You read about this stuff all the time.
I've got to think of a few names and then register them.

2.6 Million, that's all? I would have given him 7 for it. He should have called me.

This dude did nothing except register it!

Business.com sold for 7 million in 1999.

Sex.com continues to rake in the most money of any website based on expenses as all it does is sell ad space to porn sites.

The online auction was launched on 27 March. The first bid was $100, jumping to $2.6m a week later.

Ha! There's real gold in them there domain hills!

Of course, sometimes you get sued and even if you win you end up spending 4k on legal fees and stamps.

Is True. Spud read it on the intrawebs

The movie will star Matt Lanter as a computer whiz named Will Farmer who engages a government super-computer named R.I.P.L.E.Y. in an online terrorist-attack simulation game. Little does he know that the online game he plays is actually part of a sophisticated piece of government spyware designed to find potential terrorists. Homeland Security, now believing Farmer to be a terrorist, sets out to apprehend him.

Matt Lanter was a bat boy fer the Atlanta Braves.

Don't quit yer day job sed Spud.

Be Well.

Oh thats right forgot that our dear RCADE was a cyber squater.

On the plus side I see that wargames.com still sells war games. However you lied to me you said you had axis and allies but there is nothing under table top games.

I couldn't line up good wholesale deals with board game distributors. My sales volume was too small.

Too bad, I had the original version of the game and my kids trashed it one day. I was going to introduce them to the wonders of table top strategy when they were old enough but they just had way too much fun with the little boats and soldiers, lost all the money and markers and steped on about half the figurines.

Would love to get another but all they seem to sell now are the funky versions of it.

I have an idea and a domain, but damn if it isn't time consuming to put a website up!

Yeah, Uh...good luck with that!

No it isnt. It can be done in a few hours.

Ultimately, this is everything that republicans love about America. It's called Snake-oil!

Anyone have a problem with this? fine - take a hike to Russia.

A friend of mine owns www.tcf.com & Twin City Federal Bank offered him a million for it a few years ago & he just laugh them off...

With two private jets, he doesn't need the spare change yet, I guess:>)

That sucks ass.

Axis and Allies rules!

Spud occasionally would spend entire games as the Allies talking in a fake British accent and would spend other games as the Axis talking in an outraaaaageous German accent.

Spud is quite, quite mad, you know.

Bonkers, in fact.

Be Well.
