We all know how pyslent got its start — a couple of guys who used their gadget obsession to fund their gadget obsession, based on deals, scams, and risky investments. Given that — what do you think is the best investment pyslent ever made?
Well, according to leapfish.com (don’t ask me), the best investment surely has to be the domain “pyslent.com.” According to their calculations, our fair domain is worth a whopping $12,696! They go on to warn, though, that Domain names are, by theory, only worth what somebody will pay for them so could possibly be worth more or less than the Estimated Actual Value.) Given the about $10 per year that we pay, along with other expenses, we’ve spent less than $100 on this domain, so that’s about a 10,000% return on our investment!
Interestingly, I found this through lifehacker. Their domain supposedly is worth $85,000, based on their 321,000 Google search results (vs our 8). So Google hits really aren’t worth much — about 22 cents each by my calculation, assuming that “pyslent” and “lifehacker” are equal in every other way. Which we know they’re not.
