    Sex.com sells for $14 million

    http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/01/19/0046238.shtml

    The infamous and controversial domain Sex.com has officially been sold to Boston-based Escom LLC for a reported $14 million. Sex.com owner Gary Kremen was unavailable for comment, but a source from Kremen's company, Grant Media, told XBiz that sales for the famous domain name will still be handled through Grant Media's San Francisco offices. While other terms of the acquisition remain unknown, XBiz was able to locate information on the deal through a company called InternetRealEstate.com, which shares office space in Boston with Domain Name Acquisition Group (DNAG), a company that was involved in a lawsuit surrounding the Sex.com domain in September."

    Re: Sex.com sells for $14 million

    If they have sold sex.com, I bet .xxx will be scheduled by ICANN soon.

    Sex.com is kind of a benchmark for all sex-related .com's. If you have some really good one, you'd better look around for buyers

    sex.com is a name that can be hurt by the .xxx extension hence the low $14 million price. After all sex.xxx can become a real competitor

    $US14M is cheap for all the headaches this domain has caused Mr Gary Kremen IMO
