Default Most expensive 3 letter domain?

Honestly I don't know much three charactor domains. So my question is what's the most ewxpensive 3charactor domain that you know of or ever heard of? Wether it is three charactors or less, there must be some huge companies out there with three charactor domains and they must be expensive as well.

Do you know any?

sex.com ( Kev's fav )

First 3 are the one's which I browse every other day. Others may list more.

i believe any three character word would be highly expensive since its succinct, not much memory needed for a domain name means popularity, and exposure
some examples might be pet.com, hat.com, fly.com

Even 4 letter domains are valuable like Rent.com, find.com, kiss.com, bond.com...
