How Much Money Do Domain Speculators Make?

I've been busy creating my newest baby, http://www.twitterlistings.org a website that features hand tailored search queries to help people buy and sell homes on - of all places twitter.com. One week into the project, I've been approached by someone who wants to sell me the .com domain. I don't know whether to be flattered or annoyed. I haven't even finished editing 47 of the 50 US States.

The email reads
Priority Domain Availability Notice for twitterlistings.com:
In the next few days, twitterlistings.com will be listed for sale.  Since you have a similar domain name, I thought you might be interested in acquiring twitterlistings.com.
You can confirm your interest in the domain twitterlistings.com by filling out the form here: http://theirdomainomitted.
After I receive a confirmation that you are interested in the domain twitterlistings.com, I  will be in touch with you promptly to make arrangements.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

It's my hope that you love the priority domain notice system.  If you don't, just open the following link and you won't receive anymore
On one side of the coin is the attention. My baby got noticed by someone and they think that it was worth something. Normally, if you buy a domain, you could do so with only $10. I am betting that these guys would be selling twitterlistings.com to me for far more than that.

Well, unfortunately, I don't have more than that! I was actually contemplating on purchasing two more domains this month. But I changed my mind. I mean, my wife changed my mind, because we've had to buy some medicines for the kids who are sick with fever.

Anyway, I already sent the guy an email which simply reads, "Hi, how much?"

When he answers I'll post it on this blog so the people who are interested in entering this domaining business will learn how much money could be made in it.

UPDATE: They answered but they haven't told me how much money they want me to buy it for.
