    What!? 35 G's for 1 W? This guy turned $5 into $35,000 when he bought the expired Internet domain name for former President George W. Bush's presidential library and then sold it back.
    I assume this is best section to post? Thought I'd share this news story. Unbelievable!

    That's incredible. It makes me wonder what domains I can buy myself in this fashion, or what I can cleverly preempt and buy in anticipation of a big product, movie, personality, or whatever, and then sell to the entity concerned for a ridiculous fee.

    That was good move on his part to acquire that domain name. I wonder how much traffic it got daily during those 2 years..

    Lucky indeed. The library could've held the man liable, but they didn't for who
    knows what.
