punker barbie · 08-26-2005, 03:56 PM

im not shocked. i had gary on my radio show and he said if the price was right he would sell. so i guess someone finally came up with the right amount of $$$. if i remember correctly he said he would sell for 1.5 million. i can be mistaken but he did throw a # out there on my show.

sextoyking · 08-26-2005, 03:57 PM

Well not 1.5 Punker B

He would of had ppl beating down his door for that price

Tytan · 08-26-2005, 03:58 PM

Who bought the domain? who was it

Fucksakes · 08-26-2005, 04:00 PM

i like how dude makes it sound so easy, 17$ investment, like he didnt pay anything else into the site over the years.

pornguy · 08-26-2005, 04:01 PM

Worth every penny in the right hands.

Is this true?

WiredGuy · 08-26-2005, 04:07 PM

So any news on who the buyer was?

Furious_Male · 08-26-2005, 04:08 PM

it's been stolen for a while, but let's say it made him $15 Million till now and now he sells for $15 Million = that's $30 Million profit for a $70 investment, not bad

Not bad at all, indeed I would go so far as to say pretty good actually.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 08-26-2005, 04:15 PM

HE would have let it go for 1.5 Million?

God damn I would have bought it...

Sex keyword traffic is not necessarily looking for Porn.

CuriousToyBoy · 08-26-2005, 04:32 PM

I personally would NEVER use sex dot com...

Maybe the new ownership may change things ?

They had better do a damn lot to get my attention.

Drake · 08-26-2005, 04:41 PM

Who bought it? Do they plan on keeping it in it's current format (search engine)?

vicki · 08-26-2005, 04:44 PM

hmmm he got the sex.xxx tm based on ownership of sex.com ... were those tm rights transferred in the deal also?

Good luck Gary, I'm sure it's not the last we've seen of you.
I doubt Sex.com was the only adult website he owned.

15million was a great deal for him.

GalaxySearch.com is owned by his company also (Grant Media).

Just out of interest, does anyone know what kind of revenue sex.com has been generating in recent years particularly in light of the mixed comments on their services? (purchased PPC traffic etc.).

born4porn · 08-26-2005, 05:17 PM

sounds like a good deal for both parties and it's all about how you use it regardless of the cost!

tony286 · 08-26-2005, 05:21 PM

15 million isnt alot of money. Are you guys crazy especially when you consider online porn's uncertain future.

TheGoldenChild · 08-26-2005, 05:23 PM

I had been shopping sex.com
for about 4 mos and had brought some serious investors to the table- when Gary scoffed at $5 million I thought he was nuts-

Now I know what he had really going on-
Congrats Gary I can't wait to come by on Sunday and celebrate with you and the guys from Playboy magazine-

Katie says congrats too!

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 08-26-2005, 05:43 PM

He sold it to PlayBoy.

I spoke with Kremen, but since its a privately held company, he should be the only one disclosing rev numbers publicly.

Sure...totally understand that.

Just interested to know how the numbers graph looks (on a sliding scale no doubt) in relation to how it appeared several years ago.

Curious (more like bloody nosey).

JFK · 08-26-2005, 06:46 PM

FreeHugeMovies · 08-26-2005, 07:22 PM

Sold to Playboy? Those idiots can barely turn a profit from all of their traffic in past years. How long were they in the RED? I wonder what they plan on doing with this domain.

GTS Mark · 08-26-2005, 07:25 PM

Amazing price, good for Gary

DH

EroticySteve · 08-26-2005, 07:27 PM

Nice sale. $15 million is a lot. I wonder if he's still going to persue his lawsuits against that crook?

Steen2 · 08-26-2005, 07:36 PM

I am surprised it sold for (only) $15M. I'd value the domain alone at that.

DaddyHalbucks · 08-26-2005, 07:40 PM

SEX.COM is a steal at $15 million. That's chump change to Playboy. That name has tremendous potential. Oh well..

Anyway.... it does tie in with this story very well.

At that price it depends what you are going to do with it. To turn it into a powerhouse it could go mainstream sexuality with a huge corporate marketing campaign.

But think about it, for $15 Million you could buy 30 $500,000 domains, or 150 $100,000 domains, or 1,500 $10,000 domains or take a $7 domain and pour $15 Million into a marketing campaign or buy 5 $1 Mil domains and have $10 Mil left to market those.
