CannaCorp.com was one of my favorite domains that were up for auction last week and I knew there would be a lot of interest. The auction closed at $16,500 on Friday last week and the Whois currently shows “Afternic, LLC – On Behalf of Domain Owner” as the registrant. Sedo went on to take the four runner-up spots on the board with, what seems to be, all end-user sales.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)The top grossing brandable sale last week was that of eKing.com which sold to what seems to be a Chinese buyer for $28,000. I suspect it will a nice domain name upgrade for eKing Technology, a subsidiary of Shanghai-based tech giant HNA Technology that currently operates on the hyphenated eking-tech.com domain.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)The top grossing brandable sale last week was Payen.com which sold for a cool $28,250 at Sedo.com. The domain name is not resolving as of yet and the Whois is under privacy so it’s unclear who the buyer is as of today.
The high price tag for Tackk.com is because it was the domain of a high-traffic, EdTech platform which raised 1.8M in funding prior to shutting down in 2017.
Daniel Ben-Ezra sold BizzyBee.com for $5,000 via Efty.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)Brandable domain names had a stellar week with 8 sales reaching five figures. The top grossing sale with $20,050 was for the expired TopMall.com domain name. The domain name was previously developed in what seems to be some sort of e-commerce site from Saudi Arabia which might explain the high price it went for.
My favorite name on the list is WePower.com. The most obvious end-user is a blockchain-based green energy trading platform operating under the same name. The company completed an ICO at the beginning of the year, raising a significant amount of money but is currently still using a .network domain name for their website. As of today, it is not clear who the new owner of the domain name is.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)The top grossing brandable sale last week was Kiaro.com which sold for a cool $15,000 at Sedo. Not a bad price for a 5-letter
I have always liked 5-letter invented brandables, especially since my first sale as a domain name investor was that of Obria.com for $4,696
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)It’s not often we see a four-keyword domain name making this list. But last week, CurryInAHurry.com sold for a spicy $9,000 at Sedo.com. The domain name has yet to resolve but the buyer is Pure Indian Foods Corporation, an online grocer that sells organic, Indian food.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)Let’s talk about Jobster.com – a domain name with a rich history in an industry I know well: online recruitment. Jobster was founded in 2004 by serial entrepreneur Jason Goldberg (who later founded Fab.com and blockchain platform OST) to take on the established players of that time such as Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com. The young founder raised a staggering $52.5M in funding for the company and went through a large number of pivots but the startup ended up being sold off to another HR Tech company in 2010 for a fraction of its previous valuation.
The site was neglected over the years and went completely offline around a year ago and more recently showed a “this domain name is expired” landing page from GoDaddy. When I saw the domain name appear on GoDaddy’s expired auctions list I pinged Jason on Twitter in case he wanted to buy back the domain name of his first startup. The domain name never made it to auction however as it was removed from the expired auction list which usually indicates that the owner renewed the domain name during its redemption period. I didn’t think much of it until I saw the domain name was sold for $200,000 via Sedo last week.
The majority of the Whois details of the new owner are private but there are some hints that the buyer is Dutch staffing company Young Capital. It will be interesting to see what they will do with the name.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)Only one reported sale closed in the five-figure range last week. That was Bons.com which sold for $14,000 at Sedo. Based on current Whois data the buyer seems to be an online-casino operator but the domain name isn’t in use as of yet.
TheSite.com was an expired domain name at auction at GoDaddy I was watching. It closed at $8,800.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)October is off to a strong start for brandable domain names sales with six reported sales in the five-figure range. DollarCity.com which sold at DomainMarket.com tops the chart with a cool $90,000. It currently forwards to DollarCity.net which is the site of a South American retailer.
Here’s this weeks list:
(more…)The top grossing brandable sale last week goes to Sedo where Mappa.com sold for a whopping $127,400. Almost the entire list
BestMind.com sold for $15,000 and reminds me of two domains that sold trough Efty not long ago for similar prices: SuperMind.com for $12,500 and MindStrong.com for $10,700
