WhatIsMyIP.com sold for $386,100.00

I guess this news is already a month old, but I just found out about it today. :)
I just can't believe how much this domain sold for... simply incredible. It's a website that tells you your IP address, lol.

LOL - shows there are enough domain names still available if you're a bit creative...

Somebody tried to auction of TGP.COM on ebay last week - but it didn't reach its reserve with highest bid of $93,100 (if I remember correctly) - the name is only so-la-la (short, but nothing too special), and the site sucks (I used to have a partner account - or still have??)

Yeah, the type-in traffic must be eye-boggling.

Even I go there most of the time to check my IP.

On their ebay auction page, if you click the top left thumb, it gives some server stats from January '05 and says,

Quote:

For over six years WhatIsMyIP.com has been a highly useful web service. In the right hands this could be a very profitable site. Current unique monthly visitor count is 1,754,091.
...
With traffic bandwidth at close to 3GB a day this one is not for the faint-of-heart. More complete server stats are available by request.

TGP.com is back on there. Only a day left, an opening bid of 15,000, but no bids yet.

Although TGP is often associated with Thumbnail Gallery Post, I doubt someone in the adult industry would buy it.

This is just me, but even if I had a million dollars, it wouldn't be logical to spend $15,000+ on such a generic domain name-- When I could use that money to purchase golden traffic.
