Nasty.com - Sold for $200,000

[DomainTalker]

Sale reported at Sedo today...


$200,000 is a very toppy price for this name, imo...

What's the rationale?....Even for Porn producers, this seems a lot in today's market.

Opinions?

Whois is still showing Sedo Domain Transfer Escrow Service. Doesn´t look like that sum was paid for an existing site, traffic or backlinks.
After all it shows that there´s money in the market - $xxx,xxx sales seem to occur with a certain regularity recently (if I remember right $200,000 may not even put it into the top 10 sales so far this year).

It actually looks like this domain already sold for $200,000 via Sedo in July 2006 and for $190,000 on ebay in June 2006 ??

Yes I do agree that for that price, there were probably more generic one word domains that could have been purchased if the new buyers were intending on building an adult site, will just have to wait and see what happens!.

Damn that is nasty, nice hit. Congrats to owner.

Are you kidding?

With the right development, nasty.com could easily recoup the $200,000. It's a super-simple domain. There's no doubt about what type of content you'd expect. For the right developer, nasty.com could be a goldmine.

I have nastynice.com

Yours for 0.02% of that price!

With the right development any domain can recoup the acquisition costs. I'm kinda sarcastic but you get the point. A domain name is just raw land.

only with the business plan in mind. if they plan to park it, then its ganna suck to get the investment back unless there is enduser come and buy it from the new owners.

Nasty.com sold in 2006 for $200K, so 4 years later it sold for the same price. Just an FYI.

That is not a very good investment if the buyer sold it for the same price that he bought it for. However I would not mind $200k in my bank account

I hear adult industry revenue has fallen off a cliff over the past year, 18 months, or so...

And, its hard to see an alternative (commercial) use for the name.

May be just me, but I would have thought low-medium $xx,xxx for this domain.


Hence my curiosity...

The price seems very high to me aswell.

Mid 2006 was a very different domain market to today. They have done very well to get the same price in my view. Most adult domains would have lost 2/3 of their value since then.

it would be interesting to see what they use the nasty.com for.

 

[DnEbook]

i am just gonna guess it was purchased for the branding potential and also gonna guess for clothing ???

 

[ipodxpert]

that is a nasty price for the domain name.

Not a bad idea, actually...

Or, a band/Music?....Maybe a vid game?...Brand of fragrance/perfume?


Anyway, be interesting to see...

I can't imagine any band paying big money for a domain. Instead they use oasisinet.com, mikasounds.com, pinkspage.com, hereisnirvana.com, etc... it isn't worth it even if the band or label has the money.

Video games are no dice either. I think we are going to see big use of custom TLDs here anyway considering where the game sites are at now. halo.xbox.com, battlefield.ea.com, splintercell.us.ubi.com, maddennfl.easports.com, etc... A custom TLD enabling game.xbox makes a lot of sense.

As for products, I can't see a startup paying $200k for the brand's domain here in 2010.

99% chance it's a xxx site.
