Now that apps have exploded beyond all initial forecasts and the App Revolution is ongoing and growing, I'm curious to see how app-happy any of you have been, in picking up app names?
I picked up several premium app names in 2008, either hand-regging them or buying on the secondary market. I've sold 9 over the last few years for a substantial ROI, and receive inquiries or an offer for various app names at least 5 x per week.
I see where the Singapore startup that acquired mobileapps.com received early stage funding about 2 months ago, and the founders claim that the domain helped them a lot with this seed round.
The owners of greatapps.com were asking a minimum of $1 million for their domain, but it now appears they are planning to launch a robust site next month.
Our Company wanted to purchase freeapps.com, but we couldn't afford the asking price of $2 million, which is well beyond our budget.
I think Intuit purchased Apps.com for a very nice figure (was it a million) some years ago -- I imagine the domain now would be worth at least $5 million.
Please share your thoughts, and please show me your app-names?
