Well at some point you have to pull some cash out of your domains, even premiums can sit for years and years waiting for the right buyer. I wonder if it was the same owner who sold, maybe they have dozens of domains like that. With $6000 US you can do a few things. I agree the buyer got a great deal too.
Makes me wonder why WHC and other .ca drop catchers don't set up a mirror auction list every week where domainers can submit their own names, WHC can pick and choose which to list, and how many. Seems the market is there for it, and they could make a 10 or 15% commission. Especially when there are poor TBR weeks or they don't catch the best names.
