The GulfOfMexico.com is getting a lot of attention these days and so is the body of water that the BP oil spill is in! With the massive amounts of interest with what is happening in the gulf, the worlds eyes are looking to see what is happening in the Gulf Of Mexico via under water cameras, news releases and much more! What a better way to provide information on the Gulf Of Mexico, than with the GulfOfMexico.com domain name!
Although the domain name was first registered in 1997, the domain name is currently for sale!
I always say it is "sad" to see people try to profit off of disaters like plane crashes, floods, storms etc and the gulf oil spill is really no different but this domain name will actually hold or gain value because the Gulf Of Mexico will never go away! It just so happens that the largest oil spill is currently happening in the Gulf Of Mexico!
According to a short message on the website GulfOfMexico.com:
"The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has brought alot of attention to our website www.gulfofmexico.com.
Many people have called to try and purchase our site. It is for sale but for a non negotible price of $50,000.
However, we will be glad to lease our site to you for a one year lease.
This site is a perfect place for attorneys, concerned citizen groups or anybody who wanting to get a message out or sale a product."
The domain name GulfOfMexico.com is listed with Sedo.com and really, the price isn’t as crazy as many people would ask IMO! $50,000 USD.
The Gulf Of Mexico is the eleventh largest body of water in the world.

I think that is a very fair price really.

I have to agree, $50,000 is a refreshingly reasonable price for such a great domain name in my humble opinion.
