Domain Sales

Sedo Sells Nearly $700k in Domain Names: G.biz Re-Sold for $30k

SedoSedo sold in the ballpark of $700,000 USD worth of domain names last week, with SelfEmployed.com selling for $58,000 and FoodTruck.com selling for $30,000. Rome.net was also a pretty strong sale, as it went for $30,000.

G.biz was sold for $30,000. Interestingly, Francois Carrillo from Domaining.com bought G.biz for $9,400 in September of 2009, via Sedo auction. Although the domain name is currently pending transfer and under privacy, I would not be surprised if Google bought it, especially in light of its acquisition of G.CO.

Here are Sedo’s publicly reported sales from last week:

selfemployed.com 58000 USD
foodtruck.com 30000 USD

Aftermarket.com Now Offering Private Domain Brokerage Services

Aftermarket.comI received an email this morning announcing that Aftermarket.com is now offering private domain brokerage services. The company has domain brokers that will work on behalf of buyers to sell domain names. I am not sure of the terms the company offers for exclusivity or successful sales, but you may contact brokers@Aftermarket.com for more information.

In the email announcement, the company listed some of the domain names that are now under exclusive contract, including the following:

  • BankruptcyLaw.com
  • CopyrightLaw.com
  • PatentsLaw.com
  • TrademarkLaw.com
  • RentCars.com
  • SexualDiscriminationLawyer.com
  • UrgentCare.com
  • Proposition.com
  • WorldTradeCenter.com
  • Accomplish.com

If you aren’t already aware, Aftermarket.com is owned and operated by Thought Convergence.

Grid.com Sold for $275,000 via Sedo

Sedo domain broker Dave Evanson is reporting that he brokered the sale of Grid.com for $275,000. With a creation date of 1992, Grid.com is one of the oldest domain names created. At the present time, the sale of Grid.com will rank in the top 15 domain sales of 2011.

The Whois listing for the domain name now shows a “Nicole Hutchings” as the registrant. I reached out to the phone number in the Whois database to ask how Grid.com will be used, and I reached a voicemail for someone with a different name. Upon further research, the phone number appears to be connected to a person named Amy, and based on a LinkedIn profile for that person, it looks like she might work for a social gaming company.

I am awaiting a return phone call and email to see if the phone number in the Whois database is incorrect or to confirm that the buyer was the gaming company. Whatever the case is, congratulations to the buyer, seller, and Sedo on a nice sale.

The domain name currently resolves to a GoDaddy landing page.

4Square.com on Auction at NameJet

The domain name 4Square.com is coming up for sale on NameJet, and with some active bidding, the price is already over $1,200. It appears that this is a private auction rather than a drop, as the expiration date is September of 2012.

In order to bid on this domain name, a backorder needs to be placed by 11pm Eastern tonight. With well over 100 bidders right now, it will likely sell for significantly more than its current bid.

According to the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, the term “4square” has over 18,000 global exact match searches, while the more popular “foursquare” has over 500,000 global exact match searches.

While at first glance, it might seem like a big legal risk for someone in light of the popular Foursquare brand, the popular Four Square game was in existence far before the location-based social networking company was created.

At what price do you think this name will sell? My guess would be between $15,000-20,000.

Development Will Result in Fewer Offers

Based on my own experiences, I believe that developing your domain names will likely result in fewer unsolicited offers to purchase them. You may want to consider this before embarking on a domain name you’d ultimately like to sell.

When I first bought DogWalker.com, I received somewhere around 10 offers in the first few weeks of owning it. Since building a website on the domain name, I received no subsequent offers to purchase the domain name. The same can be said about my geodomain names I’ve developed. In thinking about this further, I rarely receive offers for my developed domain names, even those with mini sites. It may not be the sites (perhaps it’s the names), but it is something to think about.

On the other hand, I do still receive offers for my undeveloped domain names. In fact, I sold BikeTours.com and a small town RealEstate.com name last week to buyers who contacted me using the Parked.com contact form I have on most of my parked domain names. I receive quite a few offers on my parked domain names, although most aren’t from Whois lookups.

I am of the opinion that many people want to buy domain names but they do not know about the Whois database. They visit their desired domain names to see if someone else has a business or website on them. Unless they have very deep pockets, I don’t think many of these entrepreneurs and wanna be business owners are going to contact a relatively good looking website owner asking to sell the domain name.

I believe having a clear “for sale” message does help drive offers. In fact, I’ve heard that the bright orange stripe on the top of many Internet Traffic and Name  Administration  domain names is helping to increase offers. It should also be noted that Domain Market and SmartName use a similar call to action message on the top of most parked domain names.

If you have domain names that you want to sell, you might reconsider whether to develop them for short term revenue opportunities since they could cause a decrease in unsolicited offers. If you do develop them, be sure to have a clear “for sale” notice on them.

I would really like to hear your feedback and experiences on this.

Sell Your .CO Domain Names Before They Expire

I bought a number of .CO domain names via NameJet / Enom last July, and I started to receive renewal notices for them a few weeks ago. I did a couple of searches, and it appears that a significant number of .CO domain names bear registration dates around July 19 – 20, 2010.  

This means that the week of July 18 will be a hugely important week for the .CO Registry. Some companies are offering a .CO coupon code, but they are still relatively expensive compared to other extensions. I believe there are going to be a significant number of dropping / expiring .CO domain names in the next couple of weeks.

I know of a couple people who are interested in buying premium .CO domain names for good prices, and they would rather buy them in private than have to backorder and compete for them, or pay an extra fee for backordering the names.

If you own three letter or three number .CO domain names, or you own other GOOD keyword domain names and would like to sell them instead of renewing them, post them in the comment section below with their prices and way to contact you about buying them. It might also be a good idea to offer a bulk discount. Perhaps you can make a sale or two.


I am on vacation and posting with an iPad, so my apologies for any typos. I also may not be able to approve comments immediately.
