Domain Magnate

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

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

Dollars.com didn’t bring the top dollar many have expected and fetched only $500K euro on the recent greatdomains.com auction run by Sedo.

Considering it was previously sold by rick lotuna for $650K 10 months ago, the current owner just flipped it for a lousy 10% profit, after the sedo fees.

For comparison another similar high value “flip” computers.com brought the owners $2.1M on a TRAFFIC auction half a year ago, making it about 80% profit in less than a year, based on the reports of the price they paid for it earlier.

The current GreatDomains auction had a large amount of very high value names.

Another interesting sale reported by sedo: c4.com for $107.5K

The Monthly GreatDomains Closed with pizza.com fetching 2.6M today - would be interesting to see who bought it once the whois changes - if it does, for all we know about sedo it could’ve been a hoax. Iinspired by this domain’s sale price Pizza.info has now been put up for sale at Sedo as well. Bidding is currently at $1,050.

Accesories.com - a typo, with high number of google results sold for $7700

Fela.com ended at $6700 - not bad premium cvcv.com prices are on the rise and they are the new LLL.com now.

VYI.com ended at $8k.

DRT.com ended at only $21K, needless to say the reserve wasn’t met.
