That's a nice ROI.

Anybody interested in a nice two letter domain for a fraction of that ;) ?

what do you have?

edit: oh, ya ww.com! How on earth did you pick that up? I thought two letter .coms were reserved.

> How on earth did you pick that up?

I paid a boatload of money for it. It's actually a funny story because 'weight watchers' wanted it too and I was just a bit quicker. They had to have a few meetings to get the deal done and the seller was under quite a bit of pressure, I was ready cash in hand so I got it.

One letter domains are, two letter domains are just like any other.

you should go through a list of companies with WW in them and start pitching them to buy your company + domain. Get them to do an auction to drive up the price

   Weight Watchers
   WW Grainger, Inc
   William Wrigley Jr. Company
   Watson Wyatt Worldwide

This first part is pretty obvious, I have a long list of such names, but I'm not sure how to go about an actual sale, the auction sounds like a good idea, thank you!
