A US company has paid $2.75 million for CreditCards.com - apparently a fair price! Are they mad?! :shock:

Yes, I think they are mad. Some domain names are likely to be popular and do well often from people just typing it in on the off chance (we built the B&Q online offering around diy.com for example) but it is not obvious to me that this one would prove to be so.
