Record $300,000 paid for recycle.co.uk
Jordan Golson · 11/09/07 02:05PMThe domain name recycle.co.uk was sold at auction for £150,000 (roughly $317,000) by British startup incubator ASAP Ventures. This is the highest price ever paid for a .co.uk domain name, the British equivalent of .com. ASAP will use the name for a new company that will provide consumers with information on recycling. $300,000 might seem like a lot for the U.K., but that's small potatoes for the U.S. of A. In the last two years we've had two big-money .com purchases — sex.com for $12 million and porn.com for $9 million. What does it all mean? Recycle your porn. (Photo by Peter Kaminski)
