nq.com goes for $27k on Afternic

[aww]

someone sold nq.com for $27k today:
http://www.afternic.com/name.php?id=856372

Jumped from $9.5k to $27k in one day? Sounds arranged.

But this makes the third highest sale on (the new) Afternic.

I saw this one for sale over at Domain State recently, maybe it was arranged there and then bid on at afternic

 

[Anthony]

But this makes the third highest sale on (the new) Afternic.

Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but what's the "new Afternic"?

 

[aww]

The new Afternic was launched at the start of 2003 with a new owner.
(The previous one went under and was owned by Register.com)

Oh wow, no wonder I never heard of the "old Afternic"! Look like Roger Collins, the computer whiz, made a sound business investment with that one!

Thanks for providing the informational link, aww!

 

[Bill1]

i think it was good bargain

 

[g0ldy]

Afternic was a bargain, but somebody overpaid for nq.com in my opinion.

 

[g0ldy]

some one got $6750 in commissions wow!

 

[Jeanco]

I can't believe proproject.com went for 60K Its selling a product that they just could've given a different name and been just as successful. Anyone have any additional info on this one?

 

[.edu]

so did the owner get $27k or $27k - $6750 ?

 

[g0ldy]

I think so - the fees...

 

[NameTower]

fees arent $6750.

and

fees are only 10% which = $2700.

So if you refered the buyer you would get half of that.

its funny.

Quite a few are scams

indiana, ks,

 

[redhippo]

so whats the final story? about the fees? more scams?

What a great blast from the past. 20 years ago what seemed like expensive is dirt cheap today.

Right, and maybe even a little of the opposite looking at the other sales listed in the OP.

I'd be kicking myself if I was the guy who dropped $60k on ProProject.com when he may have been able to get a 2L.com's for around $10k such as PP.com?!

I did not see that one oh yeah you are right. Could have bought 3 or 4 LL.coms and be sitting on $2M in domains instead $60K for that.

 

[Future Sensors]

While the nominal price of a domain in a given currency might change, the underlying value of the domain remains relatively constant, reflecting changes in the currency’s value rather than the domain itself.

Discuss...

Two letter .com that cheap wow. Facebook paid $6,000,000 for fb.com.
