Refer to the ‘
Wattha Hell Series: The introduction’
Last week has been a bit busy for me with no time to read my RSS feeds. A list of 999 feeds showed up (The maximum that my Google reader would show).
Was quickly glancing through the reader, making the max use of “Mark all as read” button on the top of the page. But
this one caught my attention. Not sure if it the “what recession?” phrase in the title or the
$1 Million - which is a lot of money (or the picture in the post
:P) that pulled my attention, but ‘wattha-hell’ was the immediate reaction after reading it.
The news is:
“
Privately-owned PriveCo, which specializes in retailing embarrassing products online, has paid $1 million for the acquisition of the domain name vibrators.com”
May be I am jealous, that some one could make a Million $s just by selling a domain name, but there are lot many reasons that makes me feel that this one deserves a ‘w-h’. A dedicated site to sell these products, ships 1500+ packages a week. And they claim that they are ahead of the competition (which means that there is competition too). And they could spare 1 million just to buy a domain name. Never thought that in this interesting world, domain name can also be an investment.
