    I was listening to a live auction a couple months ago, and it only got a $7 million bid. The reserve was at $7.5 million, I think.

    I can't say I am suprised... considering that the porn industry is so big, I think that is a bargain....

    i believe it..i'm sure the new owner has a bit larger plans though, since a few thousand a month equals a bad ROI...

    I almost feel bad for the guy that sold it for a mere $47,000

    Well sex.com sold for 14 million if I recall but the deal was not all cash, shares and stakes where involved.

    That is a vast amount of money for such a domain, only if I had of thought to buy it when the net started.

    Seems like it would actually be worth more. Not a bad return on investment for $47,000.
