Often the actual value is here nor there to companys like this. I remember a church group who had a 4 word name in the .org even lost it to a drop. The pastor knew my parents and I over heard him, checked whois and sure enough I knew the company. Called 3 times, offered $1k and the story ( they paid $60 btw, and no luck. Not even a call back, some guys just dont care. You or I say hay a quick $1k but to hem they get so many inquiries etc who knows if they even read the emails or listend to my VM.
