I came across this news article while surfing at work about Vodka.com. Apparently, some big shot russian vodka producer bought it for $3 million. This makes it one of the more expensive domains, but not top dog. Some other such transactions include:

"Vodka.com's price tag is among the highest ever revealed for a generic Web domain. In May, diamond.com reportedly sold for $7.5 million to jewelry retailer Ice.com. Business.com sold for $7.5 million in 1999.

Earlier this year, a source told Reuters that Sex.com had sold for around $12 million to a Boston-based company called Escom LLC, although the exact figure has never been disclosed."


Doesn't that just blow your mind? why didn't you think of buying sex.com back when the internet was fresh and unpolluted?

There's no use crying over spilled milk. We should instead redouble our efforts towards figuring out what's going to be the next big thing. I bet we could have sold pokemon.com for a nice sum had we owned it. Or wait..maybe they'd just have called their anal retarded toy cartoon phreakshow something else...

We'll never win.

You're right. Lets just put that in the dont-ask-dont-tell category...

I wonder what poker.com was sold for, for a long time before it became a pokersite it was just a portal for poker related stuff.
