well since mr shaw decided to tell you guys all early, might as well say a piece on it.. i thought it would be in the best interest of my company to invest in some prime online real estate, so we picked it up and have a lot of interesting things in store, and will share with you shortly

You'd have to see their bottom line first. I have no inside info, purely a reasonable assumption, but their profits have been slipping for awhile now.

Hehe always some poeple say $15M - that ain't a lot, as if they were sitting on millions by themselves.

The traffic might be stable ( although hard to predict what possibly .xxx will bring ) but the conversions surely have dropped in adult over the years.

LOL - True, I was going to add in my post that although I think 15 mil isnt a lot - if I had sold it I would be rolling round the floor like a nutter crying tears of joy.

he got that domain for 70 bucks 13 or so years ago

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

In my opinion, 20, 15 - whatever - it was a good buy for the buyers and for Gary a good sell.

Until .coms, .Anything is gone and we have something different down the road, I think they will easily make money back.....
