Recently, Elliot Silver (@EJS) of DomainInvesting.com revealed that Tokens.com sold for $500,000. This week, Starfire Holdings' @Candace took to NamePros to confirm that the transaction has now closed, with crypto company Polymath now taking full control of the domain. This would now put Tokens.com as the joint second largest domain sale of 2018 so far.

Here are this week's Top Topics.


A Warning to Other Investors: I Was Scammed

Domain investor Richard Dynas (@uglydork) is perhaps best known for his sale of Hatred.com to Milo Yiannopoulos for $150,000 in June 2017. This week, Richard published a candid tale of how a simple LinkedIn post turned into a potential six-figure acquisition of a premium domain.

It turns out that Richard was in the process of being scammed out of several thousand dollars, the majority of which he has now regained. The story, available in full in this discussion, is a welcome warning to all investors.

I Sold OCX.com for $50,000

Three-letter .COM's have been established as valuable assets to both investors and end users. According to NameBio, there have been 127 three-letter .COM sales within the past year, with several companies opting to pay five and six-figure fees to get the best names.

After acquiring the domain OCX.com for $19,000 in May 2015, this investor has announced the sale of the domain for $50,000 via the @Sedo marketplace. At the time of writing, the domain is in the process of being transferred to its new owner.

The identity of the new owner is currently unknown, but it could have been acquired by Integral, a finance company that recently released the Open Currency Exchange.

A Four-Letter .COM Sells for Over $15,000

Another five-figure sale that has been revealed this week is that of a four-letter .COM domain, again via the Sedo marketplace. After receiving an inquiry from a Sedo broker, the investor indicated an asking price and within a day, the buyer had agreed to pay.
