As we move into 2009, it appears the domain name market just continues to heat up. Toys.com was just acquired by Faculty Lounge for $1,250,000 in a February 4th private auction held at the law offices of Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP.

The internet is widely regarded as the future of commerce. This phenomenon is causing business enterprises to migrate their marketing, and even their existence, to the world of the internet. It was forecasted years ago that brick-and-mortar stores would gradually fade from view as their counterparts operated more profitably from an online location. 

Toys.com is about as pure as you can get if you want to be synonymous with “toys”. Yet again, we see the relevance & importance of a premium domain name acting as an ultimate portal and memorable online identity.

We don’t know exactly know how this domain will be utilized, or what the new owner’s plans are. Might be children’s toys. Might be cars, boats, and planes for the jet set. Or even adult toys. I will assume for now that whatever the owner’s intention, it will probably relate to “toys”, and that the owner will have gotten off to a very good start with a premium name.

Hmm? Just occurred to me. What about candy.com? Toys & candy go together! Like soda pop and crushed ice, bikinis and suntan lotion.
