This is the best situation,: where the buyer comes to you, not the other way around. Vodka.com was a very unique situation and one that I doubt can be repeated by cold-calling a list of prospective suitors for a domain. From my experiences approaching an end user buyer is likely to get you the worst offers you've ever seen and if you have a sticker price on your domain, it's likely to get you many laughs in reply emails or phone calls. However, I think if you have mid-grade domains (like under $5k price range) or domains that better suit a company, you can do well approaching end users. Say for example you call a company with the domain InfinityWirelessWisconsin.com and you own InfinityWireless. You are likely to get a buyer if your price is fair.
