 Another Six-Figure domain sold! $200,000
 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:

 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 )

So now that they have DOG.com and BIRD.com, I guess the value of CAT.com just went up.  :1orglaugh but I doubt CATERPILLAR will let that go cheap. LOL. |
