I think it was a good price for both the seller and the buyer. The buyer can monetize that domain and make his money back within 5 years easily.

They always said that sex sells. This kind of goes along with it.

how much would porn.com go for?

[MRGTB]

well can you imagine just how many internet users type the word "sex" in search engines and how many hits that will get a person a site called sex.com. Here is a quote from there site: "With millions of new visitors every month".

LOL, quite a lot is my guess.

Wonder how much "tits.com" would sell for

[KingSpade]

Any slang term or actual type-in term would generate quite a bit as well, so I would imagine quite a bit in general.
