In the domain owners' defense... (Score 1)

...they may not necessarily be a cybersquatter (at least, not intentionally).

I own a couple dozen domains that used to belong to clients or ex-clients of mine. In some cases, they went out of business and failed to pay for the domain renewals, so I decided to transfer them over to myself; in other cases, they changed their minds about the name of their business and decided not to hold on to the other domains.

So, I now have about 2 dozen of these domains under my control; since I have no use for them, where's the harm in asking a reasonable price (anywhere from $50-$100) for them?

Finally, in one case, the client went out of business *and* screwed me out of a good $1,000 in development payments, so trying to recoup some of that with a domain that I now legally own seems reasonable.

Not saying this is the case here, just noting that it may be a similar situation.
