I've bought several domains just writing to people and offering a couple hundred bucks, so I know there are reasonable sellers out there. Most of my domain inquiries go unanswered, and those that are answered don't usually reach a deal, but once in a while things work out.

On the flip side, most domain inquiries I receive, I don't answer...too many bots that send out thousands of domain inquiries, and tirekickers looking for extreme bargains. If a person makes a plausible offer, I try to respond, even if it's just to say no thanks.
People don't seem to understand that domain inquiries--every one of 'em--have to be written from scratch, taking into account the name and the unique circumstances. I would guess that my response rate is close to 100% on inquiries because I am acutely aware of what domain owners DON'T want to hear, which is some rote script.
