I bought ajar.org for ~$4K USD in 2015. Now wish I'd purchased ajar.net instead, but Uniregistry is asking $8-9K, down from ~$20K, down from around ~$30K. My max offer would have to be a trade of ajar.org plus maybe a thousand bucks... My perception has changed a bit since my purchase in 2015, as I struggle to see a domain name valued higher than my car.

That said, it was the perfect domain in 2015: I had just started the AJAr Foundation and was very deep into related software projects at the time. How much would you spend on a domain in 2019? It seems like the landscape has changed quite a bit in the past 5 years, perhaps due to the rollout of new TLDs. Still, for a nonprofit .org seems "optimal," .net for networks, and .com still holds the title (would think) of what the average person expects.
