I just learned the valuable TP.com domain name was sold in February of this year. TP.com was listed for sale via Afternic with an asking price of $1.4 million. The domain name was sold for $1,200,000 via Afternic. The sale was reported to me by the seller, an industry colleague I have known for many years who wishes to not be named.
Although the Whois record for TP.com is private, the buyer of TP.com appears to be a company called Teleperformance. This company is publicly traded on the Paris Stock Exchange under the TEP ticker symbol. Teleperformance has a market capitalization approaching 5.7 Billion EUR. At the time of publication, TP.com is forwarding to the Teleperformance.com website.
In looking at NameBio, I can see a public sale record for TP.com dating back to 2016. The domain name previously sold for $929,000 via NameJet. It was the 7th largest publicly reported domain name sale of that year, according to DNJournal. In looking back at NameBio, this appears to be the first publicly shared 2 letter .com (LL .com) domain name sale since the $3.8 million sale of IT.com in June of 2022.
Unless a larger domain name sale is reported in the next few days, this $1.2 million sale will become the largest publicly reported domain name sale of the year as recorded by DNJournal and Namebio. It is the first publicly reported 7 figure domain name sale of 2024, although there are others that have not yet been reported.
Separately, I understand Printing.com is pending sale at $2.27 million USD, but that appears to be a payment plan deal that won’t be recorded until it is paid in full.
Seems like a low price for such a domainname.
Ugh; really? While an O.K. sale, Rick Schwartz would have gotten at least $3,000,000 for it. At least.
TP in the world-commanding .com extension is one of the true jewels of the 2-letters.
