Another Six-Figure domain sold... though not by me this time. LOL.
$200,000 for BIRD.com
sold on Afternic 05.05.05
$200,000... nice. I love the domain game.
doesn't matter if anyone thinks it's worth it or not because the buyer really wanted it:

After doing research, turns out new owner is CEO of PERKS.com (another great domain) and runs ZCapital

http://www.ZCapital.com

Alexander Tabibi, M.D.
Chief Executive Officer
Alex came to Perks as CEO after years of closely following the company?s advances.
Alex?s interest stemmed from his position as President of ZCapital - a privately held investment firm based in Los Angeles that specializes in technology companies that use new mediums to deliver a range of new services. Having seen the success and failure of many companies based on the motivation and knowledge base of the employees and VAR?s of these products and services ? the web seemed to make a unified motivation portal the most efficacious and the most cost-efficient methodology for delivering real-time incentives.

And according to the ZCAPITAL portfolio (
http://www.zcapital.com/portfolio.asp) they already own/manage DOG.COM (
http://www.dog.com)

Dogs Outfitters is a leading catalogue and online supplier of discount priced pet supplies. Found at www.dog.com they supply both content and products to pet owners as well as wholesale buyers of bulk products.

So now that they have DOG.com and BIRD.com, I guess the value of CAT.com just went up.
but I doubt CATERPILLAR will let that go cheap. LOL.
