IpAuctions, Inc. and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will jointly market the website and domain name for www.DoctorTalk.com, an E-Commerce site offering a broad range of vitamin products for sale plus “LIVE” medical consultation both on the internet.

The story goes the domain name was seized for tax issues:

they might be lucky to get $2,800 for that site, wonder how they came up with such an inflated value?

Holy hell. And this is why domains can't become property. Imagine the assessments the government will do in order to tax domains. Unreal.
