That's not news. That's ancient history.

My apologies. I messed up.

Sigh! Some of us here would even argue that business.com might not even sell for that price ($150,000) NOW (although I very much disagree with that).

Check out this quote from the article above..

Domain names based on ordinary, easy-to-remember words, such as "tv.com" and "internet.com," fetch astronomical sums considering their original owners paid nothing or next to nothing to register them.

For example: Last year, the publishers of this site, CNET: The Computer Network, paid $15,000 for "tv.com."

Half (if not more) of all the most famous domains ever sold .... beauty.cc, business.com, altavista.com, loans.com were NEVER sold for the amounts stated.

I would speculate that the long term value of TV.com is A LOT MORE than $ 15,000.

Just for the irony, I'd like to make TV.com a travel site about the islands of Tuvalu, and selll dot-com names on com.tv

So you have NOT heard about the legendary story regarding television.com ...

I think the only sure record business.com has set is that it's the most quoted and repeated domain sales story in history.

Maybe it was bought by the guy trying to get millions of $$ out of Nigeria.
