What if the satisfaction of not selling it to you is worth more than a dollar to him/her?

Some cyber squatter has my fistnamelastname.com, and several thousand others (including celebs and typo-based domains). I contacted him about and he made it clear that he was looking for something in the 10k-250k range. I offered $500 and got no response. A non-commercial domain shouldn't command that kind of price, but the cost of sitting on it just isn't high enough to discourage squatters from doing it and waiting for the occasional big payout.
Edit: the squatters name is David Webb in case anyone else has had to deal with him.

Boy I can't believe you were going to pay 500 bucks for a .com domain with your name. The guy who's owning mine is asking for not less than $6K so I just went for the '.me' which is at least as nice looking as '.com' and adds a cool factor to your emails/business cards. Everyone seems not to believe that your email can be [email protected] but I'd say that it looks catchy aint it?
