Two Names Share Top Spot on This Week's Domain Sales Chart - Four Others Tie for #3

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. Ties were the order of the day with two names tied for the top spot, four deadlocked in the runner-up position, three knotted at #9 and four more sharing the final slot on the Top 20. .Coms swept 20 of the 23 chart entries (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final position). The ccTLDs took three places leaving the non .com gTLDs empty handed. You can get all of the details here: http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2012/20121212.htm

WOW..wasn't expecting the week that Thanksgiving fell on to see higher sales than the following week. November started out so good too..

Guess we'll be seeing more of the $50-$60K numbers until after the New Year.

Bunch of crap. imho.

Mixture of AWFUL names, non-changing whois, bad names, overpriced names .... some decent buys down the order but wow.

Yeah, I noticed that quality of some names was definitely questionnable.

I would hope that some domain name pumping isn't going on, but I wouldn't be surprised.

:P

I saw nothing different this week then every other previous week. There are always going to be names that seem not to make sense or are bad. Its a big world, people who don't like hyphens think hyphenated domain sales are crap or fake, people who don't like letters and numbers mixed think they are crap or fake. Usually its just someone has an idea and thinks the name was worth buying. Every week there are names that are "How the heck did that sell ?"

Yes but some of these are worse than even that criteria. Some of these name are plain rotten.

Who thinks - yeah thats worth buying I'll dump $60K into it? Yeah, I know the answer: Someone with $60K to lose.

If you gave me my pick of solid end user names from the list? The best ones are under $5K which is something I always say. (End user wise, not investor wise).

My "favorite" sale (which I think is legit) FrankenStorm.com $15K. Wow. I'm intrigued by that purchase.

 

[equity78]

Yeah unless its a great name the best end user buys are in the $2000 to $5000 range.

I don't know I think HotelsGuide.com is a bad domain, the other one the seller lucked out that the end user used Lux and got a better price than you would normally get for that domain.

I've noticed lower quality types of names selling for $25K+ a lot more lately...this is either some money laundering going on, OR it means that domain values are climbing back up to where they were a few years ago... back in 2004-06, you'd always see a lot of crappy names selling for big bucks...

I don't know I think HotelsGuide.com is a bad domain

It is horrible.

Only value would be traffic revenue but that's not disclosed. As an end user name? Terrible.

Lux was a lot of lux

WrightFoods.com $25,000 wtf?!

 

[stuart_domains]

if wrightfoods is worth $25k then my site lightning adapter.com which is making loads of money daily must be worth at least $100k
However its not for sale.

 

[equity78]

Well John, You and I have a different definition of horrible, imo that domain is not horrible. But at the end of the day all that matters is it sold for the owner.
