By the way, may I ask HOW you talked to THEM?
Actually, it would make perfect sense I think. Since ultsearch specializes in Traffic Sites that generate income for his ppc engine, and I'm betting those names don't generate much link popularity and type in value. While we may argue that the site is worth money to an end user or someone who wants to develop it into a site, it currently isn't that incarnation. Since ultsearch doesn't actively seek buyers and looking at the income reports, I can see how this happens. For example, I never see the pending delete lists, they are all processed and I only see pending delete/on hold lists with traffic. Thus, I miss many premium names. Can't help this, not enough time in the day to manually go through the whole list. I suspect owning 40k names and not set up for aftermarket sales (like buydomains), you go through your list each month and any that don't generate their reg fee fall from the list. Realistically, this is good business. They are utilizing verifiable results, not betting on prospective results. Prospective results are what caused the great dot com rise and fall.
