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:
Just co-brokered sale of True(.)com for $350,000 with Negar Hajikhani! Congrats to buyer and seller!

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,
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.
“The company we
Despite 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.
After selling a domain name, it’s very important for you to remove sale listings for that domain name at aftermarket venues. It is especially important to do this if you have BIN prices on some of the domain names that could potentially permit someone else to agree to buy a domain name you no longer have the right to own.
I received a message from DomainNameSales.com that was sent to clients reminding them to delete domain names they no longer own. The company raised the potential for account suspension (both parking and sales) for
In mid-December of 2013, Media Options listed Sale.com for sale in its domain name newsletter with an asking price of $1,500,000. It was described as “one of the top 10 domains in the world!” Based on the recently updated Whois records, it appears that the domain name has been acquired by RetailMeNot, Inc.
RetailMeNot is an Austin, Texas-based publicly traded company that publishes coupons, promo codes, and special offers from popular retailers and businesses. Retail Me Not trades on the NASDAQ market under the stock symbol SALE, which might be one reason the Sale.com domain name was of interest to RMN.
After noticing the Whois change this morning, I reached out to Media Options CEO Andrew Rosener for a comment.
