Just an interesting story to share with fellow domainers here.
I bought artgallerylive.com here from another member a while back for like $100 or something. The other day I get an email with artgallerylive.com in the subject, thought it was an inquiry from whois looking to buy the domain so I open the email. It is someone asking "how I wound up with the domain?" ,so I am now thinking somewhere along the line of trading hands it was hijacked or pushed into a wrong account or something, unusual question it seemed to me. So I answered that I purchased it somewhere, and why he was asking. The reply email he tells me he was just wondering where it wound up after all this time, because back in 2000 it was his company that he started , http://web.archive.org/web/20010202165300/http://www.artgallerylive.com/ to make the long story short, he goes on to tell me they IPO'd the company and lost 7 million $ in a relatively short time, ouch!!!
