domain MegaDepot.com

I picked this up on auction last month. Any idea what it is worth?

I regged Mega.pro and Depot.pro 9 minutes apart on 1 December 2007. There are only 6,500 .pros regged. What are the odds of that?!

I was working on extravagant, superlative, and grandiose keywords that day to fit the bigger and better .pro extension theme. Mega and Depot fit together very well, they say pile it high and sell it cheap, so it's a great brand for an online discounter.

Did you know the history of MegaDepot.com? It was a business services company and changed it's name to Onvia.com in 1999.

I have to say for the sake of $30 a year for domain renewal and hosting, I'd have kept MegaDepot.com and just redirected it to Onvia.com permanently.

The agency that came up with the name Onvia also came up with Starbucks, so indirectly you have a claim to fame!

I find 2 words phrases that aren't PPC backed difficult to value. Pragmatically, what you bid in the auction might be the best proxy for current value?
