Mark Brooks: What are your thoughts on the prices of these domains?

Most are kind of high just for a domain… now if there was an actual site with active users attached, I would think it’s in-line. I am a marketing person first and I could make a site with another domain name versus spending $1MM-5MM for just a name!

The iDate Message Boards has a thread on it.
Interestingly, Dating.com revealed their Traffic and Revenues for FY 2009
Yes, you can build an dating site and earn revenue on your own. The generic dictionary word may provide a faster growth given current google search algorithms.
Its an interesting auction to at least watch to see what develops.
