In this week’s Top Topics, we profile a hand registered domain that was reportedly sold for $8,000, Dofo releases their domain industry report for August, and an AMA chat uncovers a six-figure domain sale. Elsewhere, there are some further details disclosed about the record-setting $30 million Voice.com sale.


I Sold BullionBlocks.com for $8,000

After registering this two-word .COM back in 2016, a domain investor has revealed that they have now completed the sale of BullionBlocks.com for $8,000. According to the discussion, that equates to a 26,000% return on investment.

Along with the details of the domain sale as well as the offers that preceded the final $8,000 accepted offer, the seller disclosed the buyer’s identity along with some comparable sales data that may have influenced their asking price.

AMA Reveals Six-Figure Sale

Periodically, notable domain investors create an AMA (ask me anything) discussions allowing domainers to ask anything regarding domaining. This week, @lambo.com created an AMA discussion, and one of the first questions asked was “What’s your biggest sale?”

Answering succinctly, @lambo.com disclosed that they sold the domain CoinEx.com for around $500,000 with help from “M.O”, which is likely to stand for Media Options, the powerhouse domain brokerage. Now, CoinEx.com is being used to run a global digital coin exchange.

The Initial Offer for Voice.com Was $150,000

The largest publicly disclosed domain sale of all time is Voice.com, surpassing the previous incumbents by attaining a sales price of $30 million. Since the transaction, we’ve had a small drip-feed of information regarding the sale. Firstly, we discovered the buyer’s identity, then the price, then the fact that GoDaddy was instrumental in closing the deal.

Now, we have information from MicroStrategy, the company that sold the domain. More specifically, MicroStrategy’s CEO, Michael J Saylor revealed that the initial offer for Voice.com was $150,000, and he would not get on the phone with the buyer until the offer had reached a dizzying $22 million.
