008. Today I bitterly regret selling custom exclusive. They were all worth far more than I sold them for.

And that's how all business works. Even if it's idiots over paying for the domains. The true value is what it can be sold for, not what some can afford to pay.
