NYTIMES: Domain Names Are Big Again March 1, 2004

The dot-com gold rush may be over, but territorial claims can still be valuable. Dot-com domain names are fetching respectable prices again, after more than three years of attracting scant interest. Names like Truck.com, Beef.com and others have recently sold for more than $100,000, according to Domain Name Journal, a trade publication, while Web sites like Men.com, which offers a dating service, and sites selling pornography like Whitehouse.com are crossing the million-dollar threshold.

Save the article if you want it, NYTimes makes you pay to read it in a few weeks.

Wow good reading- thanks AWW

 

[aww]

And from that article we now have a previously private, almost-million dollar sale:

David Wassmann, chief marketing officer for Car.com, said the company paid "close to seven figures" for its new domain name last year, after being stuck for seven years with Stoneage.com

Thanks everyone - your comments are really appreciated. The writer's very positive tone about the value of domain names should give the market another strong boost. As those .com values continue to rise it forces small business to consider new extensions as an affordable alternative. so the entire market should continue growing across the board.

They really should have mentioned your .com if they were going to use your data. Maybe you will get some extra referals from google searches because of this.

Nice work Duke.. most admirable.. being mentioned in the NYT..
Imagine you'll see an influx in traffic to the site!

 

[aww]

On a side note, Parisi really needs to stop letting photos be taken of him. Trying to decide if that one is worse than this one. All he is doing is giving the press some stock photos for when he becomes the next one arrested under the "truth in domain names" act.
