I have lots of poker domains and lots of .org names but not that magic combination, darn! It's funny though - people were confuzzled when I had Poker.in listed here for $30k eons ago, thinking it was on the high side. I sold it for $60k months later, and it was my 5th Poker.ext sale. Poker.ext sales probably account for 4 or 5 records in various extensions. Poker.de was a record .de sale til Credit.de recently. So no surprise to be that Poker.org beats out the next highest public .org sale by a mere $801,000.

Congrats to National A-1 Advertising and hope this helps people understand what they could be missing in .org. If not, then good cuz I'll continue to scoop up the good .org domains that people are leaving behind.

I saw that Penis.org sold recently for really cheap. I think under $10k at the domainfest auction a few weeks ago.

It's mainstream... and besides, whoever own the trademark for "Poker" will end up grabbing it from under them soon anyways.

LOL god, IF that could be done on a generic name like that, that'd be awful. Pay a mil for a name only to have it snapped up via UDRP that costs a few thou to the complainant.
