First.com and Fancy.com Domain Names Sold

Andrew Miller of Hilco Digital has been publishing a weekly update on LinkedIn for the last three years. In his Random Sunday Thoughts posts, he often shares insights and advice for domain name buyers and sellers. Occasionally, he mentions completed deals that may not have been discovered by others.

This morning on X, Yinan Wang shared that he sold two domain names in deals that were overseen and managed by Andrew Miller. First.com and Fancy.com were both sold for undisclosed sums:

From the looks of it, First.com is now being used as a gambling news website under the First branding. Fancy.com is registered under Whois privacy and forwards to Atom.com (nameservers have not yet changed). By using DomainTools, I can see Fancy.com had a $3.5 million asking price, but I wouldn’t speculate on its ultimate sale price.

There are many deals that go under the radar every year. It’s nice to hear about these deals to see how the domain names are ultimately used.
