I thought this was an announcement of pastersinalot and xpays going in to business together.

cool little read.

Beer.com sale was $2 million in cash plus $5 million in shares. The investors who sold Beer.com bought the domain in 1998 for under $100K. Nice profit and hopefully the shares are holding up

Out of these domains I would say it would be easy to make money with Israel.com and Toys.com

Insure Sex Fund Porn

Wonder how much they are worth today.

Mostly parked... So how good did they do?

Been busy developing sites so haven't increased my domain collection but I still have 500+ aged mainstream domains. Sell one here and there in the x,xxx-xx,xxx range. Used to sell pretty frequently but been too busy so my sales have dropped due to lack of promotion.

Why would you pay ten million dollars for a domain. Buy a domain for $5 and drop five million into promoting it. Would go a lot further.

When I think back to my first domain names and how little I sold them for it almost makes me physically ill.

I thought niggagram.com was the most expensive domain.

:2 cents::2 cents::thumbsup

I wish I registered those domains in the 90's...

evan would never broker garbage like his.

I wish I´d known about internet in 1994 - I´d be rolling in money. I believe sex.com was first registered around that time.

One of the 90s big traffic domains are in my sig BTW...
