Just sold BullionBlocks.com for $8,000.

26,600% Profit!

Beat that S&P! and NASDAQ!

Registered 2016-12-09 less than 4 years.

3 years of renewals = $30


I still have similar domains that this company might need. PM me if interested.

The company is BullionBlock which makes sense them buying BullionBlocks.com.

They are a cryptocurrency company.

They do not own BullionBlock.com. I'll assume the owner of that domain is in for a nice payday someday. Congrats to them.

The term "Bullion Block" has been around since before cryptocurrency.

Offer began at $500 then $3,000 and finally $8,000.

My asking was $10,000. I think the final sold price was a fair price given the comps.

Could I have gotten more? Give your answer in the comments.

What does this sale mean?

With all my sales like below. It indicates that I own domains people want and will pay good money for (above $1000) So...............logic dictates that if I have domains people are willing to pay ABOVE $1,000 then surely at my upcoming auctions a bid of $5 to $69 to $99 or even $250 is a GOOD IDEA.

CoinMena.com $25,000
PaladineDrones.com $8,000
WhoaTime.com $5,000
FleetBeacon.com $800 (Could have gotten way more. I was an idiot. FleetBeacons.com I still own. want it?)
360Sand.com $8,000

I have a ton of exact match domain names like below. (Domains modified for good reason)


Iotanium.com
TapBio.com
SegmentRouting.com
MMSIOT.com
IOTMMS.com
URiverCruises.com
BitSuisse.com

They seem to have missed a couple if they plan to target "Asia" and "Europe". They have corporate offices in Hong Kong, UK, Australia, and US.

I wish you all the best of luck in your own dealings. May you and your family and friends stay safe and healthy during coronavirus.

PM me and questions. Thanks.

UPDATE.

It seems I probably could have asked for more for this domain.

It also seems that the new owner of this domain is not BullionBlock the blockchain company. or I could be wrong.

What I do know is they really should have their tech guys change the nameserver for BullionBlocks.com lol

The new registrant for this domain is Aurum Management. Website is Aurum.com

have a look and let me know your thoughts and opinions in the comments. here's mine.

I don't really care if I could have gotten more than $8,000 for this domain.

A domainer should never sell a domain at a price that if he found out later it sold for double or 5 or 10 times more that he'll jump off a cliff the next day.

This really should ultimately decide the price of a domain sold in the aftermarket.

Always sell at a price that you won't care how much it sold later. That way you can sleep better at night.

At $8,000 I can sleep well and peacefully.

Exactly - it is what it is.......8k is a good price - would of been very hard to equate this domain to that company, I could not see anything on their site that would suggest any interest......

Edit:

I did not sign up and check any specific funds though.....

BullionBlock supposedly has a TM. I've checked and I can't find it on Wipo.int and USPTO.gov. So at best or at worst BullionBlock is simply an unregistered trademark.

Next. BullionBlock does not own BullionBlock.com if there is a cybersquatting case on BullionBlock.com I haven't found it yet.

Plus BullionBlocks.com was registered on 2016-12-09. Prior to the company ever launching.

If unregistered trademark ultimately it falls on the domainer to make the first mistake and contacting the company BullionBlock and trying to sell them any "BullionBlock" domains. It's an immediate sign of a "bad faith" registration. You could "try" to contact the unregistered TM holder. It would be pretty ballzy. I personally wouldn't. trust me you won't sleep at night wondering if some lawyer will send you a letter soon lol.

and finally Trademarks as someone who has registered a trademark have what's called "Goods and Services"

for each trademark you have to specific the Goods and Services label you want associated with your Mark.

In the case of "Bullion Block" yea there is now a company using it. But it's for Gold and Blockchain.

But "Bullion Blocks" have been around way before Blockchain.

Bullion Blocks are these heat resistant blocks used by the Gold manufacturing industry to process gold into whateve shapes they want like Bullion Blocks or ingots.

So that company Bullion Block would be hard pressed to prove they can exclusively own the trademark "Bullion Block" when clearly there are examples online the prove otherwise.

...............

to be perfectly honest? This was the target customer for this particular domain. These above.

BullionBlock as a domain for a blockchain company was purely coincidental and lucky.


This is what I was expecting in the reply. Thank you for explaining this case, I really appreciate it. And last night I was the one who didn't sleep thinking about this case/sale. Now I can say that I understand this sale better than yesterday. Thanks alot for explaining, this will definitely help me as a beginner in this business.
And Congrats again @WhoaDomain.com, enjoy !

Congrats on the sale, but remember you have to account for all the domains you don't sell in a year, not just the ones you do sell.

Congrats on the sale. However, I feel the buyer will wished that they had signed a NDA with you. Namepros is top notch with their SEO and their Google Page Rank is pretty high so when the owner or anyone googles bullionblocks.com, this thread pops up on the first page results. Finding out that you've spent $30 on the domain that they paid $8k for won't feel good either. Just my opinion and I think it might affect future sales on your marketplace as potential buyers don't want to be your trophy sale.

It might also make buyers more aware that an NDA is an option which is of course not free.

If a buyer really wants a domain and mentions this thread as a bargaining chip of sorts then it just tells me how much they want the domain. That only works in my favor. So win win.

So this thread helps to filter out "tire kickers".

I'm a glass is half full kind of guy. Can't worry about the tsunami or earthquake or atomic bomb that may or may not happen tomorrow.

I worry about putting food on the table for me and my family today.

I'll worry about what you said when it happens.

Let me worry my business. I don't jump into anything without planning. Everything and anything has been accounted for. No sinking ships here but thanks for the concern. Much appreciated. Best of luck to you my friend.

Stay safe and healthy.

Great price for a confusingly similar domain.

lol. I'm always fascinated by the human compulsion to care what other people do with their time and money and business.

Don't get me wrong. Curiosity is a human gift and curse from the Almighty.

reminds me when I use to live in the Burbs and neighbors would gossip about each other like how dumb they were for building a pool in an area prone to flooding.

I'm all for constructive criticism but me? I keep to my own yard and mind my own business. If someone wants to waste money building a pool in low lying country with no trees for miles. let them learn on their own.

why waste brain space wondering how smart or dumb their move is?

unless you care enough to go out your way to reach out and advise them on their folly why even bother thinking "smart or dumb"?

"Smart or dumb?" The question is moot really. If it's not my money why should I care?

imo

Also just wanted to give thanks to @James Iles for mentioning this thread in the thread below.

https://www.namepros.com/blog/top-t...00-the-august-domain-industry-report.1209123/

Paying it forward!

Aurum.com was not bought your domain. I have talked to CTO and he confirmed that.

hmmm then who is Aurum Management LLC? The plot thickens! dum dum dum! lol

doesn't matter a sale is a sale.

I did see another company just now. and I guess I was wrong. but I think I'm done figuring out who the final recipient of this domain is. just thankful for the sale and I wish the new owner good luck. what I will say is that I did not even realize I had way better domains than BullionBlocks.com in the "bullion category" like

BullionEurope.com
BullionSuisse.com
BullionSwitzerland.com
BullionATM.com
