If it's too good to be true, then...

Now this looks to have been sold by Mike Carson the owner of Park.io, the nameservers are showing CSC Corporate domains so this is probably a big company who made the purchase here.

NickB · Feb 25, 2019

possibly a company in the Nuclear fuel sector? MOX Fuel is a thing and there is a lot of money in this area.

There is a company called MoxMe, but unsrue if they are big enough for this type of purchase

But my money is on........https://mobileonlyx.com

Be interesting to see where it ends up

So now I expect at least $299 - 1% of this sale for MOX.XYZ

Write them a email & sell to them for $2999

There are many companies and organizations using Mox so it will be interesting to see which secured the domain name. My personal guess might be the Mox Creative Studios or the co-sharing group currently operating at TheMox in .co. Of course there are many (I found several dozen without much effort) of possibilities including a cryptocurrency organization. The most obvious general meaning of the word is in the nuclear industry, so there is an outside chance of a fuel processing company, but I doubt that.

I think that when the huge global bike company Lime rebranded to Li.me it caused more to consider the domain extension for serious company use as the main website, and not simply a use built on the 'me' idea. They changed from LimeBike.com to simply Li.me (still use their old .com for a redirect).

This sale of Mox is the 11th highest on NameBio for the extension, although the highest price of a NameBio announced sale in just under 6 years. It is well below the highest sale ever in the extension, $450,000 for meet.me back in 2011. In the past year (NameBio data at least) .me domain names hae sold 153 times with average $1158. Relative to number of .me for sale a decent showing, average price similar to .com ($1176 for same time period).

I look forward to seeing who the end user is.

PS Can I express a pet peeve of mine. It REALLY

bothers me on NPs when people immediately question legitimacy of sales without any stated evidence. If there is reason to that is one thing, but to say oh it's a high price is it legitimate or even worse as some here (not on this thread, yet) say it is a fake sale. It is hurtful to authentic buyers, sellers and users of the domain name to even see comments like that. If your niece or nephew just got their highest mark ever in Math, would your immediate reaction be "Oh must be a mistake" or "Oh did you cheat?" I don't think so, so why is it so common on NPs? So can we hold off on questioning legitimacy of every big sale please! I do realize the OP was somewhat mixed in tone, but by starting of "This is a joke or what?" Let's say your organization just paid the $29,999, you obviously researched the name carefully with marketing models, you do a Google search to see what the domain world is saying, you see the start of this thread? How would you feel?
Sorry for the rant, sort of.

A no problem Bob - yes i have my question's if is a legit sale of course because must be proved , from my point of view can be sell with 1mil a domain but some people (or companies) sell domains at highe price to a "buyer" just for impression , advertising if you like & turn to be a fake sale
I don't put in question Park .io (here) but...as say Ron ( DNJournal) must by verify ...

Hmmmm as i am a dilema right now with Manhattan.info did actually sold with 7k in january or the person who buy the domain from me with 1k - make a ilegit sale put on some one else to buy it with 7k on SEDO?! On whois show same owner start from i sold with 1k

The last part of what you mentioned Bob happens for a lot of reasons, sometimes sales are fake, some just don't like or can't comprehend a name that might be nowhere near as valuable as a domain they own selling for so much.

But there are so many unpaid and fake, hype false sales that people are always going to post things like that, I don't see it changing.

Now I see Park.io liked your post, so Mike could post how the sale came about, CSC is not working with a small Mom and Pop so it should be a company everyone knows.

You are a wise voice and probably right, but I guess my rant was my little effort for us to save the claim for when there is real evidence that a sale is indeed questionable. Like it it was a crazy word combination in a private sale not on NameBio or DNJournal without any obvious end users in sight, that is one thing. Just because a name sells for much more than recent similar sales does not mean it is fake.

When we throw words like "is it legitimate" and "fake" too readily it means that when there are situations where they should be applied all impact is lost.

And as my rant tried to stress, we HURT people and organizations by posting them. The evidence should be strong before anyone does that.

I have given many (tens of thousands?) of likes on NPs and only a few dislikes. Almost all of the latter are when one individual (not active in this thread) throws around 'fake' without any evidence in the least, and in fact when evidence of legitimate sales are overwhelming. I dislike those posts because they are not only untrue but hurtful and harmful.

Anyway, please everyone, think carefully before you say "is it authentic" or "fake". Do I really have any evidence? Am I unfairly hurting an organization, including NPs, without evidence.

Sorry for extended rant.

Bob

Thank you. I did note that your post did express it might, or might not, be authentic and did not use word fake. As I said it has bothered me for some time on NPs. I just finally moved to actually respond to it. I do not know anything about the buyer (except what posted here) or seller and it will be interesting to see an end use as we come to know more.

Have a nice day.

Hope is in the AIR!!
Big Sales to Come for Hard Working Domain Investors, keep Domaining!!

I have CEOs.me for $50 lol
or even for $10..

dande · Feb 25, 2019

The sale is outrageous for a .me. But then, people make outrageous sales in this industry everyday

Josh R · Feb 26, 2019

Great sale.

The domain however is not so great. The company that bought it probably spends 30k on coffee every month so it’s all perspective.

It’s kind of like paying $1 million USD for a 2 bedroom apartment in Detroit because you fancy the girl next door. Everyone has their reasons for doing silly things.

Trevor Swett · Feb 26, 2019

Good point.

Also, I believe Marriott International has a trademark on Moxy--one of their up and coming hotel brands. Perhaps the similarity enhances value based on keyword search?

.me MOX.me $ 29999 ??!?
