sales Cars.com is the largest domain sale in history

[lennco]

Cars.com has been confirmed to have been the largest domain sale in history, with a staggering $872,320,000 dollar valuation.

If anyone doubted the $872 million valuation of the Cars.com domain name, see first paragraph of page 80 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1683606/000119312517167603/d553683ds1.htm

DomainGang has satire and real news.

This story is not satire since it shows "This post is 100% True!" at the bottom.

DomainGang.com covers domain industry, social media and technology news; the approach being two-fold:

• Parody domain news that follow the tongue-in-cheek humor of The Onion, and
• Real domain news that are presented with a “100%” image at the bottom.

DomainGang blocks access to its site from services like Tor.

Do I have to pay money to access it?

It's free. You need to use a different ISP or IP address.

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

5trilliondollardomain.com

Then why it is not registered?

In my own view; and based on the publication; the domain was sold for $872M. The domain worth that much, because they could not afford to do away with the domain - cars.com. If they try to do away with the domain in question; they would jeopardize the buying of the entire company.

Do you know if that property - cars.com was not among the entire property; the price of the company sale would not be as high as $2.5 billion dollars.

Domain name price must be influenced by a particular inherent value and that was why cars.com was sold for that amount - $872M. The entire company's property includes the Cars.com and that was why they could not do away with Cars.com, the domain had contributed a lot of values to the business as well, you know that.

So that is my appraisals logic behind the domain name.

Congratulation to both sides for the sale of Cars.com

Although the headline of this thread is already nonsense, ('domain sale') here is another so called 'domain sale' (nothing other than a company sale, including the domain) which is even higher than cars.com:

$3.3 B USD for the 'domain' (company) jet.com

Forbes

So the 'domain sale' (hahaha) of jet.com ($3.3 B USD) was $0.8 B USD higher than the 'domain sale' (hahaha) of cars.com ($2.5 B USD).

So the point is to find out which is / are really the highest domain/s in history.

@KINGOF.TOP Thanks for the reference. Cheers

mingche.com "luxury car " in Chinese pinyin sold for over $2.5 million - just the name-no site. Some of these "car" related names can bring big money.

QC.com was marketed for over a year by GoDaddy - QiChe.com sold for $2,000,000 and Che.com sold for $3,000,000 ... QC.com recently sold by George for an undisclosed amount, I can tell you it was more then $1M but under $3M

Trade name =/= domain name

Here it just happens to be that they used trade name that COINCIDED with domain name.

I have a company that uses Domain name as its name. If I sell that company, it does not mean I sold the domain name for that price.
