It's intriguing and scary to think about how fast things could change in the domain arena.
You have to appreciate that these things make money, every single day, when they are undeveloped via ppc. Real world real estate isn't like that: you have to have tenants of some kind.

You never know what name you sell will end up as what brand or business. I sold swirve.com some years ago for $2500 or so (I paid reg fee for it so that was some kind of multiple) and I remember not long after I sold it sitting on vacation reading the NYTimes tech section and swrive.com was shown as one of the top 20 trafficked sites at the time.

I could have cried.

On the other hand, sweet payday for that name.
