    That sounds crazy. Maybe they saw your $10k bid and decided that if you want it, you're really going to haev to pay for it...

    I don't think so, and I doubt that I would pay even 10k for it.

    i think so but then why minimum bid $200k ?
    i didn't bid 10k i try to bid 3-5 k but it didn' allowed cos seller wants minimum 10k .
    And i couldn't understand why is the minimum bid 200k ?

    Maybe, it is not very special but i think it worth 3-5 k not reg fee IMHO.

    Cos whois domain is a great keyword , it is used almost all countries.

    I'd keep the .net version and sell it to them :)
    In my experience, domain brokers seem to be very
    overpriced. Maybe you can negotiate something with them

    They must have looked you up, saw you owned the developed .net version and then overpriced it immediately,
    its normal broker tactics, they know they won't get $100K or even $50K but they will try to squeeze as much as possible from your heart desires.
    My advice, just let it go. Spend the money to enhance your current site more. Or transfer it to a new domain example: Whoisdomains.com/WSDomain.com etc

    Whoisdomain.com is really a good name for development but I would recommend you to focus on developing your .net version instead.
    $3k - $5k is quite a fair price for that name now though it can seriously attract more price for someone who knows its true "keyword" value.

    btw: I own whoisdomain.info which is interestingly meaningful to me :p

    Regards,

    wow.... 200,000 sounds crazy for this domain. i think it might be worthy maybe 200-300 dollars but not more. its just a generic domain name?

    I wouldn't get even whois.com for $200k
    Anyway, keep your money in your pocket (or bank) and sleep unstressed lol

    No mate, just check some sales for premium generic .com domains
    4-5 years ago these kind of domains could reach the $1m+ but these days go at last for a half of million

    color.com sold for $350k
    hobbies.com sold for $297.5k
    celebs.com sold for $270k
    logo.com sold for $500k

    etc
