The domain name owners that can hold on to their domain names and not sell them in the next 2 years will be able to sell them for a GREAT PROFIT (two or more words domain names will be sold for a minimum $10 thousand). To YOUR SUCCESS I have known that the domain name $ value is increasing daily as many more people enter the domain name market.

Must be getting traffic right away. The domain has a nice Google pagerank of 5, and lots of returns in Google. Must be getting traffic right away.

However, I do see this as market validation for the price range of that particular domain, seeing as it sold second time for quite close to what it did the first time. I'm guessing that what such a high price for this domain is not the strength of the domain name exactly (not that strong, IMO), but the fact that it had been a developed site since 2001, had a number of high quality backlinks built into it (with impressive traffic stats), and had an Alexa ranking in the mid-400,000s. Pre-built traffic is worth paying for indeed. It's also interesting how quickly the new owners developed a site for the domain, considering that Ron Jackson recently reported at DNJournal that of the top 100 domains purchased in year 2007, only 30% or so are now developed into websites (or something along those lines) . Now, this site is not a super robust development job, but hey, it's a heck of a lot more useful than a basic parking page - and I'd bet more lucrative as well. Will check into what tools they used to build that thing, so thanks for bringing this to our attention. In the end, it's development that fleshes out the true value of any domain.
