DoorHardware.com sold for high xx,xxx range

I haven’t posted blogs regarding domain sales for past few days. Today I noticed a good domain sale and the domain sold was DoorHardware.com.  The domain was sold at the Sedo domain marketplace. I thought it was definitely an end user sale due to the price range it was sold and the keyword quality. I also guessed there would not be a lot of searches per month (EXACT search volume). The domain, DoorHardware.com was sold for $85,000 and it was a very healthy domain sale for such a domain.

When I did the research on the keyword “door hardware“, I found out that there had been around 18,100 EXACT searches per month for the keyword with CPC (cost per click) about $1.5 per click.

A nice payday for the domain seller.

It is strange. I let “StudentTour.com” domain auction go not noticing StudentTours.com recently sold for x,xxx

It was a bit of strange. Just a few days ago, I was participating in the domain auctions (3 domains) and I was focussing on one domain, GreatThemes.com which I acquired.

At the same time, there was another domain auction “StudentTour.com” running and there was only low xxx when I switch my attention completely off the domain, “StudentTour.com”.

I didn’t realize that its plural domain, StudentTours.com was just sold at Sedo for $3,000. If I was aware of that domain sale, I might be interested to acquire “StudentTour.com“.

Women Com in GE/ NBC Legal Dispute

Sometimes big dollar domain sales go wrong. Witness the legal issues between NBC Universal, the seller of both Women.com and Women.net from NBC and iVillage to Ben Padnos. The ex parte motions read like civil matters gone amok, except that a huge amount of clicks are at stake. Benjamin Padnos of Done Ventures bought the names on Sedo. This happened May 24th of 2010.

But minus amenable settlement of the deal he had tried filing a restraining order on NBC Universal, to cease them from using the names online. NBC, one of the biggest names and companies in entertainment with an ambitious online campaign for programming and marketing, evidently wants to keep them. How did things go so wrong? NBC claims Jeff Zucker countermanded the sale after Sedo informed the principal contacts at NBC the names were sold.

With control of the actual name(s) staying with NBC, every day that goes by is a win for the Peacock, and a loss for the Sedo buyer. Question: Are sellers and Jeff Zucker not bound by Sedo Terms of Service? The poor domain buyer thought he could actually fork over a million bucks and actually get two domain names. Per the filed legal text, NBC currently points the names to iVillage for traffic.

This legal hootenanny comes after receipt of an email every domainer dreams of getting:  ”Alan and Ben, Congratulations!  The offer for Women.com has been accepted!” Sedo’s reply email indicates that NBC/GE would be creating a Bill of Sale for the $ 1 million sale.  ” The legal case will determine much for the future pathway of online legal binding sales.Furthermore, do GE/NBC stockholders know they just lost a cool million?

Female audiences for online female products and women’s sites for everything from makeup to venture capital funding is a titanic market. Hence GE and NBC Universal’s interest in keeping the name. Parent company GE is based in New York, although key NBC Universal offices are in Burbank and Los Angeles, California. Domainers should bookmark their legal case watching to make sure their next big dream bid goes through.

DentalInsuranceComparison.com Auction only few hours left

The domain auction for  DentalInsuranceComparison.com is nearly over with only 5 hours to go. I can’t believe there is only one bid so far (reserve met with very low reserve). You would not get a second chance to get this kind of quality business domain name.

Petinsurancecomparison.com was sold for $11,100 recently and there are strong demand for “insurance” related keyword domains.

Why don’t you have a look at the Sedo domain auction (only over 4 hours left) , visit here at DentalInsuranceComparison.com domain auction link.

NoktaDomains.com is selling my own domain DoorstepLoans.com without permission!!

I was looking at Google for my website for Doorstep Loans and actually I was looking at whether the website,Doorstep Loans got any backlinks. Surprisingly, I find out that NoktaDomains marketplace has been selling my domain, DoorstepLoans.com on their site without my permission.

You may look at their domain sale page for the domain, DoorstepLoans.com at Noktadomains selling my domain. I have no idea what is going on. I have checked whois data and I still own the domain and the website, Doorstep Loans.

YYY.com sold for mid xx,xxx

The domain, YYY.com was sold for mid xx,xxx and it was a rare LLL.com domain sale. The domain was EXACTLY sold at $45,444 and it was through Sedo domain marketplace. There are only 26 such LLL.com domains and I think it is a fair price for both seller and the buyer. It is also brandable LLL.com domain as well.

Sec.de Germany domain sold in six figure range

It was interesting to see a six figure domain sale of Sec.de for 136,850 EURO (around $177,126.75 US dollars). The domain was sold at the Sedo domain marketplace. Even though it was a good LLL.de, I thought it was a bit too much for such a .de domain because I believed even Sec.com would not be  worth that much money.

A good domain sale for the domain seller.

.co domain names. 5 of my generic one word preorders were successful.

I was not into .co domain names until last 5 days or so ago. I thought I would not want to risk $300 per domain. But I became interested in preordering .co domains 5 days or so ago. Therefore I started looking into preordering the .co domain names but surprisingly most of the popular generic .co domains had been already preordered.

I was only able to put 15 to 20 .co domain preorders and today I confirmed that I got the following .co domains.

Fridges.co

Refrigerators.co

Boiler.co

Freezers.co

Heaters.co

I am confident that I would have some interest for my above .co domains. I have plans to develop these domains but if I receive the right offers before I have time to develop them, may consider selling them individually or as a group. I am more positive after learning that there was a six figure sale for a .co domain recently.

Good .info domain sale; gentleman.info domain sold in x,xxx range

Recently there was a respectable .info domain sale in the range of x,xxx. The domain, Gentleman.info was sold for 2,000 EURO (around $2511.74 according to today’s exchange rate). It was a generic one word .info domain name and it was a good price for the seller.

When I looked at the Google tool, there were 450,000 EXACT searches per month for the keyword “Gentleman“. CPC (cost per click) was around $0.43 per click. The domain was sold at the Sedo domain marketplace.

High priced .in Indian domain sale; budgetair.in sold in xx,xxx range

Recent domain news suggested that the domain, budgetair.in was sold for a xx,xxx range exactly at $20,000 and it was a surprising domain sale. I was not aware of any five figure .in (Indian) domain sales previously and this domain sale was certainly a very good deal for the seller. I think it might be an end user domain sale. I would very much doubt that any experienced domainer would pay that price range even for BudgetAir.com .

The domain budgetair.in was sold at Sedo domain marketplace and it certainly was a big payout deal for the seller.
