Have you ever seen a domain name for sale that is accompanied by an incredibly long description or explanation of why you should purchase it?   Things like what it means in another language, what it is a misspelling of, or a full paragraph about how incredibly valuable it will be someday.  If its going to be so valuable, why are you selling it?!?

Before buying a domain, I always take the possible requirement of a explanation into account.  Generally if it requires explanation, I don’t buy it.  The two exceptions to this rule are when people provide related domain sales values and when details are provided for geo domains.  If you’re try to sell me a geo domain, let me know the population, tourism information, and any other information that might be useful.   I will of course verify that information prior to purchasing, but it gives me a snapshot and grabs my attention.  

If a domain is going to be truly valuable (non-geo), it should really sell itself just by typing the domain name.  If an explanation is needed, it probably isn’t worth nearly what you think it is.
