I know soci.al sold for $50,000.00 (link). Any other hacks gone for more?

..... Hacks? Is that what those URLs are called, or is that your term?

People have been calling them 'hacks' since at least 2000 (that's when I first heard it).

That's a pretty nice amount.. are there any others?

@edgeprod, first time I realised what a domain hack was also

Most recognizable was probably del.icio.us but they now forward that original hack to delicious.com. It's value being the site not the domain name though.

I don't know of any, but I could register some domains now with these extensions ;)

The term "domain hack" makes me think of incidents like Cohen swiping sex.com.
