I think not, so thats why i think its a game of buying and selling and its not about the domain itself, it couldve been any random product.

Actually it does matter. Read up or do a study of peoples surfing habits. Being someone who used to go out in the field fixing computers and still goes out selling webpages and hosting I watch my customers as they wrok on their computers.
Many people type in a domain name and leave the extension off. for aol.com they type in aol and hit enter. The browsers in english defaults first to the .com extension. If one is not found then it goes to the .net and then .org
This search pattern is coded into the browsers depending on the language you are using. so wink.biz would never come up as long as wink.com .net or .org is available to be viewed.
This pattern is why certain domains get "Type in" hits.
