Superb name there congrats on that.. Personally i have a dilema on this name what i would do if i owned it.. Sure its worth $xxx,xxx or higher but a question i keep asking myself wouldnt you make more money by leasing the name to a corporate fortune 500 company and take a seriously nice income yearly by leasing. A benefit of this would be the name would be owned by you, you would become pretty rich on a yearly return of profits from the lease and it would become a major traffic player and surely the value would increase substantially after a few years of lease to a level where the domain could be worth $xx,xxx,xxx.
I may be way off here but many people have mentioned names like youtube would be a reg free name if it did not become the player it has today.. your name is worth mega bucks as it is and the internet is pretty much covered by your domain as a social network so taking that into account this name + the power of a youtube size company behind could turn this domain into one if not the biggest valued names around.
Just my view.
I recall yearly registration fees of 1/2 Mil $ for some Premium .TV domains.
I believe Pharmacy.TV went for 1/2 Mil $ per yr.
This domain could fetch the same under a similar leasing model (with many cascading benefits and peripheral revenue streams opportunities in the meantime) and gain a much greater ROI than an auction would IMO - with the difference I guess being whether the owner wants to invest resources over time or gain a quick lump sum return now. Leasing it would obviously allow the owner to retain position for the future (where domains, especially developed and recognized, will only be even more valuable.)
Either way, absolute beauty of a name and I'm sure it will make any buyer and seller happy.
