I would rather have the chance to get some rev then no chance, but again still allow the parking page to clearly show the domain is for sale. With Fabulous.com, I think this is the case. Then if somebody clicks on the for sale banner, it goes to my little system I have in place which provides the interested party several options. @john,

I really don't like the Sedo offer system either, it forces you to lay all your cards on the table every time you get a lame $60 offer :) I tried setting the min to $1,000 but they still only offer the $1,000 min LOL - So you have 2 choices, just reply with your price and go down from there (if they counter) or ignore the offer. Not ideal !

A motivated buyer will email you directly after a few weeks. Another way is just to know what you price your names for, then offer the same price regardless.
