Domain name investor George Kirikos has just published a series of tweets that seems to suggest that the domain name Angie.com sold for $300,000 in 2014.
The data that George discovered in an SEC filing by Angie's List shows that the company paid $300,000 for a domain name, classed as "other intangible assets" on page sixty-eight of the SEC filing.
Thanks for research from Mr Kirikos, the data seems to suggest that the $300,000 domain name is likely to be Angie.com, since WHOIS data for Angie.com seems to match up with dates within the SEC filing.
According to DomainIQ data, Angie.com moved to privacy protection in 2014, where it stayed until March 2016 when Angie's List started to show as the domain's owner. The domain had previously been sold in 2007 for $18,000.
Angie's List is a US based business reviews website that had revenues of over $300 million in 2015.
Although the domain Angie.com is listed as being owned by Angie's List, it forwards to an Indian fashion website, which is an odd move by the company. The domain name is managed by brand protection firm Lexsynergy.
The $300,000 price tag ranks Angie.com as one of the largest first-name .COM sales of all time according to NameBio, beating names such as Amber.com and Alice.com.
