Million dollar vibrators in Hazel Park

Well, it's not exactly what you think, but kinda. A Hazel Park-based adult novelty company, PriveCo Inc., purchased the telling domain name - www.vibrators.com - for $1 million from an Arkansas-based business that sold industrial vibrating machines.

Excerpt:

Hazel Park-based PriveCo Inc. has paid $1 million to purchase a popular domain name - www.vibrators.com.

PriveCo has operated the site since 2002, said Tom Nardone, who founded that company years ago with flagship domain www.shopinprivate.com.

Vibrators.com, Nardone said, took in $30,000 in sales last month. Vibrators.com and bachelorette. com, PriveCo's other adult novelty site, have grown more than 40 percent, twice the companywide growth rate of 20 percent. PriveCo, he said, should finish the year with between $3.8 million and $4 million in sales.
