    Breaking News: The Biggest Domain Sale Ever at $10 million

    In the last few months, a single domain name changed hands for $10 million.

    The sale was unreported, and both parties want it to remain that way, but I have first hand knowledge, knowing the parties involved.

    I know the name, but I cannot say here what it is, except that it makes perfect sense if you know the sector (cars) and the money involved.

    The price was for the domain only and not the site.

    This is a reminder of how few sales are actually reported and how insane the market is right now.

    It makes you wonder how long it can last, all this insanity.

                                it all runs in cycles - the market is hot now - and will die down for a bit and then pick back up
                                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                            Back in the day, CNet was really on top of things buying news.com, internet.com and many other generic terms. Wonder how much some of those are worth today?

                                                a shame the name is not public, always nice to know.

                                                Nonetheless it's apparent that the current domain market is booming.

                                                    The K-Man I know would not say "Cheers."


                                                    WTF is the point of this thread? Say the name damnit.
                                                    I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...
