Sex.com to be sold at foreclosure auction

50 million is my guess. As a brand it still has incredible potential and it'll never devalue. Probably not the time to be selling though, should wait until Dubai is swimming in money again and then some rich Sheikh could snap it up.

^ THIS.
youjizz.com, youporn.com pornhub.com 8tube.com are all doing GREAT and their domains only cost $9.66 a year.
If you know your shit you can register Ihazbigtits.com (4 word domain) and do 10 times better than a clueless one-word owner.
 
If it keeps hitting the news every time it goes up for sale, a few more auctions and it might have the brand recognition to be worth those ridiculous figures.
 
sex.com = 25k links, registered in '96

[sex] = 83 million searches/m on exact match. It's already #6 organic

You guys and your low-ballin' bids ... if someone gets for under 20 million it's a steal.
 
I believe the story behind the domain was that it was stolen many years ago. After all the legal battles chilled out the original owner sold the domain to the thief for 14mil.

What kills me is if you can drop that kind of dough on a domain why can't you put another mil into development. There is really no reason why that domain name could not own the adult market making the overall value well into the billions.

Dumb fuck if you ask me.
 
The domain will probably not sell. Check out the auction notice and you'll see that the secured party (Domain Capital) has the right to place a bid equal to the amount they are owed (principal + interest + attorney fees). Domain Capital will probably keep the domain, this auction is basically just a formality IMO.

Visit TheDomains.com for more info (not mine/not a dickroll). FYI, Jon and Shoemoney own 15% of the domain, they started a thread on WF last month in order to explain why monetizing it is extremely complicated.

thx.. my wife knows what a dickroll is now. :1orglaugh:
 
No wonder it's in foreclosure, the current site blows. Can you imagine a social networking sex site that's ad supported? Goodbye adult friend finder, their business would be ruined.
 
Hypothetically speaking, if you had access to portfolios of very premium domains with carte blanche to sell them (if you could find a buyer to meet the owners price point) for a very nice commission, where would you start? Auctions?
