Earlier this morning, George Kirikos shared on Twitter that he “uncovered a previously unreported mid-6 figures domain name deal.” He promised to share the information about the sale once his tweet has 20 retweets, although he said it is a “non-CHIPs 4L .com.”

Many people are interested in knowing about current aftermarket and sale trends in the domain name business. This information helps me with acquisitions and sales, and it can be helpful in making planning decisions.
I operate and maintain a relatively small portfolio of around 500 domain names, so I am not really able to answer this on a macro level, aside from what I see reported publicly. I reached out to a somewhat diverse group of people who I know are active in the business to ask what they are seeing in the domain business. Their thoughts are below.

Heritage Auctions already has a fantastic domain name in HA.com. You can’t get shorter than HA.com, and it is certainly easy to remember. Heritage.com would also make a great name for Heritage Auctions, since that is a major part of their branding.

Broker.com has been sold and is now in escrow at Sedo, according to the most recent Whois registration details at DomainTools:
