    FG.com got to $175K yesterday at NJ and did not clear the reserve so $200K would need to be a destination buyer vs. a speculator – yes ?

    So, let me get this straight:

    1. Ron paid $137,500 for the domain as an END USER to capitalize on Google’s “Reader”
    2. Google shuts-down “Reader”
    3. Ron expects to make a 45% PROFIT for a domain that has just experienced a sudden and severe drop in utilization value

    4. Dream on, Ron…this is yet another example of why most folks have little respect for domainers.

    Google shutting down their reader may actually make this domain more valuable, not less. Read what the inventor of RSS has to say, make a lot of sense….
