US News Teaparty.com goes up for sale.

[Wargasm]

Ever heard of the Canadian rockband The Teaparty ?
Me neither.
The band hasn't produced anything in years but lately the band is getting alot of attention due to the fact the band owns the domain name TeaParty.com

With the 2012 election season approaching, the band (which actually broke up years ago) probably figured selling the domain name just might be very lucrative.

Stuart Chatwood, bass player of The Tea Party, with dollar bills in his eyes:

We were floored by the worldwide press and interest in our domain name teaparty.com that soon followed the initial story in Businessweek.

After being overwhelmed by the multiple offers that were arriving daily, we thought it was prudent to seek out the best brokerage to help represent the band, and Sedo was the clear choice.

The domain name estimated worth is over 1 million US dollar.
Now who is going to get the domain name ? The Teaparty or someone else ?
And if it is going to be someone else what is he/she going to use it for


The domain name is on sale at Sedo.
The press release can be located here.

Doesn't it sounds more like a "Grumpy Old Men's Club"?

From the people who brought you lemonparty.org: teaparty.com

Edit: I guess I should warn the less Internet savvy members that there is a reason why I didn't link lemonparty. Don't go there.

You got a few types of internet traffic.
search and typein traffic (mostly used)
Typein traffic is under estimated by alot of people but the numbers show that people just type in teaparty.com if they wanna visit the teaparty movement.
Now if the teaparty movement doesn't get this domain name someone else will and they will lose all the typein traffic.
Here in Holland we see political parties register domain names on topics from other political parties and usually spread their message or totally ridicule the other political party.

As we all know elections in the USA are tied with TONS of cash. I am not sure but i heard that Obama is raising 1 billion dollars for the next campaign to get him re elected. That is just unreal how much money that is imo.
So 1 million for teaparty.com is just a drop in the bucket for those peeps.
I am not sure if any in the Obama camp is consdering this but let's say they secure this domain name the PR alone wouldbe worth over 1 million easilly.
And those old rockers who registered the domain name back in 1996 are laughing all the way to the bank

Funny thing domain names

I'm going to buy it and subsequently use it to blog about my tea parties.
