Give me a break.
And who is going to order hot sauce over the net?
People are paying money to see "Shemales" on the net however.
Big money. The price made business since in many ways
Buyers are looking to make money not just brand a product and in most cases the people with the big money to buy already have a branded product.
I believe the right buyer would pay a million for hot.com but claimng that it would get that in any auction on any domain site it probably way off.
That's what I'm saying.
I can sell a bag of my shit for 50k if the buyer is a private detective trying to get my DNA sample for the murder of Prince Charles; but that would not be the "market value" for a bag of my shit.

Well free to your opinion, but I have little doubt that hot.com would easily go in the 5 to 10 million range at least.
Its done around 300,000 uniques a month as far back as Alexa goes. With nothing but crap on the page for the life of the domain. That means those are mainly typins. If the owner started a campaign either mainstream on tv, or adult and pushed it the easy to remember short to type in domain would be a huge hit. And remember its not sex.com so there is no taboo with it.

Take a look at Sex.com vs hot.com vs shemale.com Remember sex.com has had many advertising campaigns, and people making traffic trades etc etc. Shemale.com Im sure had the same. Now look at the steady traffic on hot.com that has had none of that. Though if you do go back a ways you see huge traffic on sex.com but that shows you it wasnt all typins back then. Hot.com is a steady steady traffic producer with little effort.
$100k is a silly number to apply to a 3 letter VERY popular term.
