The value of answers.travel should be about $3300, not $3,300,000, in my opinion, and I've valuated .travel before. Better to spend your $3300 on travelanswers.com in my opinion.

We have now more than 70.000 suppliers registered in our site. 3.3 billions for a domain .travel?? Even if www.InTheWorld.travel now has 25.000 indexed pages in google it is not easy to promote a .travel domain. For sure the domains answers.travel can't worth 3.3 billions!

Lots of rookie mistakes: "They seriously get all of your travel questions answered and point you in the right direction," doesn't meet basic objectivity, especially after trying to establish objectivity with prior verb "claims." Also, the use of "they" is a bit awkward here and later as a singular entity should be referred to us "it" or "the company" -- or even Travel411: The .travel registry started in 2004 and has been growing rapidly ever since. They claim ... It is proper to address the company by name in opening paragraph even if you've referenced it in headline / subhead. The last line is pure opinion and should be attributed through use of quotes: The .travel domain name may become very popular in a short period of time, however it is obvious by this acquisition that single worded concise domain names will always command top tier valuations even if it’s not .com. Also, the source here is the giveaway. It doesn't establish what its relationship to the story is. If they are a news source breaking a story on a paid newswire, that's just not something I've ever seen. If they are a paid consultant representing buyer or seller, that should be established. Basic PR 101. Not to mention the press release is very amateurish, definitely not written by a PR pro or novice.

I got an answer back within like 4-5 hours. If this was a BS sale or not, I like the service. Has anyone contacted the company to see what they paid for it??
