However when I email the owners, they never ever respond.
Even if it says to inquire about buying at some email,
it's useless because they never respond.

I have had emails asking me to sell one of my domain names. I don't
respond because it looks like an attempt to get one of my valid email
addresses for spam.

I assume that the domains in question don't have a page saying
"this domain for sale; contact me at doaminsales (AT) example (DOT) com"...

Yes, but I suspect your name in question isn't advertised as "for sale".
The point here is about names that *are* for sale, and are advertised as
such.

I contacted the email address in the WHOIS and the contact address
on the webpage (if any) of four domains that had for-sale webpages
with a "I would like to purchase this domain; what is the price?"
emails. One had a webform which I als filled out. I got no replies
and two bounced emails. Not a huge sample, but one wonders why four
different domain owners would register a domain and advertise it as
being for sale without supplying any mechanism for potential buyers
to contact them.
