It's a tiny bit expensive... but I know they had to pay a nice lump to get the domain in the first place. The real question is, can the new buyers make their money back in a decent time period... and then make profits.

That is a big load of dough... If I spent that much money on a domain I would have had at least a million to spend on content and would be paying a few people to pump up that skimpy forum.

UPDATE: Apparently this is a rabid rumor! Mike has responded in a comment below confirming himself that this price is false. He says that no announcement has been made which includes the price of this sale. Inquiring minds want to know Mike!

A mere linkbait?

Why'd someone spend so much on just a domain is beyond my comprehension ... give me a $50 dollar domain and $1 million dollar for content and marketing and i'll outrank these $5 million dollar domains for any given keyword ...

Instant gratification. My guess is the buyer was just a middle-man, and was probably selling the "idea" to someone who had no idea...
