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.”

when sex.com sold for $14 million (US).
