Details About BitcoinWallet.com $250,000 Reported Sale

68

According to a report on CoinDesk this morning, the BitcoinWallet.com domain name was sold for $250,000, and the buyer is reportedly an entrepreneur named Alex Charfen. CoinDesk shared more information about Charfen in its article, although the purchase doesn’t appear to have been officially confirmed by him yet.

The seller of BitcoinWallet.com is Niko Younts, who reported this sale on his Twitter account yesterday. According to Younts, the sale was transacted at Escrow.com, and Younts sent me a copy of the closing statement as confirmation.  Due to Escrow.com’s policies, the company does not release any transaction information unless approved be all parties.

The BitcoinWallet.com domain name is currently registered under privacy at GoDaddy, but for a brief period this week, the information was public, and it revealed

Broncos.com Domain Name For Sale

With the Super Bowl right around the corner, Domain Holdings just announced that it is now the domain broker of record for Broncos.com. If the Broncos.com domain name sounds familiar to you, it is probably because Broncos.com was up for auction at the TRAFFIC conference, and it did not meet the reserve price what was, “less than half of what Cowboys.com sold for a few years back.”

The email from Domain Holdings did not mention the asking price of this domain name, but I assume it’s listed in the low 6 figure range. It appears that the Broncos.com is privately registered, and it currently forwards to the Denver Broncos website via what appears to be some sort of affiliate link. At some point in time, according to Screenshots.com, the domain name was used for a horse website.

Several years ago, I did some research

Can Logo Design Contests Help Find Buyers?

I want to share an interesting anecdote that Domainsville’s Abdu Tarabichi shared with me last week, and it’s something that may be helpful to you. I omitted the domain name and keyword out of respect for his private transaction, but for the purpose of this article, I don’t think that information is necessary or beneficial.

Here’s what Abdu had to say:

On Twitter this morning, Sedo broker Dave Evanson reported that he and Negar Hajikhani co-brokered the sale of True.com, and the buyer and new registrant is TrueCar.com, a car pricing and comparison website. True.com was purchased for $350,000 in an all cash deal. I understand that  Sedo became the brokerage of record approximately one month ago, and the domain name was purchased for the asking price set by the seller.

After Sedo was able to secure this exclusive listing, Dave Evanson approached TrueCar.com about the opportunity to purchase True.com. According to Dave,

Pharmacy.com Acquired by Walgreens

Back in 2007, I wrote an article about the Pharmacy.com domain name, which had been put up for sale with a reported asking price in the 8 figure range. Unfortunately, the Red Herring article I based my report on is no longer online. I just learned that Pharmacy.com domain name was acquired by Walgreens last year, although the domain name is not being used at the moment.

To learn more information about this deal, I reached out to Josh Bourne, Managing Partner of Fairwinds Partners, the company that had been tapped to broker Pharmacy.com back in 2007. Bourne was kind enough to provide some details, although the price and other details are subject to a non-disclosure agreement and remain confidential.

Why You Might Send Inquiries Through Domain Name Sales

DomainNameSales.comDespite the fact that the landing pages on many of my domain names indicate they are for sale and give a prospect the ability to contact me, I still receive a number of inquiries for domain names via email. I sometimes like to use the DomainNameSales.com  tools to help me with my sales. Domain Name Sales (DNS) was founded by Frank Schilling a couple of years ago, and it offers quite a few domain name sales tools at no cost to users aside from commission paid on brokered deals.

In this post, I want to share three reasons why I find it effective to either send a prospective buyer to my DNS-based for sale landing page to enter an offer, or I enter the buyer’s info in my DNS dashboard on my own. You are welcome to share why you also use DNS or why you wouldn’t use the platform.
