Domain Name that sold that you don't hear about!

[john_karr]

Hello, do you believe that there is still a good percentage of generic DN that privately sold, and the public do not hear about? Do you have any examples of DN? For example, one month it's parked, than a couple of months later you go back to the page to find a large corporation own the name.

No, this is a myth.

How dare you even suggest such blasphemy as only a tiny fraction of domains ever being sold in auction with ridiculous fees being charged before you even do anything and that domains cannot be sold in any other way.

Now, if you just wait right here the friendly men in white coats will be along shortly to take you away :p

Apparently Godaddy Premium Listings sales don't get reported to DNJournal. I sold a domain for $3000 in February via Godaddy Premium Listings and it never appeared on DNJ's weekly sales reports. The buyer was a newspaper chain / editorial in Colombia which launched an auto portal kind of like AutoTrader.com but in Spanish.

Most domain sales are private sales. I've sold dozens, some for several thousand, and have never reported a sale to DNJournal.

I believe Godaddy don't report their sales to DNJ.
I have also had one $2500 sale at Sedo, that was not in DNJ in spite of meeting the reporting threshold.

I would guess that 90%+ of all domain sales do not get reported.

The majority of end user sales are direct from owner to buyer and in a moderate price range.

Most of the reported sales are either at the very top end of the scale, or domains that mostly trade back and forth between other domainers.

i sell domains to end users all the time for amounts that are high enough for dnjournal but i never report any of them.

So, lacking 90% or more of substantiated sales data, one can understand that the vast majority of appraisals
are nothing more than pie-in-the-sky, wild-ass guesses.

Well, there is no price guide so valuing domains is highly subjective and depends on many factors.
