Oh yes. Folks are buying and selling at those prices. I was
quoted in an article earlier for the NY Law Journal about the
buying and selling of domain names, as we helped a couple of
clients do so. Domain names by themselves don't have as much a
value as a total business. But they are selling. I have a
client now who was offered $300k and $500k and turned down both
offers. He will take $1 million. The site generates $96k a year
in ad revenue and far more than that in new business. We have
another client who was just paid $600k for a site that has only
been up 10 weeks! Scripps Howard bought. We have another that
we are trying to sell for $300k and just started the process.
