Sure, if you cherry pick.
What ever happened to the supposed value of "hot" domain names? Right, we got search, and got used to typing in weird strings, and stopped caring about owning car.com or whatever.

Skyrocketed in value from hundreds of dollars in the mid-late 90's to tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars today?
Not sure that's the point you were trying to make though :)

There are a lot of very generic domain names out there that were worth millions in the late 90s and never got used, and sit parked today.
Businesses are more willing to spend to have "their" domain name, perhaps, but the overall value of a "hot" domain name seems lower.

How much do you think car.com is worth?

I'm still kicking myself for getting out of the domain market in 2008. The aftermarket prices crashed following the recession.
I remember at one point, I bought out all the remaining 5 number .com names (like 78542.com). Must have been close to 400.
I let them all expire since they were worthless a year later.
Fast forward to 2015 and they're all selling for a minimum of $200+.
