I was recently quoted 2m for a 6 letter .com of a dictionary word when I inquired about it.

For a 6 letter .sh, also a dictionary word, I paid 250 bucks.

I have a two letter .org but in 25 years of using it as my primary domain name not one financial offer for it has turned out to be in good faith / not spam.

Is it a two-letter word or common abbreviation, or just two random letters?

Sadly the latter. 3e.org

Third Edition, then ;-)

You also now have a XXXXXX.sh rather than XXXXXX.com :)

Good domains on .com or relevant local tld such as .co.uk are worth snapping up.

You're right of course, I wasn't trying to weigh them against each other. The .sh is for a pet project. I just added it to the comment because I happened to have that data point available from around the same time.
