Sold Average Domain for 5K

A friend of mine sold a very average domain for $5K

he was fucking happy!

Two days later he saw the new site up and running and noticed that Microsoft bought his domain for a new product


he is not that happy anymore

i guess he was just lucky.

maybe someday a spanish company is coming around and buys "megusto.com" which he still runs (maybe he wont sell it for that price anymore )

It didn't load very fast, but it did eventually load for me. It appears to be a new joint venture from Microsoft and Intel, just as mcmc said. Looks very interesting.

It appears Trout & Zimmer is a domain consulting business. They were probably hired to secure the domain for Billy boy.
