You are wrong. People will pay for names. I registered a domain long ago, over 8 characters and nothing big in SEO (I think it was PR1 or PR2).

Someone contacted me about it. I don't know even what he's going to use it for, but he seems to like the name. I pulled a good 4 figure number out of my head. I never though he'll pay that much.

Indeed, we made the transaction pretty quickly in the same week. I was planning to drop the domain!
