Sat through the auction in Hollywood, Fl Internext. Seemed very professional, and they were selling shit for prices that got me thinking JUST LIKE YOU.

But, being the pack rat that I am, I can't give up any of mine. I keep promising I'm gonna develop them.
(And I Got some REAL good ones I've been sitting on for years....)

Yes...the lure of a nice deposit in my bank got me thinking too...in the AVN ad it had these domains listed as previous auctioned domains: shemale 520k, bdsm 295k, interracialsex 150k, latinpussy 135k and handjob 90k. I know they listed those to get the reaction like they did from me... so it worked, lol. I'm holding ddmilf com and thought it would fit nicely in that list. If they think they could get me numbers like the ones listed, I'd put it up in an instant!

Dude, I was there for a couple of those. Real people bid (and apparently paid for) those names.

LOS ANGELES & POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oversee.net, a leading technology-driven online marketing solutions company, and Moniker®, one of the fastest-growing providers of domain name registration, domain asset management, and monetization services, announced today that Oversee has acquired Moniker. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

One of the more innovative ICANN-accredited registrars, Moniker offers products and services beyond basic registration, including name creation, registration, acquisition, portfolio management, theft protection, appraisal and escrow services, traffic monetization, live and online domain auctions and aftermarket sales. The company is well regarded by registrants and domain name industry professionals as the most secure and customer-focused registrar in the industry.

Moniker operations will remain in Pompano Beach, Florida and will continue to be led by Monte Cahn, President of Moniker. Cahn has agreed to a multi-year commitment with Oversee by continuing to run Moniker, in addition to other senior executive responsibilities within Oversee.

Oversee acquired domain name auction leader SnapNames® last June, and the company believes the addition of Moniker will give Oversee a complete array of services to cement its leadership position in the domain name secondary market. Oversee will leverage the two divisions’ capabilities by adding Moniker’s live auction and back-office services to SnapNames Live™ to offer the industry’s most comprehensive live and silent auction services.

The first demonstration of the integration will be at DOMAINfest Global later this month, where SnapNames Live will lead and conduct the auction, with Moniker providing valuation and escrow services. More integrated services are planned, including:

Deepening Moniker’s continuing commitment to its auction partners through the use of the SnapNames Live technology in Moniker-managed auctions
The addition of DomainSponsor as an available option in Moniker’s TrafficClub monetization service
Availability of Moniker’s registrar services for SnapNames and DomainSponsor customers
Inclusion of traffic and monetization history as data for domain name auctions
A complete set of Domain Asset Management services that offer domain owners all the tools necessary to profitably manage their domains
Commenting on the transaction, Moniker CEO Cahn said, “Oversee’s advanced technology platform and strong financial resources give us the capability to focus on further expanding our market opportunity. This is a dynamic industry, and our collaboration with SnapNames puts Oversee well ahead of any competitor. This is a tremendous opportunity for Oversee and Moniker.”

I have a lot of the domains I own at Moniker.

A peace of advice dont hold on to a domain name you dont plan to develop in hopes of cashing out.

They get worth less and less daily as what remains the real commodity is traffic.

Cash out when you get a real offer.
I did.

Assuming you put it up for sale and got an offer?
My thoughts are, though "we that have been around since Al Gore Invented the internet" feel the web has been 'round a while, in the big scheme of things, the internet world is very young.

Like real estate, I invest for long term return.
