Domains were plentiful, and not worth much but still had over-inflated appraisels for their day. That was just about 10 years ago. I too will look back on today's volume and internet climate as the years go on, the pay per click - Key word volume - SEO science along with software and affordable internet speed now running streaming video like television, still a little grainy.

Really though, its more like they hit a temporary high value. Think of JoeThePlumber.com, how much will you pay for that next year, then in 5 years from now. It was worth alot a few weeks ago. If he really got those offers, and didn't sell, he may be kicking himself in the future. I can think of some domains that actually go down in value.

People knew what I paid, so I couldn't get above $16k on the forums at a time when if you posted a triple premium at $18k it would be gone within the hour. People get too emotional in this business.

More people want to go online but the supply is short so it's normal for prices to go up and not down. Good dot com domain names only go up in value as the Internet keeps on growing.

Often I'll hear from someone who got a good offer but is holding out for more, even though they need the cash and not the domain. As the saying goes - no one ever went broke taking a profit.
