GoDaddy recently launched its high-end DomainNames.com marketplace. The platform launched with listings that included high value inventory like Harmony.com, HongKong.com, FL.com, Bankroll.com, Switch.ai, Ladder.ai, and a plethora of other great domain names.
According to a post from GoDaddy’s James Iles, DomainNames.com already closed its first sale:
Yep!
Unfortunately can’t share any details at this time, but we’re working on how we might be able to share more sales info in the future.

I reached out to James to ask about the domain name that was sold, but he was unable to share any details. I am almost certain the platform has a minimum price/valuation of six figures for domain names to be listed there, so one can assume it was at least a six figure deal.
From what I understand, GoDaddy has been reaching out to customers to add inventory to the platform. I believe people are also able to submit their inventory, but the company is limiting the listings that are approved for the platform.
I tried to sleuth out what domain name was sold, but Archive.org doesn’t have a record of the platform since it launched a few weeks ago so I can’t see if any names were subtracted since the launch.
Sounds like a flop.
