Patents, at their best, are for IP that requires significant capital investment like drug development or wireless modem chips or things like that. You have to pay a bunch of talented and expensive people a bunch of money for a long time how to figure out how to make the thing.
But once they figure it out, replicating the thing is fairly easy and cheap. In this case patent licensing is great because it allows for there to be some companies that do the invention and others that do the manufacturing. The patent license is the bridge between these two things.
Patents are at their worst for IP that is just "I had an idea." Because, honestly, ideas are easy. Lots of people have ideas. Most ideas aren't original. When patents get issued for this sort of thing they mostly just cause problems. The lawsuit in the original link here is a good example of that. Someone had an idea to "provide an internet third party data channel" which is....kind of silly. A bunch of people had that idea. The idea had so little value it got sold for $1 but then it got turned into a series of annoying lawsuits that just cost a bunch of people a bunch of money with no good outcome for anyone.
Based on your comments, it kinda sounds like the patent you have falls into the latter category and not the former which is why other commenters are skeptical of you. Maybe they're wrong though, but unless you are willing to talk about your patent (or link to it!) it's hard to really judge.
Public assignment records often state that a thing was sold for “$1 plus other good and valuable consideration” to keep the actual sale price confidential. The $1 is there to ensure the contract is enforceable and there’s no rule that says the other good and valuable consideration isn’t a whole lot of additional dollars.
