I don't always agree with Rick, but he is one of the most interesting and smooth business men I've ever come across.

If I remember correctly, Rick bought the domain for something like $150,000 and the domain was bringing in several thousand a month from ads. I definitely thing it was a smart idea to sell the domain exactly the way he did it because:

1.) $3m in the bank can fund a lot of acquisitions
2.) residuals will end up making him as much as he made before

All hail the king.
