    Who would be interested in buying Business.com?

    The Wall Street Journal reports that Business.com is "on the auction block." The popular business-to-business directory is expected to make between $300 to $400 million on the sale.

    Overpriced??? What do you think?

    Well if you get the site and not just the domain I would have to say it is well worth that. Although I couldn't afford it being a PR8 with design and all. Consider it sold.

    With that type of budget you can greate a site that is up to those standards and still have money to spare. Who types in business.com? Not as many people as you think

    I wouldn't say the domain is over priced, it's the perfect domain in the right hands - you cant get much better for certain genres.

    Hmmm.. Its overpriced. But, I don't think that domain is capable of Just a directory. However, how many years will it take to make the cost price? It can be bought by some good companies like Google or Yahoo(they will not buy it though).
