Sedo, "Search Engine for Domain Offers", recently sold the domain name gays.com $500,000 (US). The domain was bought by Julius and David Dreyer of Germany.

“We are very proud to have invested in such a representative domain as gays.com. Building an internet portal for the gay community has always been one of our biggest goals,” said Julius Dreyer. “We are confident that we will be able to introduce an entertaining and informative website in the near future; one that will meet the needs of the gay community.”

At Sedo, high value domain sales are negotiated regularly. This year alone, bike.com and blue.com were each sold for $500,000 (US) over Sedo. The highest sales record for any domain also occurred in 2006, when sex.com sold for $14 million (US).
