Over the weekend, I noticed a Whois change on the valuable Skincare.com domain name. Current Whois records show that Skincare.com is now owned by L’Oreal USA Inc. L’Oreal is one of the leading cosmetics and skincare  companies in the world.  As of the time of publication, Skincare.com resolves to a parked page, but I presume L’Oreal has plans to use the domain name.

According to historical Whois records from as recently as this past Thursday, Skincare.com had previously been owned by Anything.com, a domain investment company that has a large portfolio of valuable domain names, including Home.com, Marketing.com, Quebec.com, and many others.

I reached out to representatives from Anything.com, and I learned that

Domains Should Be Removed From Marketplaces Pending UDRP

Yesterday, I wrote about the PHHH.com UDRP that is currently being mediated at the World Intellectual Property Organization. One of the interesting aspects of the case is that PHHH.com is listed for sale at Afternic with a $7k BIN price. I think domain names should temporarily be removed from domain marketplaces pending the outcome of the UDRP.

From my perspective, it does not make sense that a domain name in an active UDRP proceeding is listed for sale. Should the domain registrant lose the UDRP, the domain name would be transferred to the complainant unless a lawsuit was subsequently filed. With the outcome unknown, it doesn’t seem to make sense that the owner could sell the domain name in the meantime.

When two parties come to an

On Monday morning, Media Options sent out a newsletter to announce that EO.com was for sale at a reduced price of $599,000. According to a tweet from the company’s Twitter account this morning, EO.com is now pending  sale. As you can see in the tweet below, the company is very active in the two letter .com space, with “almost 30” LL.com domain names having been sold (or traded).

Media Options CEO Andrew Rosener would not say who has agreed to acquire the domain name, but he was willing to share some comments about the sale and the two letter.com market:

Media Options: EO.com for Sale

I received a newsletter from Media Options this morning with an interesting domain name for sale. Media Options listed EO.com for sale, and the domain name has a price tag of $599,000. The domain name was previously offered in the Media Options newsletter this past April for $750,000.

When I saw EO.com marketed for sale before, my initial thoughts went to errors and omission insurance, commonly referred to as E&O insurance. I don’t know how competitive that particular insurance market is, but I thought there would be an E&O insurance company interested in buying EO.com. There have been quite a few insurance domain names that have sold for large sums of money.

According to an article in

Ask for a Right of First Refusal

Seller’s remorse is fairly common in the domain industry. As an active seller, there have been plenty of times I regretted selling a domain name I would like to have kept for various reasons. I have an idea on how to combat seller’s remorse just a bit.

When you are in the process of selling a domain name, ask for a right of first refusal if the buyer ever decides to sell the domain name in the future. Most buyers will say no because this could hinder a future deal, but there may be a chance that you could negotiate this into a deal.

I’ll explain how this would work. Let’s say you sell
