      im not shocked. i had gary on my radio show and he said if the price was right he would sell. so i guess someone finally came up with the right amount of $$$. if i remember correctly he said he would sell for 1.5 million. i can be mistaken but he did throw a # out there on my show.

                He told me is was going to happen, so I would guess it is for real . . . my understanding is it only includes .com not .net or any other tlds

                          it's been stolen for a while, but let's say it made him $15 Million till now and now he sells for $15 Million = that's $30 Million profit for a $70 investment, not bad
                          Not bad at all, indeed I would go so far as to say pretty good actually.

                            HE would have let it go for 1.5 Million?

                            God damn I would have bought it...

                                Sex keyword traffic is not necessarily looking for Porn.

                                  Maybe the new ownership may change things ?

                                  They had better do a damn lot to get my attention.

                                            I doubt Sex.com was the only adult website he owned.

                                            15million was a great deal for him.

                                                  Good luck Gary, I'm sure it's not the last we've seen of you.
                                                  I doubt Sex.com was the only adult website he owned.

                                                  15million was a great deal for him.
                                                  GalaxySearch.com is owned by his company also (Grant Media).

                                                  Just out of interest, does anyone know what kind of revenue sex.com has been generating in recent years particularly in light of the mixed comments on their services? (purchased PPC traffic etc.).

                                                    sounds like a good deal for both parties and it's all about how you use it regardless of the cost!

                                                        15 million isnt alot of money. Are you guys crazy especially when you consider online porn's uncertain future.

                                                          I had been shopping sex.com
                                                          for about 4 mos and had brought some serious investors to the table- when Gary scoffed at $5 million I thought he was nuts-

                                                          Now I know what he had really going on-
                                                          Congrats Gary I can't wait to come by on Sunday and celebrate with you and the guys from Playboy magazine-

                                                          Katie says congrats too!

                                                                                          Where did the news that PlayBoy bought it come from?

                                                                                          Anyway.... it does tie in with this story very well.
