Just wondering what the general thoughts are about whether the recent trend to legalize marijuana will boost the prices of pot-related domains?

The domain for their business is 420magazine.com. 420times.com forwards there and I’ll assume the420times also forwarded there...It was the domain name for their business - advertisers, forum etc oh + email contact!
lots of time & energy to replace a domain name throughout the industry

420times redirects to their main site. They dropped another, longer domain that was a redirect. Not much news there. The big news is that someone flushed $10,500 down the drain!atm nothing forwards anywhere! they no longer own or control the domain
9 years of publishing a domain name that is now parked!

You kidding??I’m sure they’ll be fine. They dropped the “the” which isn’t a bad thing. Was it worth them renewing for $8? Of course. But it’s not their main web address so they’ll move on.
How many domains does it take to run a single business, when they all point to the same place?You kidding??
Whoever let this domain drop should be fired right away. And if that was the owner, he is the most SEO ignorant businessman of the century...
And more:
I would easily sell this domain for a couple grands to any of my SEO clients. Well not for 10K, that should be some serious niche end user, probably a competitor. It's a steal for them.
What a shame...
Ever heard about backlinks? Backlink laundering? Have an idea how such backlink profile could cost, should one try acquiring them from scratch? Certainly not.How many domains does it take to run a single business, when they all point to the same place?
Again, someone just spent $10k on a domain that starts with “the” and they have no chance of getting the better, shorter version. What a waste!
You’re selling humanity short, as if we somehow won’t be able to find 420magazine.com now. People are much smarter and aren’t going to rely on a backlink to find what they want.Ever heard about backlinks? Backlink laundering? Have an idea how such backlink profile could cost, should one try acquiring them from scratch? Certainly not.
I admire your success and experience of domainer, but SEO lives by different rules and values.

Okay, how can anyone explain to you how they get their money back when you automatically dismiss back links...developed site, parked page, affiliate offers etcCan anyone tell me how the buyer who just spent $10,500 will get their money back? That’s the story here...
The buyer of The 420 Times dot com needs content which they don’t have. I’m shocked that you folks think links are required for someone to reach the destination they desire.Okay, how can anyone explain to you how they get their money back when you automatically dismiss back links...developed site, parked page, affiliate offers etc
Update..even PotDomains need back links to appear in searchs

Now there two more backlinks...lol
No...maybe your misunderstanding the value a back links..I’m shocked that you folks think links are required for someone to reach the destination they desire.
The value is people finding your website..the end.No...maybe your misunderstanding the value a back links..
"
Backlinks are especially valuable for SEO because they represent a "vote of confidence" from one site to another.
In essence, backlinks to your website are a signal to search engines that others vouch for your content. If many sites link to the same webpage or website, search engines can infer that content is worth linking to, and therefore also worth surfacing on a SERP. So, earning these backlinks can have a positive effect on a site's ranking position or search visibility."

If Moz didn't have a high account of "google trust" (back links and other factors) I would have never found that link on page one for "what are Backlinks"
How do they find your site then....?The value is people finding your website..the end.
If people find your website via search that is because Google thinks it is worth finding and they decide that on the basis of backlinks. A lot of high quality backlinks has a lot of value.The value is people finding your website..the end.
420magazine.com is the 5th link on the first page of google when searching 420times. They’ll be fine. They have thousands of social media followers and can change their domain contact at the flip of a hat.How do they find your site then....?
Social media is a possible answer but page one for a keyword(s) in Google is where the real long term traffic is..
I believe original owners can still renew during the auction process.That was a Godaddy auction. How many bidders?
To get to 10k took at least two people willing to pay 10k, not just one person. Was one the original owner perhaps?
Bingo!Obvious mistake for letting it drop.
The much bigger mistake is by the buyer for wasting $10,000.
End of story.
Yes... they have do great S.E.R.P. today!420magazine.com is the 5th link on the first page of google when searching 420times. They’ll be fine. They have thousands of social media followers and can change their domain contact at the flip of a hat.
Maybe a billionaire bought it but wasted money is wasted money.Maybe I am trying to understand why someone would buy a "XX,XXX" domain (any niche) without researching it!
Maybe that $10,000 was chump change to them...who knows, I sure dont!
No arguments here...wasted money is wasted money.
Thinking with all this publicity that this auction got, (if possible to renew) , would do that!I believe original owners can still renew during the auction process.
