We noted back in August 2012 that the domain name invest.com was back for sale on the market, after having sold for $1 million dollars in 2008.
Invest.com currently appears to be still in escrow and registered to Escrow.com
Worth it.
Just shows short, meaningful, easy-to-remember .com will always be in great demand.
