As the year ended, Escrow.com shared its 2023 Domain Trends report. The report left me with a few questions primarily related to total sales volume compared to the prior year. Now that 2023 has been finalized, my question was answered. Here’s a look at a comparison between 2023 sales volume on Escrow.com vs. 2022 sales volume on Escrow.com:

In April of this year, David Clements, CEO of Brannans, congratulated the founders of a company called Cold Plunge on its acquisition of Plunge.com. The company had been using TheColdPlunge.com for its website, and acquiring Plunge.com was a great domain name upgrade:

When the domain name upgrade was announced, the acquisition price of Plunge.com had not been revealed. Thanks to a podcast called My First Million (and thanks to Braden Pollock for bringing this to my attention), we now know the cost to buy Plunge.com was $250,000. The company reportedly acquired the domain name from a jazz band in New Orleans.

This morning on X, Andy Booth reported the sale of Precise.ai for $110,000. He reportedly acquired the domain name for less than $10,000 a few months ago. It appears the domain name was sold via the Squadhelp platform:

SOLD: https://t.co/unPTaeGrhp – $110,000

Purchase price: Under $10k, a few months ago

This is one of the “premium” names I’m talking about in .ai. Who doesn’t want a precise AI product? Learn to recognize premium and you’ll do well!

I wouldn’t normally be all boasty like this,…

The Whois information for Precise.ai does not show a registrant name. In addition, the domain name still resolves to a Squadhelp landing page. As a result, at the time of publication, the buyer is not yet known.
