I would have a few alternatives ready to go, and then send over an offer about 1/2 of what your max offer would be.

The whole thing about not being interested in resale is completely false. They are lying to your face. They are completely 100% interested in selling, and are only saying that to give justification to ask for a huge price.

claiming that the domain was bought for resale could severely weaken their case in a udrp/trademark issue, as well.

Everyone is clear on that. 'there' was simply providing a reason they would say that other than to raise the price.
