If these names are offered for sale, they're going to be auctioned to the 
highest bidders. The only question is who's going to get the money.  I 
would be surprised if the auction raised as much as $20 million (look at 
the three existing single letter domains q.com, x.com. and z.com after 
all) but that's still enough that it's worth thinking about where best to 
direct the money.
