\"\"People who have sold\/bought domain names know that there is a huge market out there for premium names and it does not get more premium than Sex.com<\/strong>. Reportedly, one of the most wanted domain names is going up for sale again through an auction <\/strong>on March 10, 2010 <\/strong>at the law office of Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP<\/a>. The law firm is acting as an escrow agent for the deal and would require a certified check of $1 Million<\/strong> from anybody planning to bid for the domain.<\/p>\n

Previously, sex.com was sold for $14 Million<\/a> back in 2006 to ESCOM LLC<\/strong>. As the current notice of auction states, the domain is being sold by DOM Partners LLC<\/strong> after ESCOM LLC (the borrower) failed to repay the amount borrowed from DOM Partners. The domain name sex.com<\/strong> was the collateral that ESCOM LLC used to borrow money and the lender is now selling it to recover their money. The complete notice of sale can be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Internet companies also being affected by the recession, will Sex.com fetch at least what it cost the last buyer? According to Compete<\/strong> the site receives a total of 120,000 unique visits<\/a> each month so its easy to assume that the site is not making the kind of money that would justify a $14 Million selling price. However, it is also one of the most wanted properties on the web and there is a chance the new buyer might be able to turn it around. Previously, Toys.com was sold for $5.1 Million<\/a> and Candy.com sold for $3 Million<\/a>. What do you think, are these premium domain names really worth millions of dollars or are they seriously over valued?<\/p>\n
