news Mike Mann just sold CryptoWorld.com for....

[Michael M]

Mike Mann has just sold CryptoWorld.com for $194,888.

What are your thoughts on the price?

 

[cipcip]

That's nonsense. If you think it's only worth $50, you have more studying to do. He might get more than most, simply because has asks for more.

I ask for $1million for cafetag.com -> would you buy it ? You can ask whatever you like, no one will give you that. The hype gets you more money, that is a fact.

That's ridiculous as well. I doubt most people who buy domains even know who the seller is, besides the name, or could care less. And they don't buy hype, they buy the name. And it's probably what was posted earlier, somebody upgrading their name. As I pointed out, there are many domains registered with those keywords. There is lots of money in crypto, some doing very well and have money to spend. And unless there is info saying otherwise, it sold. So what's to debate.

You mentioned something about his name being talked about in forums, hence the high sales. How many end users read domain forums? I'm sure a domainer might know about him but not most buyers. And then what would that have to do with a sale anyway? People talk about you, I'll pay more?

Look at your statement, which makes no sense:

"That is why he gets so many sales, because you think he is God."

So the buyer read this forum and thought, hey, other domainers think he's God, I'll pay much more now because of that?

 

[cipcip]

If you will see my as a God in domaining, I think that yes, you will pay more. Price comes with name in my opinion.

No, again that doesn't make any sense. You're saying they paid that amount because they think he's some domaining God? Not the more reasonable explanation, they wanted that domain, asked for a price, got a price and paid it. Most probably would have sold for less, but not everybody is in the same financial situation. It's like that meet.me sale, $450,000, most probably would have taken 5 figures for it or less.

Most of this is coming across as just hate/jealousy. He has a lot of domains, has a past history of success, still doing it today.

According to WHOIS this domain is not sold, at least as of now...
It is in Sedo's account...

Right, have to wait and see.

 

[Mr. Deleted]

Save your time. It is not worth it. Some here want to force to others their point of view with the phrase "if you know crypto currency." These "experts" love to live with illusions.

Bahaha. You must want to live with delusions then. Seriously, let it go. You can not make the world as pessimistic as you are.

 

[Mike Mann]

Great move on your part ! I had wondered if it was a "mind game " you timed it just right with the crypto market !

Like I said before I think you did quit well with the sales price and yes could have sold it for a bit more given more time , but there is nothing wrong with the profit you made here at all!! I would not have waited for another end -enduser either .Job well done and thanks for taking the time to respond to my question . Congratulations on the sale again !

And what better enduser could you have asked for than Binanace

bird in the hand is worth a few in the bush

 

[Mike Mann]

Now we know when you are negotiating on a domain

bring it on

 

[Mike Mann]

That's nonsense. If you think it's only worth $50, you have more studying to do. He might get more than most, simply because has asks for more.

he knows how to appraise domains properly

 

[Mike Mann]

The correct reason I was able to sell that particular name at that particular price is statistical likelihood, given I have 300,000 incredible .Com domains, many with high prices; the ones that hit good market timing hit good market price, randomly. And with the Trump economy and Bitcoin economy, there is extra cash at the moment for players to play. So I will sell tons of expensive domains just based on statistical likelihood. Nobody ever paid an extra cent thinking Im God I can assure you.

 

[DalexanderX]

No one should let this go to there heads. Mike has just carved a path for alot of us here like it or not. Binance is an excellent platform who saw a great opportunity and took it.

If you knew that the buyer is Binance would you raise the price for CryptoWorld.com?

 

[DalexanderX]

World.com

 

[-EM-]

Bahaha. You must want to live with delusions then. Seriously, let it go. You can not make the world as pessimistic as you are.

I'm very optimistic. The only delusion here is you talking about me. Again, that was the best you could come with?

 

[platey]

The gtld of this domain will be worth much more than this two word dot com

Eg

Crypto dot World

I bought a couple of dot world gtlds when they were first issued

Eg

Parcel dot world

But let that expire

Why didn't I buy

Crypto dot World

Lol

I remember that time then Parsel,World drops...
and for a long time no one registered it.

But Crypto,World was dropped in May last year.
Before that I hand-registered Crypto.Life and Coin.Life just for $1.99 each.

I also tried to hand-register Crypto,World but someone registered it using API.

Most likely I know who it was.
crypto,world also was $1.99

 

[DalexanderX]

If you knew that the buyer is Binance would you raise the price for CryptoWorld.com?

Alot of factors. But for 2018 I think this is just the start. So as time goes on the price go's up.

Those 3 gtlds etc are worth a mansion lol

But if you went in to an estate agent or a shop that sells real estate property
And said I'd like to buy that $1m property to the sales person etc

The sales person would say how do you intend to pay for it etc

At which point you ask the sales person for a blank piece of paper to whicker the sales person looks puzzled but gives you a blank piece of paper etc

And on that blank piece of paper you proceed to write

And you write those two crypto coin gtlds on the piece of paper and you say I will swap that $1m house for for these two gtld domains

At which point the salesperson busts in to uncontrollable laughter

Many a fool has turned down a good quality domain by not understanding its value

Their incompetence is a problem its not our eg domain name investors problem etc

You've done extremely well with them if you sit on them for a few years

 

[New.Life]

Alot of factors.

The Real factor is - If I knew that @Mike Mann already have an offer for CryptoWorld.com I would tell him in advance who the buyer is, on January 14, about 11 PM US Eastern time. ...before he sold his domain.

So all those followers here who claim this domain is worth $195,000, care to explain why out of all sales that is the only domain with crypto (as based on namebio) that sold over $100,000? https://namebio.com/index.php?keyword=crypto

The hype may be in crypto, but it sure doesn't make any sense of why other domains that are arguably better than cryptoworld.com sell for much less.
The hype is in Mike Mann, so many people here are saying "I wish I was like him", "He's so cool".. Well guess what? Companies take advantage of that, and when they do buy a domain from "The lord and savior of domaining Mike Mann", everyone speaks about it and the company gets a nice surge of traffic to the domain, and word gets out whom purchased it.

He's literally selling domains like "RenewableFuture.com" for $20,000 and other domains for prices that make you question this industry.

Crypto has hype, but the hype that got him this sale is in his name. I want to hear if any of guys had any luck selling a domain 10x better than this, and if you got anywhere close to $195,000? Let me guess, 0.3% of the people on here probably did so and those people are the ones who are viewed as the "Lords of Domaining".

What crypto domain do you own that is better than CryptoWorld?

And to me it sounds absurd to think a company would happy to pay Mike Mann a lot more than anyone else just so they can receive niche traffic for a few weeks from the domaining community. (no one else cares)

CryptoRate sold for 100k. To me CryptoWorld is a better name that should command 2x the price of CryptoRate.

I think people are just too full of envy and jealousy to give credit where it is due.

My advice would be to quit hating and try to learn from people who do better than you do.

If anything Mann has raised the prices for everyone's crypto names with this sale, so most should probably thank him.

CryptoRate isn't worth 100k, but it's worth more than CryptoWorld without a doubt.
Also, when did following someone ever get you anywhere? Tell me when you sold a good domain for $195,000? Chances are you probably haven't, wonder why? Because you're following the so called "lead domainers" and registering/buying the type of domains they have registered, but having no success selling it for the prices those "lead domainers" are selling theirs for.

There name is what makes the domain worth more and receive huge popularity on discussions.
If Bill Gates for example purchased "cryptogreatdomain.com", I wouldn't doubt that he'd be able to sell the domain in the $XX,XXX - $XXX,XXX mark, because people are buying it for the name and value Bill Gates puts on it, and then it'll generate a large discussion and the domain will get a lot of traffic.

[cipcip]

It's all about statistics. I bet you that if no one will speak about him for a year, he will not get 1 sale. And I mean no one from the whole internet, not just this forum.
