Price – $4.9 million

Clothes.com was bought in 2008 by Zappos for $4.9 million, a company that was purchased by Amazon in the same year in a deal that was worth some $1.2 billion, which, considering how deep Amazon’s pockets go, is quite a price, but not a bank breaker. The original owner, IdeaLab, sold the domain name which is recognized as an intangible asset with a “useful life of 20 years” as the SEC records at the time reveal. Nowadays, typing in clothes.com will take you to Zappos.com where you can shop for shoes, clothes, bags, accessories and so on.
