How much would a domain like "F.com" sell for?

Most likely millions, and millions of dollars.

Nothing, icann will prolly never release it to the public...

There was only a few released back when domains first started and they ended up deciding to keep them for somereason..

I know paypal owns x.com, but that is all I know of..

They are both (x and z.com) kinda getting wasted, they should sell them to someone who would put something cool on them...

"Such domains are rare, as on December 1, 1993, IANA explicitly reserved all single letter and single digit second-level domain names in the TLDs .com, .net, and .org. This was done in case the registries for these domains became overloaded. Recently, ICANN has considered auctioning off their domains.

However, the few such domains that were already assigned were not recalled; They were grandfathered in and therefore were not affected by the restrictions that have existed since."

Paypal has X.com, Nissan has Z.com and Qwest has Q.com.

I believe they can't be transferred. Owners can renew them but once they expoere they are gone forever.

there is not much value in something you can't sell... Marketing z.com as "the" place to be for nissan related infowould be more expensive than marketing nissan.com. The accountant is actually doing a great job saving the firm 9 bucks/year.

no need to shoot for the stars when one can use the Pending Delete Domain Watcher at http://IPalert.com and grab dictionary domains, dmoz-listed domains, 2-character/3-character domains, and also watch pending delete domains by keyword.

hit some singles and doubles to start the cycle

nothing saying you couldn't lease out use of the domain.

X.com was not always paypal.

it is amazing how people cuss out the domain game, the internet is only growing not slowing down, domains are even better then top real estate for that reason.

You do know the Nissan Z is a massive part of their marketing right? The Z series is basically the only Nissan I wouldn't have minded seeing in my garage. For a rice rocket the 350Z GT actually looked pretty slick ;)
