Yep! It's happened a few times and that's when I have to calculate the ROI.

It makes you really scrutinize how much you "love" that name.

Yes, I've done that many times!!! I'm somewhat of a domain junkie!  

I have not seen this. Then again, I purchased a couple of dozen domains years and years and years ago that I keep when it was easier to get one without it being called a premium.

I hadn't seen them, but I'm not surprised. Whoever owns the domain knows it is valuable.

I used to have a great domain, failed to renew quickly, someone else swooped in grabbed it and tried to ransome it to me.  The last I checked, they still own it.

Yes! Not in my budget.

That's not happened to me but I have seen some pretty high prices on some domains, and I have been asked about selling a few that I have

I have seen some high price tags on url's . I just wish I had thought about buying up a bunch early on, like 20+ years ago soon after Al Gore invented the Internet. 

That's why it's available!

Yes I have, Jeff Pearl...and do I buy it anyway?  HECK NO!! 

Oh yes Jeff, I have done that a few times.. got very excited for about 3 seconds...

Yes!

The domain name is already owned by a person or a company that is willing to sell it to you for $2,800.

Yes, happened many times on the godaddy url search!  I have moved one, so far...

That is one expensive domain!!

Sometimes you just have to say "NO"!

Yes, and I paid because it was important to me

No.

Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, CRS nailed this one!

Yes, I have seen that and similarly as Debbie Reynolds answered, I have also wished my time machine functioned properly.  

That happened to me once. So I kept searching for different variations. Turns out an even better domain name was available for standard cost!

Yes, I have seen this. Domain names are very overrated as a value at this time.

Keep searching

I guess one would have to evaluate just how much they want to pay for 'Perfect' ...!!

Yes.  I saw some upwards of $20,000.  No thanks. 

Yep! Didn't buy them.

Yes I have had that happen Jeff Pearl and also if I look something up on any site other than Go Daddy the price just happens to jump up because of my inquiry.

Not really - although we own over 200 domain names and many from local complexes - when we want one we just get as close to what we need as possible - we've never bought a so called "premier" because in our estimation there is no such thing anymore

Jeff Pearl No I haven't, but I would have to check if it is worth the investment. Probably not at that cost.

I've thought about this.... not paying that sum...

Some folks make quite a nice living by registering and selling domain names.

Of course.

I actually own several of those.

Would you like to buy Bellaire Beach Homes?

Sure have. Parked domains any of us snatch up and think someday. Those websites need weeding, feeding, watering and we are already data input technicians right? Information vending machines, all of the sites are for property listings to slice and dice. For area information, the real estate process explained right?

Yes!  I've seen some high priced domains.  I'm watching one now, not that expensive.  That's too much for my pocketbook. 

That is a lot to spend for a domain, but if it truly is a good one - maybe! 

I have two domain names I own and would be willing to sell. They are FiveReasonstobuyahome.com and FiveReasonstosellahome.com. $2800.00  sounds good for 1 or $5,600 for the both

Jeff Pearl - happened to me few times! Nop, not giving $2,800 for that domain name I love.

Jeff,

That is cheap considering what has been offered to us.  We have an instance of being offered Domain.luxury.com for $20,000.  We laughed.  A

  There used to a be a domain re-seller who posted here on ActiveRain.  I talked with him on the phone once.  He had a lot of domain names for sale at $$$ prices. 

I have not and would not pay that kind of money

With companies now hoarding them and has gone beyond the smart guy who knew enough to register his great idea and profit

good luck.

I've not seen the premium domain (never heard that term either).  I've come across several that were bought and being squatted until someone wanted to bid for them.

Wow, that is alot, stick with yours

Sure plenty of times and even higher prices those are usually ones other people are just reselling
