Kudos on the blog post. Hard to imagine that a domain could go for such a high price but glad to see that it was first available for sale and that it did indeed sell for such a large amount.

I wonder if the domain was given a chance to be sold to someone else who had the money to throw away (we know a bunch of them exist) and would probably offer a bit more... With recent reports I've been reading, this sale might be a fluke. Just a publicity stunt for the seller and his domains. Hopefully this is the case. I'm watching things closely and waiting to see what goes on for an update on the situation. I can say from what I've been seeing I think this is a BS sale also... Will keep you guys upated if anything comes up! Germ, I absolutely also agree…

Since I don't know the financial situation of the seller, I'm not going to pass judgment on him. I know $1.25m would really help me & my family. I also believe in freedom of speech but this is just not how I would have hoped this would go. I'm starting to see a real future in preemptive domain registration. I myself recently picked up a .com domain off a drop after I saw a political party register the .org for use in partisan attacks. I can't help thinking that if the seller knew what ss.com would be used for he could have contacted a well funded tolerance organization or wealthy philanthropist to ensure this kind of thing didn't happen. Regardless of your political views, I think this illustrates an obligation we as domainers have to double check what purposes our domains could possibly be used for. My heart is heavy today. This is just too sad.
