A twist to this story is that in February the owner of the domain tried to cold call the name to SEO industry people @ $500k, and of course got laughed out of the room.

And here's where it might hurt for some of you: Only 30 uniques a day and $5 in revenue.

It's a good name, but honestly 5 million is crazy for a name like that. Sure it's a awesome name in it's nice circle, but really how many average Joe's' on the net have a clue as to what SEO means. Or better yet how many would even care.

IMO 500k was probably a realistic number but maybe even 250k. Some idiot paying 5 million for that domain, is why the internet bubble is going to burst again.

Holy crap, nice sale. But 5m though...not sure if it could gain that back easily, although reselling the domain in the years to come could increase its value as domains become scarce.

Yea, we were discussing that on another board. Dunno, could be partial payments, whois doesn't change until full payment. Hard to tell. Wicked site up there though--and they're trying to do social networking type site.

Funny.

I've heard of the same, and felt it with a domain myself. Truly priceless when it goes on to generate more revenue.

Guess it comes down to the LAST laugh... all the way to the bank.
