(Weekly) Spotted NamePros Landing Page sales Report
Once a week I'll identify a NamePros Landing page sales report that was spotted and has not been shared in this thread yet. I'll then dig into the surface of it a little to see why it may have sold for what it did and what I, personally, feel the domain was actually worth in today's market.
Note: This is not a full termed evaluation, just a touch on the surface to gather enough thought provoking data to peek behind the curtain a little. You can find more in depth domain evaluations in the
professional appraisal section of NamePros.
With the above in mind, lets dive right in...
Motion.co
NameBio Sales Report
Defining (Motion):
Motion refers to the change in an object's position over time relative to a frame of reference. Depending on the context, the term has specific meanings in physics, law, and formal procedures.
1. In Physics
In the physical world, motion is described through variables like distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration.
- Newtonโs Laws: These govern how objects move. The first law (inertia) states that an object stays in its current state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.
- Types of Motion:
- Translational: Movement where all parts of an object move the same distance (e.g., a car driving).
- Rotational: Movement around a fixed axis (e.g., a spinning wheel).
- Oscillatory: Back-and-forth movement around a central point (e.g., a pendulum).
- Periodic: Motion that repeats at regular intervals.
2. In Law
In a legal context, a
motion is a formal procedural device used to request a specific ruling or order from a judge.
- Common Examples:
- Motion to Dismiss: A request to throw out a case due to a legal flaw.
- Motion for Summary Judgment: A request for the judge to decide the case without a full trial because the facts are not in dispute.
- Motion in Limine: A request to exclude certain evidence from being presented during a trial.
3. In Formal Meetings (Parliamentary Procedure)
A motion is a formal proposal made by a member of a deliberative assembly (like a committee or board) for the group to take action or express an opinion.
- Process: Typically, a member "moves" a motion, it is "seconded" by another, and then debated before a vote is taken.
4. Other Uses
- Gesture: Moving a hand or head to signal someone (e.g., motioning for someone to sit down).
- Idioms: "Set in motion" means to start a process, while "going through the motions" means doing something perfunctorily without genuine interest.
- Medical: Used to describe the range of movement in joints or organs (e.g., flexion, extension)

Wayback Machine
- The asset resolved for the first time in 2014 as a sales lander
- From 2018 to 2022 the asset kept auto redirecting every second or 2, indicating an ad server or parked page
- In mid-2023 the asset resolved as a NamePros landing page
- In 2025 today, the asset resolves as a coming soon page.

Note: It appears the asset sat on a lander or parked page for 8-years prior to being moved to a NamePros landing page, in which it then sold within a little over 1-year (Was it the NamePros lander that made the difference?).

Outlining a potential 12-month revenue projection using business model #1
To expand on the
Motion Design & Creative Asset Marketplace, the focus is on high-volume, low-friction digital products. By positioning
Motion.co as the "boutique alternative" to bloated stock sites, you target professional editors and social media managers who value speed and aesthetic over quantity.
The Product Strategy
- The "Motion Pack" Model: Instead of single files, sell "Brand Kits" (matching intros, lower-thirds, and transitions) that allow a creator to unify their look instantly.
- Format Versatility: Offer assets compatible with Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and mobile-friendly Lottie files for app developers.
12-Month Revenue Projection
Budget: $200/mo (Allocated to $150 Meta/Pinterest Retargeting + $50 for micro-influencer outreach).
| Month | Strategy Focus | Est. Monthly Traffic | Conv. Rate (2%) | Avg. Order Value (AOV) | Monthly Revenue |
|---|
| 1-3 | SEO Setup & "Freebie" lead magnets to build email list. | 1,500 | 30 sales | $25 | $750 |
| 4-6 | Launching "Pro Kits" ($79+). Using $200 budget for retargeting. | 3,500 | 70 sales | $45 | $3,150 |
| 7-9 | Introduction of Subscription Tier ($29/mo). | 6,000 | 120 sales | $35 (LTV) | $4,200 |
| 10-12 | Referral program & affiliate marketing launch. | 10,000 | 200 sales | $50 | $10,000 |
Annual Total Revenue Projection: $60,000 to $85,000 (highly dependent on the quality of the initial asset library).
Applying The 25% Rule
The
25% Rule is a common valuation method in intellectual property and domaining (As seen used by
Eric Lyon) where the asset's value is estimated based on its projected contribution to the business's gross profit or revenue.
1. Future Revenue Potential:
Based on the Year 1 growth above, an established brand on this domain could reasonably reach
$200,000/year by Year 3 as the library grows.
2. Calculation:
- Estimated Annual Revenue: $200,000
- 25% Contribution Value: $50,000
3. The "Motion.co" Multiplier:
Because "Motion" is a high-intent, premium dictionary word and the
.co extension is one of the leading ccTLD alternatives to .com for startups, you apply a brandability premium.
- Baseline Value: $50,000 (The 25% Rule)
- Market Scarcity Adjustment: +$25,000 - $50,000
- Guesstimated End User: $75,000 - $125,000
Why this price? For a buyer, spending $100k on Motion.co is justified if it saves them that same amount in customer acquisition costs (CAC) over 3-5 years. A premium name provides instant authority and better organic search performance, making the 25% investment a "marketing hedge."
Note: Mid-5-figure to low-6-figure price-point using the 25% rule methodology.
Sales data for:
Note: There's a few exact match sales reports to look at for "Motion", which I'll take a closer look at next. It should also be noted that it's generally a good sign when you an asset like Motion.ly sell a second time 3-years later for way more than the first sale. It's a potential indicator that demand is rising or a trend is starting. It's also interesting to see that Motion.co sold for much, much more (Completely different tax bracket) than any of the other exact match (before the dot) sales did. (Could it have been the NamePros sales lander?)

Note: All the sales reports I looked at are still parked, landed or forward to another domain, except the .com, which is an established Industrial Business supply Brand. It's interesting to see the 2 sales landers with 4 and 5-figure price tag still sitting, along with the ones with no pricing, while Motion.co sold for 6-figures using a NamePros landing page.

Thoughts (Domain Only) โ (Feb 2026 Market)
:
- Reseller = $990 to $3.8k
- Hobbyist = $3.9k to $18.5k
- End user = $18.6k to $71.1k
- Unicorn = $71.2k to $201.4k+ (With the right presentation you could exceed this.)
Recap:
- The asset (before the dot) is a single-dictionary-word with some professional and playful directions it could go. After the dot is the .co ccTLD (Country-Code Top-Level Domain).
- It appears the asset sat on a lander or parked page for 8-years prior to being moved to a NamePros landing page, in which it then sold within a little over 1-year (Was it the NamePros lander that made the difference?).
- Mid-5-figure to low-6-figure price-point using the 25% rule methodology.
- There's a few exact match sales reports to look at for "Motion", which I'll take a closer look at next. It should also be noted that it's generally a good sign when you an asset like Motion.ly sell a second time 3-years later for way more than the first sale.

Note: The $150k acquisition of Motion.co is smack dab in the Unicorn End-User sliding scale (In my opinion) based on the above data that gave a small peek behind the curtain. However, I am unsure if the NamePros landing page motivated the higher price retention or if it was just a coincidence (The data hints that it might have been a factor). With the asset resolving as coming soon page, it's hard to know yet if the buyer over-paid or if they were perfectly aligned within their start-ups business model and revenue projections.
In either case, congrats to the buyer and seller.
