Domain investor Mike Mann is back, posting new details of high value domain sales this week, and has revealed over $70,000 worth of sales publicly. Mr Mann has been in the news recently after publishing his views on new gTLDs and their worth in relation to .COM domain names; something that has sparked debate throughout social media and domain blogs.
Posting to his Twitter account this week, Mike revealed a total of three domain names that have sold for a combined total of $77,776, with the total acquisition price being $915.50 for the three domains.
The largest sale of the three is that of PersonalPlanner.com for $43,000, which Mike purchased in November 2008 for $900. According to WHOIS, this domain name sold via Sedo and is currently in Sedo's Escrow account.
There is one likely buyer for this domain name - a Swedish company called Personlig Almanacka, which operates a popular site on Personal-Planner.com. I wouldn't be surprised to see this company taking action and upgrading their domain name.
The second largest sale is that of a three-word .COM, which Mann hand registered in 2010 for $8. The domain, CareYourWay.com, was sold for $24,888 and looks to have been transferred to its new owners already, as it's under privacy at GoDaddy.
The phrase "CareYourWay" has been registered in all major gTLD variants that are listed on DomainTools.com. The .ORG is actively used by St Luke's University Health Network, and both the .NET and .US were registered by a company called Rockwell Financial LLC in 2015.
The third sale that Mike announced is WorldsBestVideo.com, which he sold for $9,888 after registering it in 2009 for $7.50. While Mike sold this name, he still owns WorldsBestVideos.com, which has a Buy Now price of $24,888.
The name was acquired by an individual from Texas who has also registered a number of related domains recently, including GreatestOnlineVideo.us and UniverseGreatestVideos.info.
Alongside the news of these three sales, Mike also revealed this week that the average sales price on his marketplace, DomainMarket.com, has increased and is now around the $3,000 mark.
