Just sold one registered in 1996. Back then it was $150 to register names. Several years before that they were free, but had a limit to how many you could have.

Damn, I was too young to even think to buy them back then, wish I would have though, could be retired now with the right purchases! But hindsight...

 

So 1996 was it developed, bet that brought x,xxx - xx,xxx?

What reasons?

Hmm, looks like the oldest one currently is from November 2007. I thought I bought it before then. Actually, I thought it was at least a year older than that, but I guess not!

I have one regged in 2001. Having trouble selling it for even a $100!

 

Well does it have content on it? Does it have backlinks? Even an old domain doesn't mean much of anything if it doesn't actually have something that makes it valuable, you know?

That's crazy, Facebook in 97? I think that may be a typo. I don't remember seeing Facebook until 2005 or so?

My main domain is coming into its third renewal. So it's almost three years old now. I haven't really done as much with it as I should have. Still I shouldn't be too unhappy with the results. So far, it has got only PR3 and between 3-4K pageviews per day.

It was registered in 1997, doesn't mean it was used in 1997 ;)

Yeah but originally it was called thefacebook, then later changed so would have figured it wouldn't have been bought until years after the original.
