Well fuck me, adultfriendfinder.co sold for $5,600 USD

Too rich for my blood.

I thought I had that domain after registering it as soon as .co registrations were announced, and being told by godaddy it was available.

I find it:

a) fucked up that godaddy can get away with telling you it's available prior to taking your $250 or whatever it was, and once **cough** "registering" it, being told it's going to auction.

b) that adultfriendfinder didn't pre-register the domain themselves seeing they obviously have copyright ownership. maybe just an oversight or they felt .co's are worthless.

c) a bit of a gamble seeing i) no-one knows how that tld will rank ii) there surely can't be that many people mis-typing the full URL in without the "m", and anyway, many of those will already be members trying to get to the home page.

Mind you, it could go well. I have a few of their foreign TLD's and have been pushing them for years.

Good luck to the .co winners!
