Sitting on gold with that domain name.

https://www.metricsbot.com/www/bar.com



I can't help but think the pricing methodology on this site might be a bit off. I put uw.com in to check it because I know some of the history of that site. It said the site is worth less than $9.00!?

uw.com was originally owned by a company called Underware. Their biggest product was a defect tracking tool called TrackRecord. They were bought by Compuware in the 90s, and in early 2000 or 2001, Compuware forgot to renew the domain and it was bought out from under them. Last I checked, two letter .com domains were pretty rare and valuable.

That was last time you checked. Now they're extremely rare and astoundingly valuable.


Last time I checked, you were no longer allowed to register 2-letter domains at .com, .org, or .net.
