I just noticed that Elliot Silver posted on his blog that there was going to be a foreclosure auction for the domain sex.com. For years I have seen the domain change formats many times but it seems that nothing they tried worked sufficiently to pay off debt.
The auction PDFis listed here.
What amounts do you think they will get for the name?
Free “tube” sites appear to have really killed the adult market, so I’d guess it would sell for less than 8-figures.
However, it would be nice to get more details….like exactly how much the owners borrowed initially, and how much was still owing on the debt (and the interest rate). Presumably if the owners are walking away from a remaining debt of $X, they feel the domain name is worth less than that amount.
George,
I agree that the sales price will be less this time around. I’m not sure if the owners will walk away negative. there might be a minimum amount that must be reached prior to a sale.

In the $5 Million neighborhood.
$3 – $4m MAX.
How much was sex.com making on a parking page?
I think porn.com was making about $2k/day from parking page.
I would like to buy sex.com for $2M..I doubt they’ll sell it for $2M… if they do, I’ll take it.
6.8 million.
