That's a lot of money. Fund is a once-in-a-lifetime name to be sure, but do you think the buyer overpaid?

No! You said it right...once in a lifetime. You'll never

Cheap buggers, they could have at least paid another 50 bucks so the guy could get a $10 million note to go home with !

I'm not sure why they didn't pay extra $50

Is it escrow fees?

Cool

Last month there was a sale of iPhone.com.
The buyer: Apple Computer

The Seller registered it in 1995 and used it for the cellphone sales.
His biz was netting less than $100 a month.

Negotiations took more than 2 years.
The final price was $37.5 mil

Compare with $12 mil for sex.com
------------
The Seller was represented by a very young but able lawyer.
They threw a curveball at Jobs: $100 mil take it or leave it.

Meanwhile, they also took several TM's for their domain in US & EU

SJ is still recovering from the deal
