Curious to see what something like that goes for.

Probably 6 figs if not more.

Im thinking high 6 figures.

Im thinking high 6 figures.

Sort of what I had in my head. I wouldn't be shocked if it cracked 7 ...

 

[pocketrockets]

6 figures?? waaay higher than that.

Porn.com sold for $9m+ a few years ago and Sex.com has a much broader appeal (yes these were during better economic times but top .com's still sell fetch high premiums)

Probably 6 figs if not more.

Considering you need to make an escrow deposit of $1 million just to bid, I'm going to say $5-10 million

Probably 6 figs if not more.

You need 1,000,000 in escrow to even bid.

I remember the legal battle over this domain in the 90's.

I'm guessing 8-15 million. (And only that low because of the economy.)

7 figures, maybe even 8 - it was bought for (allegedly) $14m about 4 years ago. Porn.com sold for $9.5m a couple of years ago

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

6 figures - you guys are nuts. Russia.com sold for $1.5 million last year.

Sex.com = 8 figures for sure.

1) Spend $14 million on a domain.
2) Start thinking wtf do you put on that domain.
3) Recession. Loose your investors.
4) You ran out of money and your $14M domain is useless (and you never even used it for anything).
5) Sell your domain in an auction.
6) Repeat & Profit (not).

lol @ 6 figures

My guess is 12,000,000.01

Let's make a Price Is Right out of this. Overbids = lose. Closest to win gets a high five.

 

[Businessman26]

it will go for nothing less than 10 millions, my guess is 20 millions.
