I think Mugshots bought the domain cause he was planning to visit Vegas in October... He must have liked the place so he set his company there
I'm interested to see how .xxx domains end up going. I probably wouldn't invest into those domains personally.
Not even wait, I'm sure you could have unloaded a ton of them around the dot com bubble, before it burst. I remember reading a story years ago, I think it was from John Reece. He said when he first started out, which musta been mid to late 90s, he sold a domain name to someone for $1000. At the time, he was dead broke, so he was ecstatic. A week later, the guy phones him and says something like "I have to tell you, I didn't want that domain, I turned around and sold it for $1,000,000."
