If you look at his post on page one he said he said his bid of $30,000 didn't win it and the owner was asking $220,000.

$30k buyer got a bargain.

You see some mid/high 6 figure sales on here, even 7 and think "how the hell did that domain sell for that?" can't speak for everyone else, but if 1 day i saw Bonjour dot com sold for 7 figures, it wouldn't surprise me.

I haven't read any of the comments above ,but the fact that it was sold on flippa and not ebay,there is no way it sold for that ,The domain is worth 100k plus

Oops, I missed that. I just removed the record entirely, if there was actually at sale at any level Flippa or one of the parties can report it manually. It is too unclear what happened, the listing says sold by negotiation and says bidding ended at $220, bid history shows one bid at $30k and nothing at $220 for some reason, but the negotiated price might be an entirely different number. I miss Kevin Fink being at Flippa, lol.

The way this auction's outcome was handled it can be called a "floppa".

Damn, means my bonjr.com isn't worth much then!

That seems money laundering to me..!!

The actual deal took place offline. This is just the documented price for the Government..!!

The actual deal might be for $50k or more.

You may not be far from the truth.

Cheers, Sherlock.

Hopefully if/when the final situation becomes clear someone will update this thread. I see that the publicly available part of the Whois continues to show no recent (since July) change.

30k ???? wow what a deal

Equivalent to someone buying Hello for 30k - if it happened the seller was an moron.

I don't usually use strong language but he would have left an awful lot of money on the table.

Do we know that it actually sold? I thought, possibly incorrectly, that all we know is that a $30k offer was made, that was below reserve, Flippa show at end a highest bid of $220 but along with a statement that it sold in a post auction negotiation. Michael pulled the record from NameBio since we don't actually know for sure it sold and if it did what it sold for. Am I wrong that this is all we know now?

Tracy Fogarty of eNaming was the broker of this name only a few months ago.

Leaving aside the language peculiarities, I fully agree in essence. The BONJOUR word is highly recognizable worldwide, no matter what language one speaks. It's an extremely strong potential brand.

But on the positive side, this is at least not $220

P.S. And indeed, we still have no idea whether the sale has actually happened.

I don't usually use strong language but I thought the definition fit quite well.

I was especially referring to the DUNCE part of the definition.

Assuming it happened of course.

That was actually just a bit of subtle irony, I don't consider your language that strong at all

thats the kinda name that you look at in an auction and you look at the price and you say.....
MUST be mis spelled.

The truth comes out sooner or later.
There are only two answers.
Either it's sold for 220k or the owner found a way to pull it out the market.

220K seems like the logical explanation. and a flippa glitch which shows 220K as 220.

Flippa sold 5 digit domains thrice in 2018.
gab.com 220,000 USD 2018-09-12
strength.com 300,001 USD 2018-08-15
soulmate.com 160,000 USD 2018-02-27

None of those seem to be glitchy. But then Bonjour is french, the buyer may be french (and french use "." as thousands separator, instead of "," )

Does not look like money laundering to me, at least buyer is apparently veteran. He even quoted a counter offer of $220,000 to a bidder of $30,000. So seller had the $220,000 price as floor price, when reserve was $250,000.

Either a glitch marked the domain listing falsely sold
or
a glitch displayed wrong price for a domain sold for $220,000
