Stephane mentioned the sales of auto.fr and voitures.fr, which are two premium names, being dictionary terms.

What’s interesting about these sales is that both names were supposedly bought by the same buyer and that they have set a new record for .fr sales.

While porn.fr may have sold for €30k, auto.fr went for €100k via Sedo and voitures.fr fetched a very respectable €50k.

So cars are worth more in France than sex?

Possibly. Who knows?
