As for small town geos selling for high prices, my guess is that there could be very high incomes and/or property values there. A domain savvy, local high-end retailer of certain kinds might be interested.

When i wiki'd that town the result was 'As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 2,116 people, 1,060 households, and 489 families residing in the city.' That's an awful lot of money for such a small population. Now consider EdistoBeach.com it has an even lower population and sold for $115,000.00. As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 641 people, 329 households, and 221 families residing in Edisto Beach. Unless the name was purchased by Wyndham Resorts, which i don't believe it has, I cant understand the sale price. In saying that, Im happy to see those high prices being paid for these geos, I would hope the prices are maintained. Considering this it looks like I'm a millionaire again today. :) Just looking a little harder, FollyBeach.com sold for $98,000.00.

Hyphenations are '2nd best' but as with New-York.com still a valuable domain name. Im still trying to work out what to do with West-Germany.com. Any ideas? New-york.com, brandable.

I don't think I would have a problem defining those as pure geo domains but they might be defined as secondary geo domains by some. I'm interested to read other people's comments. I will say that something like SeattleWA.com or SeattleWash.com is not secondary but brandable. Even Seattle-Washington.com would be "brandable" to me. What do people think about new-york.com, pure, secondary or brandable? Very good question.
