What about domains that are not business specific, but personal? For example, there is a squatter who registered a huge number of firstnamelastname.com -- one of which is my real name. He's been reregistering it for the past 8 years.
I created a fake email several years ago and made up some cover story about how I was looking to create an online persona to blog with and listed 5-6 domains of these domains. The squatter wanted 10k for my firstnamelastname.com when I offered less than he wanted (like 1k) for one of the domains I really didn't want, he just said no and stopped responding. I even cited a post where he paid $80 for the domain...
I've been afraid to interact with the guy using my real name and the domain I actually want because I don't want to show any interest in the domain in hopes he just lets it expire.
((The guy has also had several domains seized by ICANN))
