.com 63 character domain name sold for $800..

[Arpit131]

The domain name containing 63 9's .COM sold for $800 on GoDaddy.

Here's a screenshot:

I am still wondering who are such buyers and why do they buy such names?

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

I’m just wondering why, when the sale was first announced, you pretended that you did not know the details behind the sale:

“Seems that there is something big going on behind the daily business.”

This was a general statement which is based on the fact that this sale is very uncommon, at least yet.
I can guarantee you that the first time I heard from this sale was here at nP by @Arpit131's opening post.

“Smart move / domain, indeed.”

Here I referred to @HotKey's domain
999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.one
which he obviously (WHOIS) registered (as reaction?) on the same day when this thread started.
Again, this domain is a smart domain / reaction.

And you claimed that:

“Every 63.DOMAIN sale helps indirectly also all those which are also owning / offering a 63.DOMAIN for sale.
63.DOMAINS are the 'highest possible niche’.”

Yes, and?
Thats fact and I think thats understandable.
Like every .whatever sale helps every .whatever domainer and like every domain sale helps every domainer indirect.
Yes, 63.DOMAINS are indeed the 'highest possible niche'.

However, after @dordomai revealed that:

“WHOIS shows an address that is the same as the one listed in Kingof.top domains WHOIS.”

You replied that:

“One of my family members bought this domain.”

Yes, my reply was just minutes after I realized that one of my family members bought it.

So you were trying to say that this sale will have a positive impact on the “63 letter domains” niche, including all of your own 63 letter domains, when in fact you knew it was your relative who bought the domain? That's misleading, and I don't understand what you and your brother/nephew/uncle are trying to achieve here.

I am not 'trying to say' anything, I say what I say.
It more seems like you are trying to say something, I don't know what you want to say at the end.
It's good to be critical, but you can be sure, these are the facts.
And I say it again - I am convinced, that this sale will have a positive Impact on 63.DOMAINS, yes including also my owns of course.
It doesnt make any difference who sold / bought a domain when the deal is real.
And this deal was real*.

HISTORY
> The buyer paid the sum to the seller.
> A nP member noticed that GD deal (before I noticed it) and opened a nP thread about it.
> And I noticed his thread.
> And react to it.
> Like you.

*Like me, I am real too. And 63.DOMAINS are real too.

What I (I am I) want to 'achieve' (to use your term) here, is, that other domainers, in this case you, stay open minded to 63.DOMAINS - but don't feel 'misleaded' (?) - you are free to follow or not.
If 63.DOMAINS and related sales are to heavy / shocking for you, you should stay away from them.
63.DOMAINS are JUST ANOTHER LEVEL in my eyes.
As I said, there is something going on behind the daily biz.

Your family member buying a 63 letter domain does not have any implications for this niche. It just means that there are two 63 letter domain investors in your household. It is not the sign of a broader trend, since your relative bought it because you have influenced him to start investing in 63 letter domains.

What I was pointing out above, is that that your family member buying a domain with 63 letters, and you hyping it up as being a big deal for the 63 letter domain niche (even though you knew it was bought by your relative), is rather questionable.

There are many 63 character domain owned by complete foreign domainers, worldwide.
It was not the first sale of a 63 character domain name.
And it will not be the last one

Sry, but what you are saying ('influenced him') is just your theory.

I was not hyping it up.
I even was not starting this thread.
But, as an owner of many 63.DOMAINS, I naturally react to it.
And, again, I realized that it was bought by a member of my family* at the time I start reading this thread.

* And? So what?
It doesn't make any difference.
Deal is deal and a 63 character domain deal is a 63 character domain deal.
At the end I have NOTHING to do with this deal - it's just a great thing for me and for all who own / offer 63.DOMAINS

 

[elevator]

It is just a record; it could be written in the guinness book of record of domainers that someone bought the longest domain ever. Period.

Has there been any other 63 letter domain sales recorded in the past?

Sry Sir, I am not your search agent.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

Nonsense.
There is no 'one longest' domain.
There are a Limit of 63 characters - so there are many 'longest'.

 

[Arca]

Sry Sir, I am not your search agent.

According to namebio, this is the first and only 63 letter domain sale to date.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

According to namebio, this is the first and only 63 letter domain sale to date.

I see, thx - but at the other side, it is said, that the most sales are private / not reported - so I am sure there are more.
Also, namebio is just one platform which publish sales.
I think, SEDO can help too

 

[Arca]

I see, thx - but at the other side, it is said, that the most sales are private

Lets not make assumptions about past sales, when there is nothing to back up these assumption. Due to the absence 63 letter domains on namebio, this stands as the first and largest 63 letter domain sale to date.

What's his asking price for 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.com?

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

There will 100 % be higher sales.
I see this deal just as a 'beginning' of a radical 'change' in domaining history (although it has began already).

[Arca]

Aren't you and him 63 letter domain business partners?

Every domainer sets his own prices for his own domains.

On a serious note!

If it is nonsense, please could you please educate us on the value of 63 Ns and Ls in the market so I can learn from the experience; since we are here to learn and sell domains.

 

[doubleU]

It's possible in the not so distant future that 'typing' will become redundant to voice command.

That being the case then 63 domains may have a very bright future !

When using our keyboards we are restrained to a set limit of key strokes but with voice command this number can grow to accommodate a much larger set of commands and shortcuts. Our browsers will have the ability to translate 'special' voice commands that don't exist in the ASCII character set we currently rely on.

One such command could be a 'MAX' command that will inform our browsers to fill our address bar with the 'MAX' number of specified keywords to easily navigate us to '63 websites. For this to happen, '63/MAX domains will have to be giving special precedence/recognition in 'Voice Command' browsers but with all the marketing about 63 domains of late this may very well happen.

So, lets say the voice command 'MAX top' might be enough to auto-fill the address bar with :

toptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptop.top

It's a bit of the wall but I do tend to think outside the box.
