[Bob Hawkes]

I don't know how I did not think to check this before. The name was registered from 2015 to 2019 according to HosterStats, so maybe it is indeed not a registry sale. It dropped and deleted on April 1.

Someone, apparently more on the ball than either @NameDeck or me and on April Fool's Day, it would appear, registered it then, and then managed to sell it on Sedo in less than two weeks.

Now, there is still the possibility that when it deleted the registry took it over and they are the seller.

But I am no longer sure either way.

If a domainer, someone made a huge ROI.

Bob

PS It beats out one.space, that sold for $6000 last month, for second highest .space sale in NameBio (here is full list). The top sale was air.space at $17,500. The $$$$ space sales record is still rarefied!

Plausible. Now all I have to do is find a way to kick myself in the butt.

 

[iAdam]

16 days? What about an inside job, someone work for them registered and then sold it to them

 

[NameShiba]

I just came to realise... The name was registered on April fool's... The plot thickens

*dun dun dun*

 

[NameShiba]

I registered 0000.space to jump in on this .space

Best of wishes.

Never regret your high prices for domains.

 

[iKhalyfah]

Whatever, it was overpaid for!

 

[sharastar]

Whatever, it was overpaid for!

Guys I just think overpaid is not a biggie if it fits the buyers budget for the Name.

 

[iKhalyfah]

Of course they wouldn't have paid if they didn't have the budget.

I'm just speaking from "domaining" point of view

That makes absolutely no sense from a "domaining" point of view.

They're in officesspaces. For a nice spot, big enough, $8K is like what? 1 month rent? That money is easily recouped. I wouldn't say it's overpaid for the right buyer, which it seems they are.

 

[Dave]

In all fairness any domain is truly only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. That is why collective.space sold for $8000, because someone was willing to pay that much.

Domainers can often fall into a trap of analyzing tld, length, word count, pronunciation, search volume and more, but at the end of the day these values only serve to increase the likelihood and ROI of any potential domain sale.

There are many great domains that have been parked or for sale for years that haven't found a buyer. Just look at Sedo and you'll find premium one word .com's that have been there for a long time.

What I'm trying to say is, it isn't just about the quality, its about whether there is someone out there who wants your domain and is willing to pay the asking price.

Let's not forget that domaining at a retail level is speculative. Don't fool yourselves into thinking there are any guarantees in this industry.

 

[Bob Hawkes]

So much sense in what @Dave just wrote. I think I like to analyze various parameters as much as anyone, but ultimately, as he correctly points out, that is just part of the equation of success. Ultimately, without an eager buyer, many great names go unsold.

I would just interpret this as it is critical to, the degree possible, try to think, not as a domainer, but try to think like an end user.

And we should all have the following printed above wherever we do domaining!

Thanks, as always, for your wise, clearly expressed, comments, Dave.

Thanks Bob, much appreciated.

The reason domaining has pros and successful investors is the same reason poker has pros and successful players. There are simply those who are better at reading the game.

That doesn't make the nature of what we're doing any less speculative.

Thanks

 

[lock]

I have advertised dot space and another dropped a few might hold on to these a while.

 

[ET76]

I found something interesting, it seems a similar domain was also sold at Sedo.

Congrats to the buyer and seller!

 

[enterscope]

I like the name Collective.Space and think it was a fair end-user price.

 

[manpreet]

Let's try to unpick this one then, shall we.

1) What is a Collective Space

Collective Spaces, are spaces not restricted to single individual use only (including individual persons or individual groups), but that accommodate or support broader users both in number and in type and variety. They are shared or co-inhabited by larger amounts of social entities, both human and nonhuman actants: people, domains, objects and concerns of different nature. (Ref)

As examples these could be local parks where people get together to exercise or collaborative spaces where people work together.

In other words, collective space is where people come together to engage in an activity.

These could be both in a physical sense (Incubators/Accelerators hubs, WeWork & Meetup.com), but also in a virtual sense (like online chatrooms, online groups and forums)

2) Current environment

In the current environment, where the social activities are heavily limited, with social distancing in place in most countries, this means that the "real world" collective spaces are currently not an option for people to join and engage.

With many people struggling with social isolation and loneliness, there's been a rise in "virtual" based offerings to bring people together (Like DN Academy and weekly Friday Zoom calls, or other activity/shared interest themed online catchups)

3) So what? Why has Collective.Space sold, and what it could be used for?

Well, reading the above, there are number of possible use cases.

a) an acquisition by a company currently using Collective Space in their name.(quite a few of them)
b) a new upcoming company which is either going to create a collective space proposition in the physical or virtual environment
c) an architecture firm specialising in urban architecture and landscape design

The name speaks for itself, for what it delivers, and in most cases it won't need any explanation.

In a situation where most of the world is currently online, bored af, the creative domain will help the brand stand out.

As far as I'm concerned, if this was purchases by an end user, at $8,000 it was a steal.

Just my 2c (I could be completely wrong), but hope it provided some clarity.

Al

Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Meldy Edwin]

Nice name for .space

How about my coCreator(.space)...?

 

[ixex]

thanks for sharing, can someone explain why

Collective.space 8k?

xpj777 5k?

xpj777 5k? Exactly what the heck is that?

 

[Robson1]

Thank you for sharing.

 

[Zilla]

Someone with Chinese market knowledge should explain what's xpj777 stands for.

don't think it worth 5k, but the name itself must be related with casino in this case...xpj = 新葡京 （xin pu jing in Pinyin）u can copy and search it....
