Hello Matt,

Thank you for your inquiry into the Domain Name
linuxia64.org. We did not acquire this domain name for the
purpose of selling the domain name. However, at your request,
we will appraise the value of linuxia64.org. This appraisal will
take five business days.

If the previous domain name owners would like to make an offer
for linuxia64.org, please reply to this Email message with that offer.
Otherwise, we will contact you when the linuxia64.org appraisal is
complete.

Best Regards,
Wayne

We'll see what they come back with... It's not clear *why* they did
purchase the name, except to grab additional traffic.
-Matt
