Two things I love about this domain owner:
1) He tries to expertly avoid having to give a solid number, but then he comes right out and says he'd take 10mm for it. Sweet negotiation skills.
2) The best company he could come up with to buy the domain does just 110mm in revenue, nevermind profits. There are a few billion dollar companies who might bite, but any company making less probably couldnt afford it.
- Kynlyn 14y agoExactly. Anyone who takes a look at revenues in an industry that they know nothing about, then extrapolates that to some measure of profit is being fairly naive. He goes a step further and determines his domain is "worth it" based on his guess at the profits. Of course, he has a great domain name and he is well within his rights to ask whatever he wants for it. But to imply it's affordable without having any factual data to back that up is a bit much.
- martinced 14y agoOne thing this domain owner loves about you: 1) he owns a very good four-letters dot com while you don't.

- mvkel 14y agoVery presumptuous of you, but let's say I didn't: Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I can't imagine milk.com ever selling for over six figures unless some heavily-funded startup is throwing cash around, but that would be a hugely inflated price, not what it's actually worth. So if a guy owns a $10K domain name and I don't, should I feel bad? Should he feel good? There are people out there who own 6-letter domain names worth a heckuva lot more.
- ctdonath 14y agoConsidering the name is an asset - not a consumable - associated with one of the most popular products in the world, $1m/yr for a decade seems cheap.
