There are a lot of domains that have intrinsic value, as one can tell via the auctions that go on at Great Domains, Afternic, eBay etc. Business.com was the record at $7.5 million, although probably sex.com would go for more, if it was ever to be auctioned. I don't think the original poster mentioned the name that was involved in this matter, but I suspect it must have been a generic one-word dot-com that gets lots of natural type-in traffic. Or, perhaps a short acronym (2 or 3-letter dot-com), or a name that they invested a lot of time and money in to get high link popularity across the search engines. If UltSearch snagged it, you can be sure it was worth more than $35. :) If the party involved has a registered trademark, that might help them to get the name back, but I suspect they don't have one.
