            That domain is worth more than that.

              what kind of website would you find at website.com?

              I'm guessing a home page with an animated gif as the background and family vacation galleries.

                        Do most of the domain gurus here think that was a good price to sell at?

                          I think the domain itself is worth way more than that.

                              For domain only, $750K USD is an excellent price.

                              However, if website.com is currently earning decent revenue, the price was likely way too low.

                              I've had serious offers upwards of $500K USD for CANNABIS.COM domain name package - a site most folks have never heard of with an occurance rate somewhat lower in google than website.com :

                              # of results in google:

                              website.com: 293,000
                              cannabis.com: 171,000

                              Overture Score:

                              website.com (with extension): 1006
                              cannabis.com (with extension): 106 (but has been as high as 1200 or so; Overture is not ranking cannabis.com correctly lately for some unknown reason)

                              Alexa:

                              website.com: not ranked - very suprising!
                              cannabis.com: 62,567

                              (not that accurate, but most any site with decent traffic will at least have a ranking)

                                With development, sure. As a single domain I think thats a fair price. I'm no domain guru, but I think if it could go for more it would have been sold at a much higher price.

                                          exactly. if someone's got the funds to do offline advertising, this is a killer. where would you host your website? website dot com, of course! you dont forget that, no matter how high you are. gold mine, absolute gold mine. i am absolutely *pissed* i didnt know about this sale.
