Nice buy. The buyer really is self made to be able to afford a domain in that price range. You don't pay close to a million for a domain name if your net worth is just a couple of million.

The great thing about this sale is that it’s 2 words. Could be 3 or more. Point is, one word domains are valuable but the right 2-3 word domain could be more valuable. Why? 2-3 word domains say something that you can’t always convey in a single word.

Totally Agree!

... selfmade is one word.

I think you are right, the term "selfmade" ("self-made") can indeed be viewed as 1 word as the 2 words that make up it merge together and forming a (1) new word, there are many examples of other "1 word + 1 word = 1 (new) word" - words.

If you have to dissect it, it’s 2 words. One word domains are obvious and do not need explanation.

If you have to dissect it, it’s 2 words.

If you dissect it (= this 1 word), you destroy it (= this 1 word).
As a result, you get 2 new, separate, independent words.

If you add these 2 words up, a (1) new word (word = singular, therfore it's 1 word) is created.

An allegory would be a sentence that you can split into 2 sentences.
First you have 1 sentence, after you split it into 2 sentences, you have 2 sentences.
If you put these 2 sentences together you have (again) 1 sentence.

One word domains are obvious and do not need explanation.

I consider "selfmade.tld" as a one word - domain name that doesn't need an explanation (at least not to them who are familiar with the english language).

However, if this form ("self-") is not considered (but only "self" without the "-") and you split the 1 word "self-made" in all it's "parts" (not letters but just 2 words and 1 hyphen), you get the 2 words "self" and "made" and the 1 hyphen (which "falls off" (as I would call it) and) which is now just another independent part which doesn't influence the 2 words.
