My take would be mid-$$ which actually amounts to reg fee...
Granted, some people like names like del.icio.us or blo.gs or whatever and are willing to pay big bucks but I think it's more the exception than the rule.
Personally I don't like keywords split in two parts because of the TLD,
veg [dot] as just doesn't sound right IMO.
Yes, we have all been guilty of loosing the plot at times. Unfortunately, at this time it would seem that most speculators have a very unrealistic view of where the market is heading. There is definitely going to be a shake out. I dropped all my .cc, .ws and even .tv. I have also dropped all my dot info and dot biz that are not sites. I would also dearly like to get out of .co.uk.
However, I am not investing in ASCII dot net or dot com either, as certainly the latter is starting to look a bit expensive apart from the Elite Domains that will go marching on through Seven Figures. Those will probably make considerable capital gains for sometime to come. The "stringanythreewordstogether.com" though are looking expensive from were I am standing.
Most people seem to be missing or totally misreading the biggest opportunity the Internet has seen since immediately after the release of dot com. The Internet over the next three years is going to be rolled out globally in a way that it never has been, so it will be accessible to all. That accessibility will require domains that serve the needs of the developing markets. Some have grasped the nettle and bought every single English keyword in dot IN, but I believe they are guilty of not doing their market research. Most of the rest are just like Ostriches with their head in the sand or hypnotised by the beat of the dot com drum!
