It sold for $30K which is rather good for a french domain name.

Somebody's got to tell the namebio's guy he's a member here on name Pros.

 

[TRY]

Oh, strong namebio staff, you kept mention the name had to remain strong to figure out what you were talking about. Mr. @strong can you fix this thread?

Grill said he hasn't logged in a while and to try @Michael

 

[vast]

Thank you Michael for confirming the actual price and updating the sales report!
That proves that simple explanations are usually the most likely ones.

 

[TRY]

Fixed, thanks for the heads up. The bid history clearly shows $30,000 so that's the price I put. Their recently sold feed still shows $220 though, I guess there's a glitch in their system:

Now i think it would be very good if the Admins change the thread title... So that the wrong info born by pure mistake would not stay in the G cache for too long. As it could harm the new owner, the future sales, etc.

I had done a past deal on Flippa, Where me & buyer agreed for other amount but I put the low bin on that name. My buyer simply hit that BIN & later paid me the amount on which we have agreed.

But it's very risky! What if the buyer won't honor the second part of the deal? You risk loosing either domain or your Flippa account.

$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.

 

[ben pedri]

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

 

[ShenleyAvenue]

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

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.

30k ???? wow what a deal

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?

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

 

[toughdomains]

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

 

[Shailendra Mishra]

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
