Perhaps a more direct "fuck off" would have been better?

View it from the eyes of a guy that retired in 2001, or any reasonable person, and $50k for a domain is an absurd amount that should have been tantamount to "I'm not selling, take off."

>or any reasonable person

There are many reasonable people who understand that $50k is nothing for a decent domain name.

And I guarantee you there are far more reasonable people who don't.

Not knowing what something is worth won’t get you out of a contract.
