Cars are a terrible investment...terrible. Only the most rare of the rare command an ever increasing amount.

Contrast that with a steady 5-10% increase year after year even after this most recent real estate correction. Cars depreciate the instant they pull off of the lot.

Also, I don't know any car that the contemporary average Joe can sell for more profit than the previous generations average Joe made in a lifetime .

It's real estate, be it real or virtual property...

I actually value cars over homes. I just don't really see anything special about a home. Except the garage.

I recently sold Gary.com for 35k..I wonder how much it would have gone for on eBay.

Nobody mentioned cars as an investment. They're just fun. Can't take $$ with you and life is short, might as well enjoy it.

I feel sorry foranyone who wants to set up the email account '[email protected]'... i dont know HOW MANY TIMES myself, my friends and other people that I know have used that email in forms because they don;t want to use their own!

Wow, Ebay might not really be the right stage for this kind of sale, but with all of the names that he is selling he could hit the $1,000,000?

I find it interesting that he traded Windows2000.com for Bob.com, I bet that Microsoft wouldn't be so kind nowadays!

Makes me wunder if the orignal owner of Firefox.com traded that for another sweet domain

Looks like he "donated" Firefox.com ! :o

"If Mozilla's devotees are anything like Kevin Karpenske, they might be a force to be reckoned with. Karpenske was the owner of the Firefox.com domain, where he maintained his personal Web blog, until he donated it to the Mozilla Foundation. As the owner he could have easily made some money selling the name of a popular brand, though he said making money on the domain wasn't a motivation."

"I did get a few offers about the domain, but I never replied to them; I couldn't stand the idea of my 'home' of six years being replaced by a traffic-leeching Web portal or something of the sort," Karpenske's stated in an e-mail interview. "It came down to two things: I wanted the domain to go to Mozilla, and I didn't expect them to pay for it."

I believe that the owner of bob.com is a real estate investor who also owns the Monte Cristo Gold Mine in Angeles National Forest in L.A. That's what I heard.
