This article says Yahoo "devised a new plan to bring in some income by clearing out it closet of premium domain names on the open market"  but offers no evidence of that. What is known is they put ONE domain name into auction. <div></div><div>Is the rest of this article all speculation? Did anyone bother to call yahoo and ask for a comment? <div></div><div></div></div>

The value of the domain is only based on what someone will pay for it.  If if went for $380k then that’s its value at that time.
