    Most diggers probably have no clue about the sex.com domain-jacking and lawsuits...
    I'm sure we'll see dutiful diggers posting related articles from 2001 as "new" news now.

    I'm still waiting for the day we see a homicide or suicide somehow related to the sex.com domain name. Believe you me... that day will come.

  • j0keR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember one of my friends back in elementary school telling me that it was the first porn site he had ever been to. Wonder how many kids they hope to sucker into using their parent's credit card? =P.
  • foshizol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For some reason I thought it would sell for more.
  • scarybunnyman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha.... anyone else mouse over the link before clicking on it.... just to "check"?
  • model82, on 01/22/2009, -0/+0I made a bet of 10million but had to settle for http://what-is-love.info and http://swingersex4u.com for 10 dollars but I'm satisfied with them.
  • nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0weird, i wouldve never thought to go to sex.com

  • sych0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0l0l0l0lz @ your avatar sw96 :) +1 for it
  • majoogybobber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think the best domain names are less of a commodity now that everyone just googles for whatever they're finding.
  • unixformat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i believe sex.com had a much higher valuation to the $14 million in the dot com days. There has been talk of sex.com being stolen and $100 million profit on the site.

    For a domain name to be worth millions of dollars, you would have expected a million dollar job of a website, it seems this is not the case Did the purchaser go broke wih the purchase or is this a long term investment?

  • FelixdaaHack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Then why are you in here batty you hapless dolt
  • wblogger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hah, it was sold at a much much higher price than business.com!

    This clearly reflects life's priorities :p

    True
  • cyberair, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is absolutely a bargain. A recent article reported that at one point sex.com was making Cohen over $750,000 per month. The site is in the rise for media attention everywhere. It was only going to go up from here.

    Then again, Kremen must be exhausted from all the Sherlock Holmes drama behind his Odyssey to regain control of it.
