    Aside from the obvious fighting and bidding over an already claimed single domain name, what factors into the inherent pricing of a domain?

      The domain registry (basically owner of the domain ending) sets the price.

      Edit: Though it should be mentioned there’s a power above them (ICANN) that has to approve the price.
