Seeing as it has sold I thought I'd start a new thread - the guy bought it back in 1994 (presumably for reg. fee) - to ensure that it was not bought by someone else and misused - that's his story anyway andhe's sticking to it. He then sold it to mark Israel's 60th anniversary - very patriotic.
Yes I was surprised by America.com too - Israel is a very emotional subject to a lot of Israelis of course. I wonder if they had a verification system in place to ensure that it wasn't bought to be misused ? Can you ban certain people from bidding on your auctions ?
LATEST UPDATE - Apparently it has not sold after all - see http://domainnamewire.com/2008/06/0...m-has-not-sold/ - and, to answer my own question, one of the stipulations for the sale was apparently that the buyer had to be pro-Israel
In all honesty, I would of thought that this domain name would of went for a little more than it did, but its more of a decent price than America.com lol
