Overpricing and underpricing are terms, invented by jealous people.
Estibot.com, SwiftAppraisal.com, and all those other value estimation enities know nothing about the current position of potential buyer and potential seller.
Traffic stats. have nothing to do with the domain, but with the web content.
Most domainers, pro and amateurs, know very little about stats and business principles in general.
Anyway, the more is paid for domains, the better for everybody.
They get sold anyway, sometime.
Those Overpricing critics are not really realistic.
Emotional at most.

I believe you would very surprised how many domainers have MBA's.
And, how many domainers have extensive business and corporate experience.

I also believe the "pro's" have a solid understanding of business principles.

This industry has a lot of very smart people. And, more are entering the industry everyday.

Not everyone agrees with everyone else about domain valuation and never will.

Bottom line, the seller got his money and I'm sure he is spending it wisely on more domains.
