Today, I saw the domain sale of 888.mx for $10,000 and it makes me think of the .mx domains’ future. The domain is sold via the Sedo domain marketplace and I haven’t seen .mx domain sales in xx,xxx until now. The domain extension, .MX is open to anyone to register just a few months ago and it is a domain extension for a populated country, Mexico. Is it an end user domain sale? Possibly. There are possible end users including 888.com betting company and I am sure there are more companies with “888″ keyword.
When it was open for registeration, I was not so keen to get .mx domains and as a result I only have Tourism.mx . I think my domain, Tourism.mx will have some demand for the end users in the tourism industry.

I’d say the “888″ is what drove the value up on that one. I don’t know anything about the sale, but my guess is that there is a specific intended use for the domain that positioned it so well. “888″, maybe the toll-free code?
Nice sale !!! The owner buy it in September 2009 for $ 1,000. Then, he made a profit of $9,000 in less than one year !
I own in .MX extension :
- Streaming
- Consulting
- Skillgames
- black-jack
- Formacion (Formation in spanish language)
- Zapatillas (sportshoes in spanish language)
- Azar (Hazard in spanish language)
Do you think that I have made good investments ?

Mike, 888 isn’t a “toll-free code” but an online casino/gambling company.
