Who bought it for $2k? Was it a public auction?

I'd like to see it if so...I still don't believe that anybody would pay $2k for this domain

I was contacted through Go Daddy Domain Buy services. They offered $250 for it. I emailed them letting them know that the site was a key component to my network of sites and that time and development was in excess of $1,000.

Went through escrow for the purchase. Not a public auction. It was on TDNAM.com for the buyer to purchase though.

So you sold the website/script in addition to the domain? If so, that makes a big difference then...The domain by itself is not worth much, but with a custom written dating script and/or traffic, it is worth much more.

I was under the assumption that we were just talking about a domain here, and nothing more.

Well the dating script was free and hasn't beel looked at in a few months. There was no deal for them to keep the current system. Just transfer of the domain.

Can you confirm that with another external source (e.g. Sedo, Afternic, etc?).

I'd have personally said, as a domain name standing alone, it's worth reg. fee. As a developed site, it's a different ball game...

But hey, one man's rubble is another man's gold!

Well done!

I'm not sure what those sources are... here's a screen shot of the transaction in the escrow account area. I edited out the buyers information for obvious reasons.

I think they had already registered the .net domain and really must have had marketing for it already done or something.
