Answers.travel Sold for $3.3 million

Posted in DNForum, ICANN, News, Press on March 4th, 2009 by Michael – 3 Comments

Answers.travel Sold for $3.3 million - it was first reported 2 months ago, but recently sprung a more heated discussion in sight of the depressing economy and the ridiculous amount for an unpopular extension.

Naturally this is the biggest (and possibly the only) .travel sale to date. Despite the shocker it appears to be true as was reported by credible sources: businesswire, reuters.

Different explanations were proposed, from a ‘fake sale’ to ‘money laundering’, tax evasion et. But I can add that I’ve seen enough stranger things happen in domaining over the last few years to know that anything is possible. However don’t get your hopes up, good domains are still good and bad is going to remain bad..

BankRate Throwing Cash Around

bankrate

BankRate Inc made a few surprising purchases lately, paying millions of dollars for small one man sites.

First was CreditCardGuide.com, a site that provides credit-card comparisons. According to compete.com it receives close to 200K monthly visitors from US. Still hard to imagine the site revenues being able to justify the $32 million pricetag the company paid a month ago. read more »

Today’s Sales: Printer.com - $800K, Bedandbath.com - $50k

Posted in DNForum, News on August 26th, 2008 by Michael – Be the first to comment

Two top sales reported today on Dnforum

printer.com sells for $800,000

Today the Dutch webmag webwereld.nl published the sale of printer.com for $800,000.

(in Dutch) http://webwereld.nl/ref/rss/52452

Printer.com was purchased through Sedo by a Dutch startup that spent half of its funds on it. The company is not yet reveiling its exact plans with the domain name but the site will go live on September 2.

Bedandbath.com sold @ Sedo for $50,000!

“Bed and Bath” is a pretty common term, but really not worth nearly as much

Moniker also brokered the sale of Affiliate.com for $580k

In other exciting news .org registry crossed 7 million domains!

The summer break is over and sales are hitting up again?

iSearch.com Sold at $300K

Possible First Reported $xxx,xxx idn Sale

Posted in IDNs, News on August 7th, 2008 by Michael – 4 Comments

According to this thread on dnf and this one in idnforums there might have been a $xxx,xxx sale for an idn domain.

The domain was not publicly disclosed, however it is a Russian term. Alexa is 0, so there is probably not much traffic.

Other posts indicate that  there were other previous $xxx,xxx sales and the idn  market is simply not transparent enough, however several investors are spending big bucks on names they think will be much more in the years to come.

From idnforums:

I recently bought 1 idn for xxx,xxx
Some may say it is way over priced if you are comparing it to the current ‘market’ that is practically isn’t born yet but i prefer to pay more now then getting to the point where it just wont be for sale.

The $xxx,xxx sale has been confirmed as a Russian IDN , the $x,xxx,xxx “sale” still waiting for further info.
Also confirmed a Chinese seller sold a .cn for a good $xx,xxx to a business in China.

IDN domains are a highly controversial market. Many domainers believe it’s a waste of money while others predict it to take off big time. What’s your take on that?

NY Times: How to Make $170K Flipping Sites

Posted in Articles, Development, News, Press on July 29th, 2008 by Michael – 3 Comments

NyTimes has an interesting story on a guy who flipped a site for an awesome $173K, after buying it for $1800 and doing some changes. According to compete.com traffic estimates the site bird-cage.com only has 5-6k monthly visitors from US, so it’s strange that just 200 visits per day can provide such nice income. Besides the site only has 257 links in yahoo and doesn’t seem to have any decent google rankings for the top keywords.

So it really looks strange why would someone pay a healthy amount of money for a small site, without much traffic.

On the other hand it shows that development could bring nice profits and e-commerce sites are the money makers!
