.io Lucky.io sold $67000

[private123]

Who is lucky?
I think seller is very lucky

 

[Ace3coiner]

I always take any sale on park.io with a pinch of salt...

 

[alcy]

.io is having regular sales.

we all know tech etc startups love it.

this obviously is a super high .io sale.. I think its #1 biggest on namebio

no one here would pay this money for it.. but thats fine cause no one here is really an enduser either.

whereas startups... or just flithy rich enduser .. they often don't really care if its 10k or 100k

lets see how it gets used.

 

[kite26]

Wait a minute. It is not $6700? It has one more zero? Then, yes the seller was very lucky. But the name is very good. .io shines again!

 

[FolioTeam]

Congrats to the seller. But then, lucky is a great name to begin with

 

[Kate]

I don't understand that people spend so much money on .io names.
To me .io is some kind of mystery.

 

[Keith]

Don't get carried away by any sale on park.io

So true. Mike can bid up anyone on any given domain and keep it for registration cost or take the sale.

I’m going to create a thread and partner with someone who can beat his software to catch deleting .io

PM me right away if you want to compete with park.io. We’ll make a fortune.

Please do your own research as I do not want to be quoted on this...

So then don't make random accusatory statements that you're afraid to back up! It helps no one

Generic .io names are having a huge comeback because of the tech and crypto sectors. If the buyer is a large company in either of those industries then $67k might be just a tiny expense for them. Nice sale for both parties.

 

[DigitalIO]

The point is internet is growing and it seems that .io is becoming something like the silicon valley... coders familiar with io term. And confererances like Google I/O, succesfull entrepreneurs who has .io web sites makes .io popular.

.io is kind of a funny extension to me. It means absolutely nothing to the consumer. But the tech guys like it and in their little bubble give it value

You're looking at this from the wrong "consumer" angle. Most of these companies are angling for venture capital or to be bought out. In order to do that, they need to attract the smartest programmers. Look at https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ Techie for sure, but it's obviously something bolted onto a .com. A programmer sees another company actively updating their api on Github then checks out their homepage. Minimal material design, .io extension, all gets him (or her) thinking it might be cool to work for them. That's knowing their audience. I don't think people understand how fierce the competition is for top coders. Get the best coders & you'll have the best product.

.io is young and scrappy with long hours and a pot of gold at the end (stock options). .com is an established dinosaur with ample time off for wife & kids and company picnics.

Oh yeah, looks like Google's on board too - https://events.google.com/io/

I think both are lucky seller & buyer It's amazing sale

I think both are lucky seller & buyer It's amazing sale

Lucky.io is awesome - $67K is shortchange for a multi-billionaire who likes a lucky charm online.

Digital.IO is probably one of the best .IO domains with the whole digital input/output..
Wishing you a huge sale & keep breaking records - lets go for 100K+
Good Luck

 

[Ace3coiner]

Sell your domain to yourself at your platform and then any price becomes possible.This is just a guess, time may tell, I'm not against it, I hope park.info and park.biz sell some domains as well.

Only @ park.io : I think digital.io will worth a lot of bucks if you know what I mean. If only a price tag is what thou seeketh...

 

[DigitalIO]

I don't understand that people spend so much money on .io names.
To me .io is some kind of mystery.

“if all those people who are investing time in a startup choose for .io then this must have a reason. Several reasons are mentioned on the web:

– input/output
– i and o next to each other on keyboard
– 2 letters
– Trust worthy UK
– recognizable sound e.g rad/io, b/io etc

I wanna add something to this list which is more an artistic intuitive feeling than a solid argument. The existing of so many fine crafted .io startups does influences the reputation of this extension. I don’t know if the market shares my feelings but I would describe them as:

– pure
– craftwork
– friendly
– simple
– mobile proof
– personal, personal, personal” Freddie Compier

lucky.io is listed on GoDaddy for $88,888 - old listing?

https://www.godaddy.com/dpp/find?isc=cjcdplink&checkAvail=1&tmskey=&domainToCheck=lucky.io

thats exactly what it is. old.
its been there.. presumably at this same price.. for min 40 days.

cheers

 

[mrcurly]

Odds on it will be a crypto coin casino

 

[Ace3coiner]

I know you’re promoting your domain and all but I’ll be shocked if it’s a crypto co. The domain moved to name.com and I don’t see a multi million dollar company going that route. Let’s see...

Could you tell me more about this? Who's Mike? Mike Mann?

 

[3sixty]

Dot .io is kind of a funny extension to me. It means absolutely nothing to the consumer. But the tech guys like it and in their little bubble give it value, which brings domain investors and Park into the cycle.

If my company is looking for a service site and they are called "Lucky" or "Bobcat". Will I give a crap if they are Lucky.io, Lucky.ai, Lucky.ly, Lucky.sh or Lucky.co?

Nope. Infact outside of .com, .co would probably inspire the most confidence.

Been there, done that, was acquired, he now has the best tech. Good luck.

Hard to believe anyone would pay 67k for Lucky.io In fact, even 10% of that would be a good price, imo. It's crazy dot-io is valued so high since only domainers and techies (probably not all) are aware of this British Indian Ocean country-code. Domains such as Lucky.tech lucky.global lucky.online lucky.website lucky.site lucky.store lucky.gold and many others are available for 3k or less. Those names could work for business startups so why pay 67k for lucky.io You could ask 1,000 random people about dot-io and likely 98% of the public would have no idea what it is or somehow connect it to a tech business or a start-up. So how does it have an advantage, maybe I am missing something?

 

[Kate]

I must be missing something too. But I think .io is a fad, just like .ai is now gaining some traction for certain types of projects. At some point .me was fashionable too (even .cc a very long time ago).
Personally, I would never use a .io knowing it's the TLD of Diego Garcia and it is a very sad story.

 

[thekiller]

If the end user bought it, it will most likely be used for gambling or lottery site. I maybe wrong but I'm guessing.
