Was out grabbing a drink in hollywood last night with a friend at a local dive bar. My friend was feeling adventurous and asked what other good vodkas would you recommend besides grey goose. The bartender says.."Try this one it's great..standard..this is the company that bought the domain vodka.com for $3 million!" Ok..this guy was in his early 20s..not a domainer as I told him that's what I do and that sale happened a couple years ago... As far as I am concerned, this is a bonafide sign of how valuable domains are and still have to appreciate from here..especially from the aspect of an ever younger internet population who has grown up with it as part of their lives Completely not related to this particular post but I had to share this quick story for all domainers..

Wish you the best with this game plan. Have thought about this for awhile now after reading about the Castello's initial door-to-door crusade that launched PalmSprings.com. Curious if you put him on a pure commission basis? I understand that information may be private though. Having someone from Lowell seems like the best approach. Good luck!
