Do People really buy premium domain name ?

Hello Guys,

I was searching a domain name,easy to remember,catchy,and short..
But i have seen that many popular domain names are very costly as premium labeled.

Example - sport.com ..play.com etc...

Price was around $1000-$10,000 ( i seen such type of prices)

Anyone pay such type of amount for a popular domain name?
