In January, I reported that the Make.com domain name appeared to have been sold. Make.com is a high value domain name asset that had been long-owned by Digimedia. At the time of publication, the domain name was registered under Whois privacy, and there wasn’t an active website operating on it.

Earlier this week on Twitter, a company called Integromat announced it launched a new brand called Make on the Make.com domain name:

Domain investors take varying amounts of time when responding to a purchase inquiry or offer. Some people feel that responding quickly can yield better results and others believe waiting to respond to an offer for a certain amount of time can yield better results. I’m not a sales expert, so I’ve sort of done what feels right to me.

When I receive an offer to buy one of my domain names, I tend to respond quickly. I have felt that when a person submits an offer or inquires about a domain name, they are either ready to buy or on a recognizance mission to get pricing data. I don’t really like the idea of waiting to reply for the purpose of waiting.

Last week before going on a quick family trip, I received a $1,000 offer to buy one of my domain names via Dan.com. I proposed a counteroffer to the prospective buyer, and he quickly declined. Because there was enough margin, I proposed a slightly better offer and did not hear back. I also increased the minimum offer amount just to just below the amount I proposed since that was the best deal I would give.

When I did not hear back after a couple of days, I retracted my offer. I kept the minimum offer the same and figured the prospective buyer might come back.

I believe Andrew Allemann was the first to write about MessageBird’s private acquisition of the Bird.com domain name in an article on Domain Name Wire. The domain name sale came after a seven figure auction sale apparently fell through. Andrew did not mention the sale price of Bird.com, but he did mention the deal was brokered by Right of the Dot.

Last week, Robin Wauters of Tech.eu published an article about the domain name acquisition. In the article, he shared a tidbit about how much may have been paid to acquire the Bird.com domain name:
