Because of the TRAFFIC conference, this list of newly added domain brokerage listings is a bit abbreviated. If any of the names are of interest to you, contact the listing broker.

If you’d like to share a domain name you are selling, feel free to list it in the comment section. If you want to buy something, contact the seller directly. As always, you are welcome to only submit one domain name that hasn’t been marketed for sale before as long as you include a buy it now price. Don’t like to “make offer” listings.

Before listing, keep in mind people can like or dislike your submission, so don’t post something if you are afraid of possible criticism. No commentary on the submissions is allowed.

If you don’t see anything you like here, check out  Nokta Domains, as they have a large portfolio of domain names for sale.

In January of 2012, Escrow.com announced that the company had surpassed $1 billion in transactions. Just a little over a year later, and the company has closed an additional half a billion in total transactions. From my perspective, the growth rate is as impressive as the total transaction volume.

According to a press release this morning, “Escrow.com is pleased to announce that they have surpassed $1.5 Billion in secured settled transactions and continues to establish itself as the leading provider of secure business and transaction management on the Internet.”

Since Escrow.com is the preferred escrow service of Ebay, Cars.com, and other companies, I don’t know what percentage of this huge dollar amount is domain sales. I would guess it’s a considerable amount considering the widespread usage of the company’s services across the domain industry.

Congratulations to the team at Escrow.com, and as always, I appreciate the company’s sponsorship of my blog.

Here’s the press release announcing the news:

Mike Mann is the founder of Buy Domains, Domain Market, and a number of other Internet companies such as SEO.com and Phone.com (three of his companies made the 2012 Inc 500 list). He also happens to be a polarizing individual, and some people have strong opinions of him.

If you don’t follow his Facebook account, you can see evidence of this by the number of Fake Mike Mann and/or Mike Mann parody Twitter accounts that have been created.  Here are just a few of them that I found this morning:

There are a few people in the domain industry that seem to get lots of good publicity, and Mike Mann is one of those people. This week, Forbes ran an article about Mann’s Cashless.com startup, and it’s well worth a read.

At the moment, the business has not yet launched, and the domain name is parked at Smartname. However, a major fundraising effort is under way, and Mann hopes to begin staffing the company soon.

According to the article, Mann “intends to raise $1 million in seed funding over the next three months” from friends and family. The company will launch in south Florida as a testing bed, and should it prove to be a hit, the expectation is that it will expand and further fund raising efforts will be made beyond friends and family.

Knowing Mann’s deep connections from within the domain industry, should Cashless.com be a big hit, there may be a lot of money flowing back into the domain space. Based on Mann’s track record, I wouldn’t bet against him. I don’t think the guy sleeps, and if he does, it’s next to his computer.

This will be a company to follow.
