Can't say that I'm really a player, but,
Back in 2000, Vanity Fair Corp.(
www.vfc.com ), parent company to the magazine,lingerie, and such companies as Gitano , Lee, and JanSport, offered me $50 to sell them my then current URL, vfsolutions.cmo, for use in a new product line.
I was able to negotiate a $5000 tag, due to some personal circumstances. (I truly wasn't trying to be greedy.)
Trying to find a replacement was hard though, as my name and others are similar and already taken and/or copyrighted.
To purchase names, I have used
www.domainpeople.com several times as registrar and easily moved from/to different hosts for clients...
