NameJet Reports Over $800k in Sales in January

NameJet reported its January sales numbers, and the company seems to have had a strong month. Only considering sales above $2,000, the company closed $836,000 in sales. With all of the other unreported sales, NameJet likely closed well into the 7 figures.

In January of 2012, the company reported just under $275,000 in sales above $2,000, so this is a marked improvement. It seems that most of the top sales this January were privately held domain names.

There were 5 sales last month of $50,000 or greater. LIU.com was the largest sale at $155,688. The domain name is currently parked at DomainNameSales, although I don’t know if the buyer kept the domain name parked or simply hasn’t changed the DNS yet. The Whois information remains private.

Listed below are the sales reported by the company last month above $2,000:

January Great Domains Auction Results

The Great Domains auction held on Sedo ended a few days ago, and the results are reported below. My personal favorite, BTB.com, sold for just under $40,000. I like the name because of the “business to business” connotation, even though most people refer to that as B2B or something similar.

In total, the auction netted over $100,000 USD in sales. Several 3 letter .com and .net domain names sold for decent amounts, including AFQ.com, MVL.com, and ARM.net.

Here are the results of last month’s auction:

btb.com $US 38350
terminus.com $US 10099
afq.com EUR 9999
mvl.com $US 9101
snapsale.com $US 6410

Rick Schwartz sent out a TRAFFIC conference update this morning, and one of the most interesting pieces of information he shared is that there will be a no reserve gTLD domain name auction held during the conference. The domain names that are being listed for sale will be directly from the registry. It will most likely be the first public new gTLD live auction.

Here is what Rick had to say about the auctions as well as the gTLD focus at this year’s TRAFFIC conference in Las Vegas:

ActiveDayton.comShortly after the conclusion of the inaugural Heritage Auctions live domain auction, I learned that Dayton.com was sold by the auction house. Although HA did not share the sale price, the auction reserve price had been set at $50,000 plus the 15% buyer’s premium.

Based on the live auction result and the revised sale amount reported by HA’s Aron Meystedt, it appears that the sale price was close to the reserve price, but that is an unconfirmed guess.

The new registrant for Dayton.com is

As of right now, the auction is planned for the middle of March, and the auction house will be locking up names through the month of January. Domain investors and domain brokers are invited to submit domain names to Aron for consideration. To submit a domain name for consideration, you may contact Aron via email at

Find Your Domain Auction on NameJet

NameJet and Find Your Domain distributed a press release this morning about some single word Chinese .com domain names that are coming up for auction on NameJet. Although many of the auctions have reserve prices, the auctions will likely net six figures in sales. Numeric domain names have done especially well because of the Chinese market, and it’s a market that obviously has money to spend on domain names.

In the press release, NameJet and FYD highlighted several of the Chinese domain names (like  xiao.com and liao.com), but there are several others that I think will do really well in addition to the names that were mentioned. Here are a handful of the domain names currently up for bid:
