This is exactly what I would say if I had a domain priced at $3 million, but with all due respect that any one can turn down a $2 million offer without any negotiation seems unlikely to me... “I turned down a 2 millions offer I received without any negociation.”

I see more frustration in all these comments than anything else. Yes the tag to get this name involves most could never afford to buy it, but it's not a reason to complaint. You should be enthousiast and relay how a your industry name worth! I know domaining.com will sell for +3 millions and I am sure at 1000%. I turned down a 2 millions offer I received without any negociation. Maybe the buyer will not push his offer to my reserve but no problem, another will do it. If not now, further and he will have all is life to think about the opportunity he lost.

But the reach for that name is very narrow. So I doubt if I will ever pay that amount. Anyways, good luck to Francois. Its a great name. But the reach for that name is very narrow.

What are you not understanding in dream land or to translate so you better understand in french "votre rêver" I do not mean this rudely but the idea you think there is a chance in hell to get anywhere near millions for the name is INSANE and IMO makes you look foolish. I do not know you and this is not meant to be rude so please do not take it that way. Just my perspective on the reality of the name selling. How many know what domaining is? I will be generous and say 5,000. You think each person that knows domaining is worth $20 at just 1 million? 3 million? come on.... Francois,

Agree, especially with the site not included, I suspect the domain itself is worth very low 5 figures. Doesn't make much sense to try and split the two up given most of the value is due to development. “The asking price is laughable.”
