Domain Magnate

Here is a little glimpse of domaining history with help of dnjournal.com: 2004 top sales

It’s always interesting to see the old sales to find what was a good buy and what wasn’t and try to predict the future prices by that:

CreditCards.com $2,750,000 Pvt Sale
Mercury.com $700,000 Pvt Sale
ME.com $460,000 Moniker / Domain Systems
Rugby.com $350,000 Pvt Sale
Smoking.com $325,000 GreatDomains
Viajes.com $300,000 Sedo
Arab.com $225,000 Pvt Sale
TourismAustralia.com $201,000 Pvt Sale
VisitFlorida.com $186,000 Pvt Sale
Commerce.com $180,000 Sedo
Beef.com $150,000 GreatDomains
Animation.com $150,000 Pvt Sale read more »

Winner.com Ended at $225K on Sedo

Decent sale for a great domain. I think both the buyer and seller got a good deal here.

This could be the best domain for a Gambling portal, or casino and that is the most lucrative business online.

There is an ongoing discussion about the sale on DNF

DATO.com

- 70 Million google results
- Means “Data” in Spanish – one of the most valuable keywords
- DataRecovery.com recently sold for $1.7 MILLION!
- VINO.com was on GreatDomains auction last month and bidding went up to $66K

Bid here

Perfect domain for any IT related company in a Spanish speaking country and one of the best CVCV.com’s around!

DATO means Data in Spanish, but to the hundreds of possible endusers around the world, DATO is so much more than a Spanish dictionary word. Can you say 80 million + Google results? How about literally hundreds of daily Wordtracker results which include the word “dato” in them?

DataRecovery.com recently sold for $1.7 MILLION dollars! Spanish is the MOST POPULAR foreign language in the United States and ranks THIRD Worldwide in Internet users.

We ask you this… What would Data.com go for? Pause. Think about that for a sec…
Then tell me how Dato.com isn’t one of not only the greatest spanish generics auctioned this year, but one of the greatest generics period. Worldwide Internet penetration continues to increase… This is a domain which will forever have value, forever be recognize as a Tier 1 Spanish domain, and continue to increase in value for many, many years to come.

Need I really say more? If I haven’t sold you on DATO yet, I don’t think you’ve been listening — or you clearly don’t understand THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY IN THIS CENTURY, which is premium foreign language domain names.

DATO is an incredibly strong CVCV that flows off the tongue like any True CVCV should. DATO is being offered to you with NO RESERVE. In short, this domain WILL SELL, regardless of what’s offered. Arguably The Strongest CVCV offered on Sedo EVER.

Compare this to VINO (wine in Italian) which received offers of $60,000 and DID NOT MEET THE RESERVE. We’re giving you a once in a lifetime chance to pick up a Tier 1 premium for pennies on the dollar… There might never be an opportunity like this again!

Compare to domains like:

POPA.com sold on Sedo $15000+
ZOYO.om sold on Sedo 6000EUR ($9000+)

… and I think you’ll feel as confident as me in saying that this is a 6 figure domain any day of the week to a Spanish enduser.

BQB.com has recently started operating as a new auction site for short domains:

BQB.com is a no commission, next generation domain name auction platform dedicated to short domains. Founded in March 2008, BQB.com Inc seeks to reduce the pain sellers of domain names currently endure, paying exhorbitant commissions which are in our opinion often unjustified. BQB.com also seeks to create a marketplace for short domain names, which we believe will continue to be one of the strongest appreciating internet investments for many years to come. BQB is founded on Professionalism – each member is individually screened, successful applications are manually approved. Better Quality Business really is just a few keystrokes away! read more »
