I had a six letter dotcom name back in the mid-2000s I sold for $10k to an Irish company. At the time it was a lot of money and I paid off what was left of my student loans. I then dumped what was left and my savings into my car loan and was totally debt free ... then I lost my job

The website on it had a ton of content too, which I never re-hosted anywhere else. Part of me wishes I had just hung on to it. milk.com is another one of those old holdouts where they guy is unwilling to sell it for less than 7 figures.

The person sitting on milk.com should definitely hold out. That's a multi-million dollar domain for the lobby & media obsessed milk industry. I'm surprised they haven't long since acquired it.

Dan's emails and milk-related content are also pretty interesting: https://milk.com/experiments/
