    It's a good sale because it is a keyword being searched all the time.

    It is a bargain. Resume.com is just so generic. It should have been sold maybe for a really higher price

    It is definitely way less then what usual dictionary domain names go for I think. But maybe it is right. A lot more people look for jobs, rather then people/companies looking for resumes/cv's online...

    of course, even a social networking based on job search would've been awesome.
