Pride and joy? Lol. Look at the websites effort, and php. YouTube videos.
I call it b.s. every post I made about this, coincidently something on the domain changed too. The latest the removed the brokers favicon after I mention that it was showing still after another server change.
Buyer? Sure. Maybe as an investor. But I say a new reseller, or still the seller, they are the co-seller or parking associate. If it was an ecommerce site selling something no question. But if you can’t sell the domain, and solicited to get publicity imo, this is the game.
Old news to me, for sake of argument prove me wrong. I posted all that Aug 21 on another thread. Looked at the placeholder, non income producing sites before you mentioned.

None of those cheapo sites look like they make money like trivia btw make any money supporting the value, they were probably the original registrant all along who allowed the broker to play around for 6 months and attempted to sell it pointed to their website. Look at nameservers history too. Prove me wrong and I will shut up. I don’t have much on the way of paid domain tools, maybe you do. Under NDA, allows such things to be hidden. Escrow didnt see the sale price to record it. I maintain, its another price discovery game by certain people in this industry.
If you bought a couple Bentley’s and a Ferrari would you keep them parked in the garage? Perhaps if you had money to simply collect cars.
There are plenty of high dollar sales reported that do in fact immediately and regularily get turned into real websites. Many do, no question.
Unless proven otherwise, I say this was Price discovery. Period. Stay tuned to see if a real well known company buys it.
