Market Value. Price = what someone is willing to pay.
Did you forget basic economics?
Sounds like someone just didn't get their domain and wants to whine a lot. Lots of whiners, so few doers.

Your price is not based on supply & demand or market value, but just how bad someone wants the domain you're holding, which happens to be a perfect fit for his product or service.
I've actually managed to personally come up with, and get two perfectly fitting .com's for (two of) the products I'm going to make.
Those two domains consist only of words in English too. One of them is cutesy, and the other is clever. I won't tell you the names, though, because that would reveal my real name. But it really was difficult to come up with the names, because of human scum like you.
If you're a "doer", then I don't even want to be one.
Thanks for playing.
Sorry, you clearly don't understand markets.
All of your self-centered squealing here has been the result of your fragile little ego getting hurt from being called a scumbag. But that's like me getting upset about someone calling me a person. That's what I am. Scum is what you are.
Of course you will want to turn that around and say it's me being greedy. I've paid large sums for domain names and guess what... I know how to earn more money from it. Welcome to capitalism, quit your bitching and play the game or shut up.
Really? Every day? I'm curious, why do people call you names? Is it because of domain squatting, and if so, don't you think they might have a point?
> What irritates me is those preaching about how bad something is without ever being able to offer a better solution other than one that would suit them.
Would it make sense for someone to offer a solution that didn't suit them? There could be lots of potential solutions, but I'm not sure we agree on what the problem is.
They could release all obviously squatted/parked domains, for example, and prevent or limit their programmatic reservation. I wouldn't mind an increase in price either, if it made squatting unprofitable, or there could be some requirements for reserving a domain.
> They all simply want more for themselves, it's not this perceived injustice that you couldn't get the domain you wanted is a bigger issue. It's not. It's simply your greed.
Heh. So now wanting a domain is the same as being greedy? Or is it greedy to want a domain that happens to be squatted? Either way, your comment didn't make any sense.
> Of course you will want to turn that around and say it's me being greedy.
Greedy? Most people are, but greed is not really the problem here - it's what you do.
> I've paid large sums for domain names and guess what... I know how to earn more money from it.
I'm sure you do. It's much easier to make money when you have no shame or morals.
> Welcome to capitalism, quit your bitching and play the game or shut up.
Yes, I'm sure you'll continue doing what you do.
'Obviously squatted' - again back to a slippery slope. You clearly don't understand how the markets work either. The best stuff is the most profitable, price increases and such only reduce domain values at the margins. Requirements for registering is a pretty laughable system. Go develop kids.us or .mobi, last I checked they have requirements. Maybe .TV with super high pricing. Sure you can find something available.
You want something for yourself and think a system sucks because it doesn't suit you.
It's what we do. Uh-huh. It's no different than many forms of speculation or real estate investment. People can hate on it all they want, those not making money often do.
No shame or morals - another good argument coming from you. You have no idea what I've done or how I do it, yet of course believe yourself to be all knowledgeable and able to judge. You want to call me scum, but really you're just some disillusioned asshole who falsely thinks they are on some moral high ground . You are unhappy and want to bitch, I see many people just like you every day, incapable of actually doing anything or figuring out solutions. The author of the post takes a system and works with it to meet his needs. I entered this business long after people knew what domains were and were investing in them and was able to figure out profitable ways to invest. Instead of actually understanding the systems and making them work for you, they simply bitch it's unfair for them therefore it's wrong. They don't even understand it isn't unfair for them, they simply are too inept to take advantage.
