According to a news release today, Moniker recently brokered the sale of adult domain name FreePorn.com for $4 million. This marks the largest domain sale of 2008, and one of the largest domain sales ever. In May of 2007, Porn.com sold for $9 million.
Does anyone have a spare ticket to TRAFFIC Las Vegas that can be used by Grassroots.org? I was speaking with Angela Siefer, the director of this non-profit organization, and she said they don’t have the $2,000 budgeted to pay for a ticket to the show. Perhaps someone has a ticket they aren’t using, or maybe someone would be willing to make a tax deductible contribution to help them attend the conference.
It’s always neat when I wake up and there’s an article of relevance to me in the New York Times. Page One of this morning’s New York Times Business Section features an article about the domain industry, focusing on the growth of the industry while many other industries (especially physical real estate) are stagnant or losing value. The article comes on the heels of DomainFest in Los Angeles, which featured live and silent auctions ending with somewhere around $4 million in domain sales.
I didn’t want to sell DebtCollectors.com for a few months, when I believe the debt collection industry will be even larger due to credit woes plaguing the US economy. However, due to a time sensitive development opportunity, I decided to sell this name for a great price. If you are interested in acquiring this category killer career/job domain name, please email me ASAP with your competitive offer. The price is VERY competitive, as I would like to close a deal today.
Here is some information about DebtCollectors.com:
When buying a domain name intended for development, you should determine the “burndown value” of the domain name. In the general sense, the “burndown value” is what the name is be worth once the previously developed website was/is removed. Although a developed website generally increases the burndown value, there are some instances where the burndown value may be affected by the website that existed before, or what the previous owner did with the domain name.
DCA Ambassador of the Year award winners David and Michael Castello have quietly launched one of their company’s flagship domain names, Manicure.com. Although Manicure.com is still in its embryonic stage, the Castello Brothers are willing to peel back the curtains and allow domain investors and developers the rare opportunity to see the final stages of development of this great generic domain name. Once completed, Manicure.com will feature manicure tips, product information and much more.
The full and celebrated launch of Manicure.com is expected to be in about a month, but we will have an inside look at the final steps to developing this generic domain name into a fully functioning, multi-purpose website. David is willing to share daily updates with readers as the website continues to grow, creating a reference tool for other developers who may be facing the same struggles. I think this is a great opportunity for anyone who is going down the path of development and wants to see how the professionals do it.
Feel free to post comments or questions, and I am sure David or Michael will be happy to address them.
