My question is what is the rate of return on investment for these type of domain names? Does anyone know the original sale price for these domains? Does anyone know of a source besides dnjournal for domain sale prices?

If you buy an apartment complex for $500,000 you might expect an ___% return on your investment. If you buy GetMovies.com $75,000 what sort of ROI can you expect?


Follow up question: Boats.org sells last week for $50,000. Why are these generic domain names selling for such significant sums of money?

Why are these generic domain names selling for such
significant sums of money

Because getting a good .com is like hitting the Lottery and every
Biz is getting a website so either the Bizzz is reging them or a domain trader is stashing them.

A major Media group is filling the air on TV with Zap2it.com and it's
picked up close to 3,000,000 listings in Google in a few months..
Watch any domain with Zap2 in it go up in price, Like
Zap2hotels.com, zap2travel.com, zap2autos.com or zap2vegas.com
for instance..
