They missed out the big one, fund.com, $9,999,950 (all cash deal).

Fund.com Changes Hands for $9,999,950 in the Largest Cash Deal Reported to Date

When news reports started appearing today (including one at CNN.com) that Fund.com had been sold for the highest cash price ever reported ($9,999,950) there were elements to the story that had me wondering if it was legitimate. I brought those doubts up in a thread at the DomainState.com forum but a member there, investor George Kirikos, dug through the purchaser's Jan. 15 SEC filing and confirmed the transaction had been reported to the U.S. government at the stated amount. You don't make that kind of stuff up in SEC filings unless you have a fondness for jail cells.
