Afternic sold a total of $1,014,645 worth of domain names last week, including confidential sales. The company also announced three new exclusive listings: Possible.com, HouseFinancing.com, and SecondMortgage.com.

For those who question the merits of the domain sales listed below, the one piece of advice I can give is to list your domain names for sale. People do shop at Afternic and its partners, and if they happen to like your domain name, it could be sold and listed on a future sales report.

Public sales from the past week above $1,000:

calculatrice.com $30,200.00
ibud.com $25,000.00
asz.net $12,888.00
shopfittings.com $11,000.00
wjm.com $10,000.00

Sedo’s Weekly Sales – $1.53 Million

Elliot Silver

SedoThis past week at Sedo, there were a total of 899 sales, totaling $1.53 million. Most interesting to me was the fact that 35% of the total sales were the result of Buy Now listings, meaning the domain owner had priced the domain name upon listing it for sale. It’s especially interesting in light of my post earlier today about replying to inquiries.

The leading sale of the week was the $40,000 sale of makassar.com, and heartoflove.com followed at 30,000 EUR. There were several two letter .DE sales last week, and the prices seem to be relatively low for the .DE extension (my opinion).

The entire list of Sedo’s public sales over $1,000 from last week are listed below.

How Do You Respond to Inquiries?

Elliot Silver

I get quite a few unsolicited domain purchase inquiries. Many of them come as a result of the Voodoo.com sales form, others are sent presumably after finding my email address via Whois search, and others are sent directly from contact forms on my websites (like SHS.com and even DogWalker.com).

Generally speaking, I will reply to inquiries by asking the potential buyer to submit his or her best offer, or tell them the domain name is not for sale in the case of SHS.com inquiries and inquiries to my developed websites.

Lately, I’ve been finding that many people don’t even respond to my email replies that say something to the affect of “Feel free to submit your best offer for consideration.” I guess many people have no idea how much a domain name is worth and don’t bother submitting an offer.

I know there are people who will always price their domain names in response to inquiries, but I generally don’t. I prefer to let them make the opening offer so I can  gauge  whether they’re a buyer who will pay what I want or someone who will waste my time. It also gives me more of a negotiating advantage, and I don’t have to set a price, which establishes a ceiling. Needless to say, if they aren’t responding to my email reply, the deal is done regardless of who they are.

How do you respond to offers, and how has that been working for you?

Sedo Sells 3D.com for $500k

As is the tradition at Sedo, Director of Sales Kathy Nielsen rang the office bell to announce the sale of 3D.com. The company successfully brokered 3D.com for $500,000, in a deal that closed yesterday. The domain name was put up for sale in April of this year, and it appears to be owned by Register.com. The buyer’s identity was not revealed.

Congrats to Sedo on closing this big sale yesterday.

 

Where to Sell .XXX Domain Names

Every time a new domain extension becomes available for the general public to purchase, domain investors always want to know where they can sell the domain names they just purchased. This morning, someone asked “Where/how can i sell or auction a .xxx domain that i don’t want?”

Here are a few suggestions:

Sedo.com   – There’s an adult section called “XXX – Adult,” and I am pretty sure they will permit .XXX domain names to be listed in that section.  I am awaiting confirmation.

Afternic – Although .XXX is currently not included in the drop down menu of extensions, I would imagine Afternic will permit .XXX domain sales, since there are other adult related domain names on the site. I am awaiting confirmation, since they currently do not permit .XXX listings.

DN Forum – There is a section on DNF for adult domain sales, and there may be a separate .XXX section opening up. Perhaps Adam Dicker will open DNForum.XXX 🙂

NamePros – There is an adult sales forum and there’s also a .XXX domain discussion forum on NP.

Domain Brokers – My bet is that a number of private brokers like Andrew Rosener, Toby Clements, Justin Godfrey, and Rob Sequin will allow premium .XXX domain names to be included in their newsletters and via their brokerage.

Adult Webmaster Forums – I know many adult webmasters are not in favor of .XXX domain names. However, the sale of .XXX domain names may be permitted on an adult forum.

Do you have any suggestions for sales venues for .XXX domain names?

Afternic Sells $1.26 Million in Domain Names

I just received the weekly Afternic sales report, and the company reported a total of $1,263,330 (which included public and private sales). BonnieAndClyde.com was the largest sale at $13,000 followed by ParkModelHomes.com for $12,696. The Whois hasn’t changed on either domain name, so the buyers are not yet known.

In addition to the sales report, Afternic also announced that it is the exclusive broker on three top domain names: Quiz.com, OfficeSupply.com, and DateOnline.com.

Afternic sales from last week:

bonnieandclyde.com $13,000.00
parkmodelhomes.com $12,696.00
shapewear.co.uk $12,265.00
goldenpoint.com $11,850.00
xlplay.com $9,130.00
thesafechoice.com $6,400.00
NNQ.com $6,251.00
greenereveryday.com $6,160.00
viewyou.com $6,000.00
sitereviews.com $6,000.00
pilateschallenge.com $5,500.00
