Its interesting that they initially rented and decided to buy the domain later.. Yes, "Massager" is the more private & popular term for "Vibrator" but the asking price of Massager.com that the owner set is a ridiculous $370k and no wonder its not sold yet! Unless some company rents it from them and later decides to buy (like in the case of vibrators domain), I don't see it selling for this high amount. May be 150k. Probably even less. Just goes to prove that majority of domain owners need to really understand the market value of a domain and not to get personally attached and have over high expections..
