I must be getting in too deep (re: domain names) because I find this price justifiable.

I'm sure the decent PR didn't hurt the price either - as well as they obviously are making some cash on banner ad sales.

Gambling is the most profitable niche there is, so it makes sense that this name would go for basically 5-10x what most other names of that quality would go for.

You should market that as ultra exclusive online casino for high rollers.

They have a lot of incoming links (due to their old content, before they shifted to PPC), and also a HUGE database of 200,000 double opt-in emails, which contribute significantly to the value of the deal. Not a pure domain deal, but obviously the domain is worth at least $8 million of the $20 million, in my opinion.
See the company's press release, at: http://www.xworks.com/press.asp?y=2005&id=197

That's a $5-$8 million domain. $20 million is paying through the nose. they probably got it appraised on one of those $4.99 appraisal sites and though
$20 million was a steal. lol |

the company was making over $3 million a year, so it has significant value outside the domain

You can't get too much of a better domain name for a gambling related site than that. That's to the gambling industry as sex.com is to the adult industry.

Ricks understands it well -- it was under 10 times their gross profit, so it was a reasonably good purchase....comparable to the Marchex deal (although with Marchex, those were all undeveloped domains).

Nice sale.
As AVM pointed out, makes casino.com look like a great deal. It probably will turn out ($5m casino.com) to be a great deal in the long run.
