I posted this on another topic recently where they were selling a name with the word Twitter in the domain name.

From Twitter's page regarding use of the marks and use of the word Twitter in domain names:

http://support.twitter.com/entries/77641

Naming your Application or Product, Applying for a Domain

We understand that you want your application or product that enhances the Twitter experience to be identifiable as part of the Twitter ecosystem. This is important to us too, but Twitter is also the name of our service and company, so we're cautious about potential confusion.

Do:

1. Name your website, product, or application with something unique. Uses of Tw-, and Twit- are generally okay with us.

2. Feel free to include language on your site explaining that your application is built on the Twitter platform so people understand your product.

3. Use Tweet in the name of your application only if it is designed to be used exclusively with the Twitter platform.

Don't:

1. Use Twitter in the name of your website or application.

2. Use just "Tweet" or "Tweet" with a simple letter or number combination (for example, 1Tweet, Tweet, Tweets).

3. Register a domain containing twitter (or misspellings of twitter).

4. Apply for a trademark with a name including Twitter or Tweet (or similar variations thereof).

5. Use Tweet in the name of your application if used with any other platform.
 
Well, twitter is huge, so I guess there is some value to it. It went higher than I expected it to though. Perhaps the buyer intends to create an application/site and has something very specific in mind.
 
Don't:

2. Use just "Tweet" or "Tweet" with a simple letter or number combination (for example, 1Tweet, Tweet, Tweets).

I think "simple letter or number combination" pretty much rules out adding just 'Re' to create 'ReTweet' without irritating the Twitter legal team.

Great price for the seller, I certainly wouldn't have valued it at £2,000+
