Winemaker.com has sold for $100,000, I learned late last week. The domain name was sold by NetIncome Ventures, the domain investment firm operated by industry veteran Garry Chernoff. Uniregistry broker Tom Aughton helped close the all-cash deal.

Because of GDPR, I am unable to see who acquired the domain name. Whois records show the new registrant appears to be based in Zurich, Switzerland. The name servers are currently set to default Uniregistry name servers, so more information about the buyer is not known. The Winemaker.com landing page has a “coming soon” message within the top header.

When I set my prices for domain names I am looking to sell, it is more of an art than a science. There are a number of considerations I balance to set prices on my domain names. Here are some of the factors that I consider as I am setting prices:

  • Purchase price
  • Comparable sales
  • Comparable domain names for sale
  • Market conditions
  • My business conditions
  • GoDaddy appraisal on listings that will show the appraised value
  • Gut feel

After evaluating all of these factors – some more than others, I set the price for each domain name. Most of these factors are considered very rapidly, and I often defer to gut feel above all else, thinking, what can I imagine an end user paying to buy this domain name in a reasonable amount of time?

A week and a half ago, I shared a bit of sales data about my business from that week. I do not really share any domain sales info or data for a number of reasons, but given the challenging times we find ourselves in, I wanted to share what I observed in my own portfolio. During that week, I closed five end user sales, which is quite a few considering that my domain portfolio has roughly 1,000 domain names in it.

With another week in the books, I want to provide a follow-up to that article to share my domain sales results and observations from last week.

It looks like the super high value All.com domain name has changed hands.
