[email protected] and ask him how much he paid for the domain. I'll be curious what he says.
The price does sound like bs, but I've learned over the years that a domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and there's usually at least 1 sucker out there willing to pay 10 times value, just gotta find him. I've also learned not to underestimate Rick's ability to market his portfolio and find that sucker.
