Recent Big Sales

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

A few top sales recently:
Revolution.org Sells for $120,000 by Sedo in one of the top .org sales so far.
GoPlay.com - $26,300 On NameJet. Namejet is becoming the new snapnames! Generic .com names fetch top prices at NJ.
Contrary.com $10,363

MOOT.com for $45K on Sedo

SS.tv Sold for $21500

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

SS.tv appears listed in sedo recent sales for $21500.

Reminds about the story with SS.com, which was previously reported to have been sold for a hefty amount, but the sale didn’t go through.

Either way it’s a pretty decent amount for a .tv domain.

There were also some nice hyphenated sales:

sugar-bear.com $788
ice-rink.com $840
organic-spices.com $825
venetian-blinds.com $900

  2. Aftermarket.com / DomainTools
  3. Rick Latona
  4. Bido.com
  5. Sedo

Low Reserves on Sedo

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Sedo is notorious for making sellers pick low reserves to “encourage more bidders” and while it sometimes work, frequently there aren’t enough bidders in the first place, so names end up with low prices. This mostly refers to GreatDomains auctions.

Next GreatDomains event has these names in the list, among others:

Attended.com no reserve
Calcium.net $1-$499
Debbie.net no reserve
Doctor.net $5,000-$9,999
Illicit.com $1,000-$4,999
Doorway.com $1,000-$4,999

Now some of these reserves are just ridiculously low, someone will get bargains!
I think low reserves only hurt the sale, there should be either no reserve at all, like on snapnames and bido, or a fair reserve like there is usually in TRAFFIC auctions and good sedo auctions. Low reserves will just reduce the domain’s value in the eyes of the buyer. A quick example is when I recently sold my coriander.com for just $5100 on greatdomains auction with reserve $5k, after it went up to $9k on a sedo auction previously, shy of reaching its reserve. There are simply not enough bidders to create a bidding war to get the price up, especially now due to summer, recession, election, global warming..

mope.com Reached $9,000 on Sedo

Friday, May 30th, 2008

New cool high for CVCV.com domains, mope.com recently reached $9k on sedo

It’s a top cvcv with a million google results, but nowhere as good as dato.com, which we sold for $9k!

CVCV.com’s and 3 letter repeating LLLL.com’s remain the most wanted among 4L’s.  Minimum price for  quad premiums is about $325, while without  F and H they usually go up to $350-400 and more.

Katie.com - Low Reserve on GreatDomains

Monday, May 26th, 2008

I recently spotted this domain on DNF and it caught my attention. Not only because it’s a top female name and a great domain, but mostly because the high contrast in prices.

The seller claims to have paid over $50K for the name and the reserve on the greatdomains auction is only in the 1-5K euro range.  This is a high risk and from my experience GreatDomains auction is among the worst places to take that kind of risk at.

I certanly wish EarlBarrett good luck  with the sale, but  I’m afraid the auction won’t reach that high

Don’t Sell LLLL.com’s on Sedo!

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Don’t sell quad premium 4l.com’s and quad premium 4l.com’s with 3 repeating letters on Sedo! Strangely enough the prices on sedo no reserve auctions for these don’t reach near the levels that people  are ready to pay for them on domaining forums.

That said, it’s true sedo has some good deals lately, if you’re planning to grab a few good LLLL.com’s go buy some there.

A quick comparison: DDDB.com is now taking offers on DNF, as of now the highest offer is $1500, a few similar and even domains ended considerably lower on sedo:

SSSA.com $1,108.00 05/02/2008 Sedo
dddf.com $905.00 04/23/2008 Sedo

Winner.com Ended at $225K on Sedo

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

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
