So, snowboard.com is up for auction, apparently.

At least the domain is, but I'll only give them $100 for it, because that's about all I think it's worth. It's been for sale for years now for '6 figure offers only'. I still have access to my @ Snowboard.com email, but I stopped actively using it years ago until I know what's happening with the domain, so I would buy it just for email as I've had that address for 20 years now, my second ever. I still actively use my first Yahoo! address, 22 years and counting.

I have to wonder, what justifies the massive prices some people charge for domains? And I mean domains, not actual websites. Whatever the current owners paid Rick for it didn't help them diddly squat as they too crashed and burned, within a year I think. A valiant effort, I even won a very nice 32 jacket from them, but I think there is just too much snowboard related competition out there now, including this site. I am very curious as to what anyone thinks they can do with snowboard.com

Btw, any ex-members of the late, great original snowboard.com still here? And to this day my ever burning question; what happened to all the content? Why didn't Rick just sell the entire site? That might have actually been worth something. He also wants $200k for the domain colonies.com....what's it been, some 15+ years? Good luck with that.

The-house made a good play buying snowboards.com

I just remember them doing dogshit 40 second reviews on YouTube… but still drives some traffic from people searching YT for board info…which can now turn into sales for the House.

But People holding onto domain names like they’re worth a lot of money are living in the 2000s.

even Basketball.com is up for sale. (Football.com non existent)
Don’t think modern internet users just types a topic +.com and hopes for the best anymore.
