Nice sale. I like the comparison of the past sale of the verb ("fly") with the recent sale using the -ing suffix, it looks promising for other dictionary verbs + ing that are in good niches as this one clearly is.

...I wonder if they followed suit with Jets.com seeing the obvious potential a domain has.

$1.1 million

It's worth more, IMO.

Flying is a great keyword, particularly for the online travel niche. I think they could have landed at least $1.5 million, if not over 2.

Not in today's economic market, but perhaps if they pushed the sale back for another 6 months.

Precisely why it was a great price for the buyer.

...Come to think of it, isn't UsedAirplanes the best generic they could have? Flying is a top generic, but more for consumers to find flights, not planes...

Absolutely agree with this statement!
