Domain Magnate

Webmasters.org Bidding on sitepoint auction Reaches $38K.

It gets up to 10k pageviews per month, but only $25 monthly revenue. This is definitely a nice domain, with great potential as a webmaster community portal, but even with that it’s a very high price for a .org.

What helps is that it’s a pr7 and the site has many links. read more »

SantaClara.com                         $82,500

DNForum Adds New Category for dropping soon domains, for a fixed price of $20.

I think it’s a great idea and I just listed a few of mines there to try it out.

Domainers deal with renewals on a weekly basis and it’s frequently a hard decision to either renew or let it go. It can be quite disturbing to see a domain you forgot to renew end up selling for 4 figures on an expired auction, but these things happen.

We are putting  Harlot.com on bido and the auction is in less than week July, 8

Great one word domain well fit for an adult site.

Some recent sales on bido turned out to be bargains, so don’t miss this one!

RYY.com – $7,124
domaintalk.com – $2,415
panelist.com – $1,866

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

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

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.

Israel is being sold off to the highest bidder. The Internet domain name israel.com is expected to fetch at least $5.5 million when it is sold at auction, said Monte Cahn, CEO of Moniker.com, which is running the sale.

Jean-Noel Frydman, 46, registered the domain name in 1994 and never imagined at the time it would be worth millions.

“Mainly, I didn’t want anyone to misuse it. That’s why I registered it,” he said, noting he retains final approval on the sale at the May 23 auction.

Frydman chose to part with his domain this year because of the 60th anniversary of Israeli independence, which is today.

I was just checking the recent sales of cvcv.com at tdvr.com and noticed a strange thing.

Both sold on sedo, same week, almost same letters and similar quality, yet such a big difference in price, why?

“Fehu” has 162K results in google and there is a developed site over at fehu.org, with alexa below 1 million, so it has some traffic. It also seems to have some mystical meaning, but that can hardly contribute much to a reseller price. read more »
