It’s happening. Democracy is officially up for sale.

The domain name Democracy.com is being auctioned off this month, and it can be yours for a hefty price. The bidding, hosted by Heritage Auctions, which specializes in the sale of collectibles, begins at $300,000 and closes at 5 p.m. on Oct. 25.

The link to the auction isn't available at the time of writing (the site says it's been the victim of malware), so not sure where it's currently at.

Expect an update here at Heritage Auctions:

I would be surprised if it got a bid. Going to be hard to sell given the term that isn't commercial or an obvious brand name. Suspect its value is in mid-high 5 figures.
