I have an uncommon last name, and some domain broker contacted me that the domain squatter wants to sell it for $25,000+ (USD). It's honestly not worth even $1,000, and there's like only 20 people in the world who would want it. I openly laughed out loud for a while.

I wanted to try and re-register an old, obscure video game fan site with a short but unpronounceable domain, and a human (!) broker called me and said that it was going to be thousands of dollars. I estimate it's real value to be less than what they're paying him to sell it.

I used to own the domain <my initials>.io, and made the mistake of letting it expire. It was immediately picked up by a squatter and now they want thousands of dollars.

Not worth it.
