    It's alexa ranking is in the 6 million range and it's PR1. Kinda hard to believe that it's worth that much. But who knows?

    Well, whoever works at the IRS and valued this domain/site sure needed to spend a few bucks for a legit appraisal. Unless this Doctor is famous, I don't see why anyone would bid even a small fraction of their desired minimum bid. $200K? LOL

    I've been trying to figure out why exactly it should be worth that much, maybe it has a steady source of revenue or something

    I know this post is old but can IRS seize any domain names they want?
