Ok, domain parkers are my least favorite...

Me (email through their site):
curious if you're open to selling the domain organicskincare.com
Them (emailed response about 60 seconds later):
Curious?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Me:
Well, thanks for the attitude in response, that's a winning approach to be sure.
You have a price in mind... why not share it?
Or don't. No biggie. Go ahead and pass on an interested party, that's a solid business plan.
Them:
An optimist, gee that's really refreshing Daniel.
Do you actually believe your the first to inquire about this domain?
And we're not talking about a loaf of bread, a common appliance, or any other duplicatable commodity, are we?
We recieve dozens of mindless inquiries every month for this popular category-defining .com.
And for anyone today who assumes ignorance or otherwise is nothing short of an insult.
Trust me, you can't afford it.
Me:
Hi again.
Your business has an interesting approach to vetting potential customers. Thanks for classifying my "optimistic" inquiry as a "mindless."
If you want to hang on to your "category-defining .com," more power to you. Maybe you're making enough in niche ad revenue that you aren't looking for a buyer.
Here's a little tip for you... you misspelled "your" in your response. You really should use "you're" when combining "you" and "are." Too bad for me that you managed to spell "organicskincare.com" correctly when you registered it, hey?!
Just by way of further information, I own dozens of real world businesses, various exotic real estate holdings and a whole great big international stock portfolio. I purchase investment grade automobiles for weekend giggles. In addition to my day job as a secret agent for my father's independent oil-rich island nation, I snort medical-grade coke off the stomachs of domesticated (yet endangered) animals, party with supermodels before passing them off to John Mayer, and have a massive cock, too - though I had to pay a small fortune to get it this big, since I couldn't track down that tribal guru penis enhancer who just croaked (though not as "small" a fortune as it will apparently take to pry this "category-defining .com" from your hands).
If at some point the thrill is gone for you in the exciting and breathless world of domain parking - and when you're done stroking yourself to sleep each night while chanting the names of dot com addresses you'll never do anything constructive with on your own - why don't you shoot me a number... as in a price... an actual dollar amount that you would accept in exchange for the lovely domain "organicskincare.com"...
Or don't... I'll just go back to wishing I had a life as large as yours.
