Linea.com Sold for $200,000 (Updated)

The Linea.com domain name was in an expiry auction at NameJet that closed this afternoon. The highest bid was $200,000, and I am pretty certain this auction will successfully close. There were two bidders who bid on this domain name past the $70k mark.

When this auction closes, it will be the tenth largest domain name auction on NameJet, according to NameBio records. It will be slightly higher than the 2021 sale of Operate.com, and just lower than the $201,100 sale of 281.com in 2016. We are early in the year, but this $200,000 sale will tie for the 10th largest publicly reported sale of the year on DNJournal once it closes.

Will Market Volatility Impact Domain Name Deals?

Rob from Snagged reported that a deal he was working on was put on hold given the market volatility caused by the Trump tariffs. At the moment, the DJIA is down 3%, S&P is down nearly 4%, and the Nasdaq is down nearly 5%. People are understandably concerned how tariffs will impact international trade, and that left businesses concerned:

Not only am I concerned about domain name sales, I am also concerned about LTO deals that are in process. Will the market conditions and economic uncertainty cause people to purchase fewer domain names? Will people leasing domain names need to back out of deals as they tighten their wallets?

Poll: How was your Q1?

The first quarter of the year came to an end yesterday. All in all, the domain aftermarket seems pretty strong from my perspective. I had a solid Q1, recording multiple sales at Afternic, Sedo, Atom.com, and privately. Included in this is four new Lease to Own deals – three via Afternic and one via Atom.

Compared to Q1 of 2024, I had a substantially higher volume of sales. In fact, I sold nearly 3x the total number of domain names in Q1 2024 vs Q1 2025. Notably, just one of these sales was outbound, so it’s not like I was priming the pump to induce a greater number of sales. I am not going to share the largest sale price, but the smallest was $997 (I had a few of those).
