Its a numbers game.
Yes, there are people thinking that because somebody is interested in a name they own they hit the jackpot. Domainers often have more realistic expectations because they have a better understanding of the market.

I used to be exactly like that, and I don't mind admitting it. I'd buy a few crap names from eBay, I either tried to sell $x,xxx+ when reality is they were worth reg fees, or, if someone was interested in a domain, I'd expect such high prices that no one finished a deal!
Didn't take me too long to realise the reality... Now I'm focusing on acquisition of lll.net, short .coms and next stage is lll.coms - quantity.
How about educating non-domainers about what domains can be worth? Then maybe they will open their wallets. But essentially, it's all a matter of domain quality (however this is factored).
