I honestly no longer believe in any high value sales, because based on my domainer experience I had 5K sale highest, highest 20K offer, but I put it based on my sales and not the offers, so till I not have a big sale for me this are fake sales, no matter what extension is there.

The buyer is a liar
How much do you think he paid for it?

Thanks for sharing @silentg

I think domaining is already dead; it's not a business or trading anymore, but rather more like a hobby.

Try offering end users your domains at registration price, and you'll be surprised that no one needs them. This applies to all except top domains like crypto.com.

Maybe they have interest for sharing such inflated prices, to attract more clients or to influence domainers.

There is still some interest but I feel not from the end users, but rather other domainers, brokers or even registrar workers. I recently got an 2K offer on a domain through a registrar, the full name of the inquirer reminded me of those who work there. If you ask me who, I tell you Ukrainians, now go check which registrar is this.

I was also contacted by end users, most come with 100$ offers for great one of a kind domains which, easy can fetch over 40000$, they tell they can't afford, in conclusion, have no idea what is going on and how those crap of domains sell for so much, when I hold the foundations of the digital world.

It's a good single word .com.

The sales price is not a big surprise.

What a bunch of loser talk.

Great Wired sale. congrats to both buyer and seller
What always fascinates me about domain investing is how pricing can vary so widely depending on the lens you use. Take corgi.com as an example:

Platform	Estimated Value (USD)

GoDaddy

$23,535

ATOM

$441,000

Dynadot

$65,397

DNRater

$227,720

This kind of spread really highlights something important: automated valuations are just reference points—not market truth. End-user demand, brandability, emotional appeal (especially with something as universally loved as “corgi”), and timing often matter far more than any algorithm.

That’s why we sometimes see domains with sub-$100 automated estimates trade in strong 4–6 figures. It’s less about “logic” in a traditional sense, and more about matching the right asset with the right buyer at the right moment.

As investors, we’re all trying to find that balance between data and intuition—and hopefully land those high-ROI moments over time.

Curious to hear how others here weigh automated valuations vs. real market demand.

I don't trust these at all, they are all useless.

Saw.com estimates Corgi.com at $1 million.

Saw.com estimates Corgi.com at $1 million.

A domain can sell for any price, if the probability is low enough.

The probability of that price range is extremely low.

You can buy way better .com for much lower prices.

I agree , there's more probability of finding a precious stone in underground Sea (if you can risk your life) rather than selling your domain, but it's common till AI bubble bursts again , a new tld will emerge drawing back all interest from domainers again.

Is Corgi a dictionary word or a first name?
I see there is a dog race called Welsh Corgi Pembroke.

At least this domain cannot be a random 5L name, being registered since late 1994.

However, a fine milestone for pronounceable non-dictionary LLLLLs where you often think they must be worthless junk. Just wait a few years and harvest. Maybe.

Dog owners don't say Welsh Corgi Pembroke. They simply say Corgi. It's a popular breed, at least where I live.

Yeah, it's also a good term for a brand as well.

It's an intelligent breed with connections to royalty.

Incredible sale! Corgi.com is a perfect example of why single-word .com domains with emotional resonance command such premiums. The buyer likely saw the massive brand potential — think pet e-commerce, lifestyle brands, or even children's content. What's interesting is that short, memorable names across all TLDs are rising. I'm watching .AI domains very closely right now — brandable 3-letter .AI names are moving fast as every tech startup wants an AI-native identity. The market for premium shorts is far from saturated.

 

[xwat]

It's a good single word .com.

The sales price is not a big surprise.

Brad

I think it is a fantastic name. Short, pronounceable, fun to say and should make people happy as their initial thought.

Really?
This is a very well known dog breed, perhaps because some relatively unknown Lady favored them for almost all of my life and probably yours as well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_corgis
https://christchurchdailyphoto.com/2007/09/29/corgis-on-high-street/

It is a pronounceable 5 character domain name with a meaning and history. I honestly feel $120,000 K may be a little low.
