personally property.com was always one of my favourite domains in existence and mindboggling potential. that was worth what he got all day long. although, it doesnt look 'developed' and very poor design. Rick you really need to get some decent developers

with this candy sale, i think he got way over its worth. i mean how many people buy that online? sure maybe belgian chocolates etc , but markup is small on sweets and people really love to buy themselves and you can buy them ANYWHERE, and people want NOW, not even tomorrow. anyway congrats to Rick, this is another ireport sale imo where although this is a pure generic, its never worth a fraction of this imho
Great sale! My congratulations to Mr Schwartz!

Pred, I agree with you that candy is not one of those things people usually buy over the net, although if they're selling really exclusive candy as you mentioned (like swiss chocolate) that could be done successfully on the net. But If nothing else they could just wrap all the candy they sell in paper imprinted with "candy.com", maybe some people would be curious enough as to visit the site
