Selling the .com domain of one of your main products, 'movies', doesn't make sense. I think they'll regret it one day - it's a short sighted move. I think it was a stupid sale by Disney.

Maybe we should never assume that we'd have to buy Bank of America to get the domain LOANS.COM Why not ask them? Fandango pulled off a quick one under our noses. Nice...

Just a rough figure ? **Jamie Says** I would think in the 15-25 Million range. That would be my guess. How much do you think that site would have sold for considering 1.9 MILLION UNIQUES per month ?

I would expect this to be a $20 million + sale. I know - sounds crazy. But the domain alone + traffic, and buying it from a large company. What does Disney care about say $3 million? near top of all time? I would expect this to be a $20 million + sale. I know – sounds crazy.

I mean the highest recorded domain sales are between 10 and 12 million depending on who you talk to that is a drop in the bucket for billion dollar corporations.

If the price won't impact their financials, it could be considered "minimal" allowing them to keep the price private. **Jamie Says** Good point Elliot! I'm sure their goal is to keep the sale price private.
