What happens to the domain names of former startups that went down? are there any buyers for them? any cases of startups out there that got their domains from a former startup? or the owners of the domain of the dead startup just let it expire?
I guess the "taint" of a failed startup would make domain names unappealing.<p>However if it is a name that the general public might try, e.g. pets.com, then it could be valuable, in this case pets.com now redirects to petsmart.com.
