    Sex.com has generally been a very poorly managed domain. It has not been well-promoted, the SEO is very poor, etc. The revenue it takes in probably no more than half of the reasonable short term potential. That can have a huge impact on sale price, because people want guaranteed returns and proof when spending that kind of money.

    They dont need to search for anyone, it already got a big publicity. So if somebody is interested then he will find them.

    I would guess it would sell for around 3-5 million, there is not that much money these days for companies to splurge like they used to on big domain names. Ok i have only checked the first page of this thread, I will see how close I was in a minute... ;)

    Edit: ok I was only out by 8 million, no big deal lol!

    sex.com has huge potential. So My guess is 20$ million. Why do I say this? Because in the past 2 years we have seen an explosion in sex video "tube" sites. However, since most of these sites came late to the game they never were able to buy good domains. Sex.com for a porn tube site is the holy grail. Who ever buys it and puts a porn tube site there will make boat loads of money.

    Better yet, here is a good idea. Add a free porn tube site and then go to all the major porn companies and offer a hulu style porn feature for them.

    That will revolutionize online porn.

    It has been sold already...
    A tube eats a lot of bandwidth and as it's clear in adult most tubes can only sell memberships to cam/dating sites. Paysites/videos simply don't sell that good at tubes.
