Sedo’s monthly Great Domains auction concluded today, and I have published the results of the sale below. The auction netted close to $150,000 USD in sales, with 13 domain names selling today.

The largest sale in today’s auction was the three letter HSE.com domain name, which sold for $34,000 USD. UWK.com, PUU.com, UUL.com, and UEU.com all sold for 20,000 EUR, which is about $21,725 USD at today’s exchange rate. VKZ.com sold for just under $10,000 USD. The two four figure .info domain names that sold seem to have done pretty well at auction.

For your convenience, I shared the full list of domain names that sold during the March Great Domains auction.

Listed below are the domain names that sold with their sale prices. Keep in mind that since the auction closed today, payments for these domain names likely have not yet been remitted.

App.nl: A Picture Perfect Domain Sale

Sometimes the owner of something can be completely unaware of how much its value will rise over time and that it could become an object of desire for others. This is a common situation with works of artwork and real estate. But the same thing also happens with Internet addresses – it’s just that many people aren’t as familiar with this.

Sixteen years ago, when Bert Pots, a resident of the Netherlands, registered the Internet address app.nl for his company, he COULDN’T have possibly known that the term “app” would take on a whole other dimension and gain a new sense of value in the years to come. Registering the app.nl address cost him about € 9 per month at the time. Fast forward to 2014, when Pots sold it for € 18,500 via the domain marketplace Sedo.

It all started in 1998. Bert Pots had just founded his company

Ignite.com Leads the Way at Great Domains Auction

The first Great Domains auction of 2015 hosted by Sedo ended this morning, and Ignite.com sold for $112,500. The reserve price on Ignite.com had been set between $50,000 – $100,000. In total, the auction grossed a bit under $130,000 in sales, with 6 domain names selling.

I know that Sedo broker Dave Evanson had been reaching out to end user buyers to sell Ignite.com, and there is a good chance one of those contacts was the buyer given the final sale price. Once payment is made and the domain name transfers, I will follow up on this if there seems to be a good story about the acquisition. There are quite a few companies that would benefit from owning Ignite.com, and “ignite” would make an excellent brand name.

The second highest sale of the auction was Wardrobes.com, which sold for 9,999 GBP. The list of the 6 domain names that sold is published below. I presume

Sedo’s Great Domains auction for December ended yesterday, and there was about $188,000 USD in sales closed (several of the sales were in Euros instead of US Dollars). Out of the ten domain names that met reserve and sold, four of them were .DE domain names, Germany’s ccTLD extension.

There were quite a few three letter .com domain names with reserve prices included in the auction, as Aaron Wilkin mentioned last week. Only one of those LLL .com domain names, CCT.com, met its reserve price and sold. I saw that quite a few bids were placed below reserve on those three letter domain names, so perhaps Sedo will be able to close additional sales post-auction.

Listed below are the ten sales from

According to a tweet that was published this morning, the IDNX domain name price index is up a bit more than 25% over the past 12 months. Prices were up 4.7% in October and down .7% in November. You can visit the IDNX website to see the full chart and report.

Despite the robust growth rate during the course of the last year, the IDNX domain index appears to be underperforming a bit when compared to the NASDAQ 100. According to
