why sell. just sit on it and watch value go up and up

In the world of hashtags and search, are domain-name prices still increasing? Seems like they should have peaked.

Internet is only going to get more important. There’s no way domains are going to get cheaper. Any short domain will be worth millions given a long enough timeline.

why not sell the domain during your lifetime and enjoy the fortune - before dying?

You might have replied to the wrong comment, this thread is about the value of domains, not OP’s link. I agree keeping the domain is silly, but perhaps the guy is rich enough to not care.

In this case, because it was a gift from her husband.
