[Need Help] Domain Name Purchase

Domain I've wanted for over a decade recently became available but at a ridiculous price, higher than what I estimate the entire niche is worth online for the next 10 years.

Seen this happen before, and after a while the price drops to something more reasonable, but I've never tracked how long it takes?

Also, I've heard rumors that even just searching the domain with vendors will artificually elevate the price, especially with certain popular vendors?

Does anyone have any experience with this?

That's a good idea.

Yes, they do inflate their prices, then it gets parked for 3-4 times as much as what you could of gotten at the auction, just bid slow your towards your limits

If it is owned by HugeDomains or something of that sorts they might drop it after a year. They register an abnormal amount of domains and then drop them if there is no activity.
