Yeah, sure. Whatever... Do your own research and let the facts speak. You might want to start by occasionally reading WSJ, Business Week, Business 2.0, etc., etc.

Sorry but most of this discussion is terribly naive. Internet domain investing is very real and very large with billions of dollars in investment capital. Did you know Internet ad revenues have now passed those of local newspapers?
If you want to buy Trump Tower you either buy it or not. But you're not going to jawbone Trump into selling for the price he originally paid for raw land and bricks. If don't buy, find something else that suits your budget. Or buy land and build your own. When there are many buyers for a domain name, supply and demand drive the price - after all, there is only one.
The original OP question was, "am I getting a fair shake or getting conned"? In real estate, recent comparable sales are used to evaluate this question, and it's the same with Internet Domains. Try the site http://dnsaleprice.com/ to search for recent sales comparable to the domain of interest to determine if you're getting a fair price.
Cheers,
