    I wonder if anyone has ever done a public analysis of the better domains in that portfolio. I recall seeing a site with some of their domains listed for sale, but nothing listed seemed to come close to $165 million. Then again, maybe the best domains were not made public.

    If I invested $200 million and got back an EBITDA of only $3.4 million I would shoot myself!

    They bought 200,000 domain names and thats the best they can do? Get new careers guys!

    So, they sold 1 million dollars worth of domain names last quarter. How many names was that? Maybe 20 out of the 200,000…. I’d be interested to know the estimated value of their entire domain package today!
