"The domain name tmz.com, however, was owned by a man who built robots—the site’s initials stood for “Team Minus Zero”—and he showed little interest in selling. “We had the guy’s name, and we knew that he worked at a computer-parts company,” Rowe said. One day, Levin decided to go see the man, and he asked to borrow Rowe’s modest rental car, so that he wouldn’t appear to be wealthy. (Levin drove a Mercedes.) “Harvey called him up, went over, wrote him a check for five grand, and bought the URL,” Rowe said." Great! Should teach this in MBA programs. I used to think sitting on a domain was not right. If little guys didn't sit on domains who would? As if big wallets already don't sit on domains? How many domains does Godaddy, or Google currently own? Do not care about TMZ. It's Springer. It's FB. It's pop garbage. I do care about domains. Never understood why domain registers have first right to buy expired domain? As to selling a Domain; vet your buyer. If he's a rich dude, make him pay a little? They can afford it? They have been screwing us over since forever.
