Is having the right domain name the key to success in online tax preparation?

If you think the answer is "yes," and if you're willing to invest at least $260,000, then at this time next week you might be well on your way to cornering the market for online tax preparation services.

How?

The domain name WWW.TAXES.COM is being auctioned off this week by domain name broker GreatDomains.com.

According to the promotion:

"In the area of taxes, no other name confers the instant credibility and recognition represented by "Taxes.com". It is the premier domain concerning taxes; a subject which perpetually commands the attention of both individuals and corporations worldwide."

All bids need to be in by January 28, 2000. Good luck!
