Yahoo sold the domain name Contests.com via DomainTools live auction for a $380,000. In comparison to the recently multi-million dollar sales of Candy.com and Toys.com, $380K seems cheap! But thinking about it, contests.com has limited commercial appeal. How will the new owners develop and make money? It will also send a good deal of traffic to contest.com.
Overall, taking things at face value, without knowledge of development plans, this looks like Yahoo got the best of this deal. That’s a first in a few years!
