I am plenty familiar. I think you've misunderstood the scenario. I'm talking about an end-user trying to browse to your for-sale domain. The user's ISP (handling the DNS query) sees your domain's for-sale TXT record and redirects the user to their (the user's ISP) own site. Like some do now for NXDOMAIN.
I suppose that's hypothetically possible but it's hard to imagine it'd be worth the effort. There are a lot of domains for sale (even though few have the tag) and most are basically worthless. It is also my impression that turning NXDOMAIN into web ads has largely gone away. A lot of the ISPs I see don't even bother to provide a DNS cache and point the customers at 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
