~$25 probably wouldn't stop the issue, but something ~$100 might. "GOOD" domains will always sell for well over that, regardless of a price floor. Owning a good domain name is like owning any other valuable good. Pricing around $100 helps with the long-tail of domain names. Most domains aren't worth sitting on for hundreds of dollars (in the majority of cases, where there's not an obvious quick flip).
I'd even be for a tiered pricing structure. Domains under ~7 characters could be $100+, domains over 15 characters could be significantly cheaper.

Really dislike this! > Domains under ~7 characters could be $100+, domains over 15 characters could be significantly cheaper. Now that could be good - Charge inversely by the character. Also has the side effect of discouraging URL shortening services :-)
