No right answer to this question. I can definitely see some circumstances where it would be worth it. Owning the category killer domain can be incredibly valuable. The brand recognition and instant credibility of a good domain is also undeniable. Many have type in traffic which means potential customers looking for that service show up every single day without any effort. Some search engines also give you an SEO boost for exact match domains.

Worth 100k? Depends on the name. But I thought after reading all these negatives, I feel like many of these people haven't actually owned any good domain names and seen the value that can generated from them.
