People launch shit at camgirls for spending what he did on that domain and doing nothing since, and I personally think he overpaid for it, but at worst he'll still have the domain and it will be gaining value over time.
You said it, "strong domains". I think there was a real separation that happened between the domains that actually held value and all the others. On a related note, I was also surprised by the number of domains that were sold for stock in startups.
