I've paid $1,000 for a domain name before as we really needed it for a 
project we were working on. We would probably have paid quite a lot more.

By 'need' I mean want in a marketing sense :-)

Do you know who's buying and why they want it ?

Any sensible person would keep that information close to their chest.

The gold dust are the big multinationals who's spent millions on lining 
up a marketing campaign and realise at the last minute that they don't 
have the domain name. They're often prepared to spend quite a bit to 
acquire it.

The other end of the pricing voodoo is asking yourself 'how much would 
make me feel happy and not ripped off' ?
