RYL.net sells for $9450

[ezimedia]

HI All

I was just checking sales of sold domains on afternic.com and found RYL.net sold for $9450 being a 3 letter .net with a Y in it seems a bit much, But one never knows I guess if you are at the right place at the right time you may get your asking price.

That brings me to another question what should ones asking price be for a domain listed on afternic.com or sedo.com should one always over price their domains or just list them at a price they are willing to sell at.

Any comment would be great,

Thanks

That .net would never have gone for such a high price if it were not the acronym for their game. Of course, in this case, it was, so it went for quite a nice price. Happy to hear NP helped the .us owner cash in as well!

He had stated "Low X,XXX". :blink:

Waiting to hear a reply to my PM (above), as the WhoIs still hasn't yet updated (at least according to Whois.sc) ... as I wanted to get the confirmed information on out to the domain news oulets. This could be a (near) record three-letter ".US" sale, IMHO.
Woop!

:wave:

hmm I think jeff is right, I don't think I recall any higher .us sales, and don't see one on dnjournal either

That's funny.
You see the point about different values on different letters is this:

The worse letters have a worse opportunity for an end user sale.

But when the end user *needs* XPW.com, he needs that name.

and ABC.com means nothing to him because he needs that name XPW.com

There are many more potential end users for abc.com however in an end user sale, you don't gauge by the quality of letters.

This is very true. I personally would pay mid xx,xxx for xpw.com and most people would think i had gone mad.
