how do you always come up with shit like that :1orglaugh

come on KB, you know it was worth more than $5m

I bet you could almost get that for a couple of old Milfs ;)

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). :)

WOW, Nice, congrats to both parties :thumbsup

I shoulda bought it...damn!

KB has no idea what anything is worth, we are talking about KB here.

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.

Amazing price, good for Gary :)

DH

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

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

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

Has to be more than that

:2 cents:

Not sure if there is a bit of Chinese Whispers going on here...

Where did the news that PlayBoy bought it come from?

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

:pimp

I guess everybody has their price..congrats to both parties

damn i was wondering when that domain would sell.

Sex.com is useless...

Lars, where were you?! You know a cam site would have been the ultimate moneymaker on that domain. :upsidedow

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.

now they finally can optimise it

Congrads to everyone involved.
Great selling price, and an even better buy price.

Crazy news.

Again it depends what the buyer does with it to setup their ROI.

As it was, $15 Mil was on the high end.

Holy shit ! Sig spot on page 3 :D

Or you could buy one of the best names for $15 Million and pour another $15 Million into it. Im sure whoever bought it already has a plan in mind of what they're going to do with it.

sig placement ;)

i'd expect this thread to get bigger.... but then again, there're no pics in it

who cares..the quality of traffic has gone down a lot in the last year or so...good riddance

it wont be jack shit unless they go mainstream with it

I was thinking the exact same thing. But if you want the king in adult domains sex.com is it :thumbsup

I had sold sexy ringtones on that domain.. probably make the money back in a year.

:2 cents: :)

you know ive never been to sex.com

41 grand a day selling ringtones?

thats a good idea sex.com would bank good $$$$$$ selling ringtones.

New ideas = $$$$$$

No way. I'd rather have Porn.com, Adult.com, Pussy.com, Tits.com, Ass.com, etc.

So much for that domain name:

From Google:
Sorry, no information is available for the URL sex.com

If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: sex.com
Find web pages from the site sex.com
Find web pages that contain the term "sex.com"

Good luck to Gary

Me 2 10 1 million dollar domains network them all together would make you way more money than sex.com. Like i said i totally agree with you on spreading it out more. :thumbsup

The site needs a makeover.

Damn yeah.. what a crappy site on a fantastic domain.
