Looks like a nice enduser sale... Thoughts?

it looks like a good price, but the seller could have been caught in a "situation".

osco drugs could have been putting some pressure on them, ala infringement emails and such.

if the seller had ever approached them, they (osco) could use that as evidence.

imo, the current domain usage as a website and biz model, puts it out of range for confusion of a pharmaceutical mark...so far.

however, the current owner is in a better position to negotiate a higher price with "osco drugs" should they be contacted.

again, imo...

Resale value means nothing to an end user. <$25K is a very small price to pay for a great domain / home on the internet for any company.

Agree. 25K is a very small expense that is only incurred once.

If selling domains were like collecting baseball cards, this approach would never get you the rare ones.

I've just tried to point out that it is a nice sale, with most probably an excellent ROI, nothing more.

I grew up going to Osco drug stores. I'm amazed that they didn't acquire this domain 15 years ago. Great sale, but whoever owned this domain knew what they had. They played it safe for sure.
