$75,000 isn't the half of it, or the tenth of it for that matter. Nothing is crazy about it. Online business is big business and the best domains are like prime real estate for both companies and individuals and can truly be a huge asset.

So how much do you think the domain www.microsoft.com or www.msn.com will be sold for?

Do they really get traffic when they buy a used domain name?
