Sex.com Sold for 13 Million
 

Sex.com has officially changed hands for $13 million in the largest cash domain sale ever reported.

So who is the buyer...

I really like what they have done with the place: http://www.sex.com/

I know it went through Sedo but I don't know who it went to.

Welcome to 2weeks ago! :winkwink:

The money changed hands officially yesterday. Do you or anyone from 2 weeks ago know who bought it ?

man, that domain purchase was a pure win!

waste of money IMO. nothing will happen with it

Insure.com, sold to QuinStreet for $16 million in 2009

source: http://most-expensive.net/domain-name

I think the price is ridiculous.

wow business around my ass ...

That was a website sale of a publicly traded company with other assets.
This is purely a domain name.

What a golden url to be parked. :(

Daily typein value really, what do you think? 100 bucks? 1k?

you can buy a shit load of beers for 13 mil D:

oh, gotcha :winkwink:

still not worth $13mm IMO

one dumb motherfucker.... :thumbsup





.

I heard it was an aussie, some guy real big into webcams, has a site called camgirls.com or something like that :thumbsup

Our Estimate Value: $33,467 USD and makes $47 USD a day
Estimate Visits Per Day 15,712


I doubt the current site makes even that 47$ / day.
Seriously when will someone actually try to monetize this url? Seems that most of its value is only in re-selling the domain for couple millions more once in few years.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that with his recent sig acquisition, Fatfoo was able to purchase the final piece to complete his internet empire.

well for those than can afford to waste such sums

Who the hell buys sex anyways??

yea no kidding, totally not worth that price

Old news.

$13,000,000 - that is quite amazing.

Is anyone experiencing Deja Vu??

so mucho dinero for only few keys i say :2 cents:

Anyone saying this was not worth it or a stupid investment needs their head examined.

Do you think that in 5-10 years that domain will be worth less?

Of course not.

I would also be completely surprised if this doesn't turn into a big ass site now.

Not a lot of money considering it's the best adult domain there is...

I would take porn.com, fuck.com, xxx.com before sex.com in 2010 the only people typing in sex.com are 8year olds... You would be better off buying $10 domain and spending $13million on advertising and/or traffic... :winkwink:

Now this part we agree on. :)

Wizzo FTW!

The new owner isn't going to turn it into a porn site. Its going the mainstream sex direction.

Very true... lot of jealous/ignorant morons in this thread... :uhoh

:uhoh more people are typing in fuck than sex? what the FUCK are you talking about? :uhoh

http://www.google.com/trends?q=fuck,+sex

This forum is full of so many ignorant ill advice giving morons it's ridiculous... :disgust

Wrong again :uhoh like jdoughs said - the domain will be worth the same or more in 5-10 years from now, it's a solid investment, let alone that you could receive residual income and/or develope it.

How about buying a $13million dollar domain and putting $13million into advertising and/or traffic?

The notion that it's better to invest money into site development, marketing, etc doesn't apply in all cases, and this isn't one of those cases... Where did you take marketing classes from? "beerporn" DamianJ?? :1orglaugh

http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex,+...e= all&sort=0
:1orglaugh shit man, the internet must be all 8 year olds

Sorry - I think it was useless weirdo cunt SallyRand that said domain names are irrelevant, not beerporn DamianJ ... my bad https://gfy.com/images/smilies/1orglaugh.gif ... :uhoh

nice deal for the seller

It's amazing to see what those illegal porn tubes have done for searches of porn. Soon as it went from searches resulting in just free pics and maybe a few tiny clips, now you get thousands of free videos, mostly full-length. Google knows what they're doing ranking those sites high. :disgust

Nah, the site would be great for a lot of shit that you couldn't do on porn.com. You don't get to 50k alexa without a pile of type ins either.

One of the best domains ever.

I still can remember buying traffic at sex.com when it was Grant Media, converted really well back in the day.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Are you joking? That site probably makes 4 figs a day

sold again? it´s been sold like 5 times since I joined this board

it would make more money as a mainstream site than an adult one.

this site would be perfect for a discussion board, selling sex products, sex advice, a weekly sex video podcast, new news in the industry that surfers would be interested in

could be massive!!

domain market is hot

There is a huge industry outside of porn that can be applied to this domain. Sex is huge, who doesn't like sex?

sex sells

that domain is cursed

congrats to the winner

Wow that's a lot of money for a domain...

funny how the guys at the kids table like to talk about the awful mistakes the grown-ups are making...
