Here is an email response I received when enquiring about the domain name weasel.com , you guys know I love animal domains.
I figured I would share it so you could respond similarly to domain enquiries you get, here it is:

Subject: Re: weasels.com [purchase] - lp inquiry [P]
Hello Adam,
Thank you for your interest in the domain name weasels.com.
This domain name is among our most prized and sought-after domains. It is either short, memorable, easily-pronounced, contains dictionary word(s), or includes any combination of these important variables.
Based on what comparable domain names are selling for, this domain name commands a premium price tag in the five-figure and higher price range.
This may come as a surprise to you since not everyone is aware that domain names of this quality regularly sell in this price range (and higher). Please visit the Domain Name Journal website below to see a current summary of recently sold domains and their selling prices:

After you've viewed the Domain Name Journal Sales Chart (above) and seen the current selling prices, we'd be delighted to discuss your interest in purchasing this domain name from us. Also, in order to avoid giving you 'sticker shock', we want to make sure your domain acquisition budget will support this domain's five-figure and higher price range because we're always respectful of our customers' time and try very hard not to waste it with negotiations that can never get off the ground.
***************************************
If your budget will support the five-figure and higher price range, please reply with a *serious* offer in order to begin the negotiation process with us. Any offer of *less* than five-figures won't be taken seriously by us, and due to the volume of email we receive, will not be replied to at all. Thank you.

Adam Young
