***EG.domains*** · 09-25-2008, 01:32 PM

The auction started at $70 (no reserve) last Thursday.

Auction Link: http://www.greatdomains.com/auction/...ction_id=40129

Just an FYI. It's always best to put "Went For" instead of sold. The only way a domain name is SOLD is if it's Paid For.

So for now, Address.net Went For $20,010 via Sedo and is pending payment and transfer.

But nice "went for" price

I agree, that would be a nice price. Several nice one word .net's were all passed yesterday during Aftermarket.com's auction... so that would be a nice boost for .net's.

I have a a good feeling about single word .nets in the future esp as generic .com prices continue to rise

Steve · 09-25-2008, 04:27 PM

Yikes. That's about $15,000 more than I'd pay. Then again, I'm not a .net fan by any stretch of imagination. Good price for the current owner.

dgridley · 09-25-2008, 07:08 PM

I don't like .net generally but I think this is one case where both buyer and seller made a good deal..

HuntingMoon · 09-25-2008, 07:27 PM

nice data, thanks

jagusa · 09-25-2008, 07:34 PM

Given the recent , and generally fairly low, generic .net sale prices, this one certainly is an anomaly. It'll be interesting to see what happens with it from here.

dgridley · 09-25-2008, 08:20 PM

I think it obviously has alot of applications from address search to shipping data to mapping. Only drawback is the extension.

Well the second best extension aside from .com...

useless · 09-25-2008, 08:50 PM

i too dont like the appeal of .nets but ...certain one word u just cant deny like this one....

***EG.domains*** · 10-17-2008, 06:31 AM

The sale has been confirmed now.

ff89 · 10-17-2008, 07:36 AM

Im up there with you Steve. This price seems a bit foolish on the buyers end. Im not a big fan of the applications of this domain name, and for the same cash, one could do some nice damage right now.

sdsinc · 10-17-2008, 09:16 AM

Seems like a fair price.

Easydoms · 10-17-2008, 09:20 AM

Again its down to the end user and the plans they have for it, they may be sitting on a great idea and already have plans in place for a good income from it!!

I know we all talk about the end user, but this really is a good case of what will be paid for a name that some think ummmm only worth xxxx

Agree.

A good barometer for top tier one word .nets. Address is obviously amongst the best.

.Com has a good concept.

looks like the .net forwards to a Finnish site right now..

slapman · 10-17-2008, 10:35 AM

wow i cant believe it sold for that much

napa · 10-17-2008, 10:37 AM

I think the deal was fair, both parties should be happy.

shinysign · 10-17-2008, 02:02 PM

I personally think that address.net is very brandable - though it is a dot net, it has a nice ring to it, I could imagine it being said in a television commercial even.

Still, if they advertise in any way besides a direct link, the traffic they will lose to address.com will be considerable, in fact even if they advertise on the internet only they will still lose a lot of traffic to address.com from people forgetting and typing it in wrong, but in my opinion address.net is still an example of a very good .net. Perhaps that sounds contradictory, but the point is that with .nets losing some traffic to .com just goes with the territory and its still a good name despite this.

ezimedia · 10-21-2008, 11:14 PM

HI

I think it was a bit over priced for a .net

labrocca · 10-22-2008, 02:50 AM

No love for dot net? Awe...it is by far the best TLD outside dot com. It's not the red-headed step child...more like the sexy cousin.
