The most a friend of mine got offered for a four letter com domain during the dot com years was $5k. He said he would have sold it for $15k.

I checked he still has it.

Business.com was sold for $7.5 million at height of the dot com boom. Have you ever visited that site? Neither have I.

Yeah sometimes people spend inane amounts of money for things. If someone was willing to pay $7.5 million for milk.com it'd be theirs. But no ones offered even 0.1% of that. So the market says milk.com really isn't worth very much. And the owner of milk.com and my other two friends that own single word domains are using them for their personal websites not squatting on them.
