Unbelievable domain sales thread

[james2002]

I found out a while ago that

Freecreditscore.org sold for $123,000 and it is unbelievable domain sale.

Nav.no sold for more than $700,000 and it is also unbelievable.

How do you explain these domain sales?

Please add any such domain sales in this thread.

I think the buyer may not be aware of domain prices.

I don't think that there is really any set price for any domain. I mean you can only have set prices for things that are produced in numbers. Those are set by the market.

Of course there are always some previous domain sales which can give an approximate value to a domain, but its real value is what someone is ready to pay for it.

If you're lucky, you can find an enduser with lots of money (big corporations or billionaires) who absolutely want to have this particular domain. As each domain is unique, if you have great skills, you can sell some domains for an unbelievably high amount of money.

On the other side, if you're unlucky, you can have a really good domain but no enduser will be interested in it and you will only be able to sell it to a reseller at a heavily discounted rate just because you needed the money quickly.

$123,000 for a domain like freecreditscore.org is obviously overpriced and someone else might have sold this very same domain on NP Marketplace for $123. But as always in the domaining world, it's all about finding the right buyer at the right time... Not always easy but it can be well worth it...

Believe it or not, I know some really rich people top 1000 fortune that are ready to buy any kind of domain names for $xxx,xxx simply because they like it and for us it could be a huge amount for a domain name that you think it don't worth that much but for Top 1000 it's just like they are buying a nice motorcycle or bicycle (500 fortune)
They are just happy with their "toy"

Just check Dnjournal for domain names sold in the past and you'll be amaze to see how these happens offently.

I agree on this.

I can't believe Beauty.cc and Topix.com both sold for a cool million dollars...

Topix.com was because Topix.net is a really famous very popular site and they had to have the .com
like alexaank 1400

well, beauty.cc lol imo that was prob a hoax or something, i mean look at the site it redirects to rofl

Right buyer in this case might possibly be someone who might not have good domain previous sales knowledge. If someone got enough knowledge, he or she might not go for these domains for six figures.

... unless he/she absolutely wanted them, had lots of money and let the seller know about that beforehand.

Charley, as you asked...

.no = Norway
http://norid.no/

I'd love to own yesor.no but it's taken and you need to a) be an organization and b) have a local presence in Norway.

Well you can register no.com if not .no

I have
Poker.no.com (For Sale).

That nav.no one was mentioned in dnjournal

Who would spend that kind of money on a 3-letter acronym in a relatively unknown extension? If you said only the government would throw money around like that, you get a gold star! The Norwegian government is starting a new bureau next fall called Ny Arbeids og Velferdsforvaltning (which translates roughly to New Work and Welfare Administration), hence the desire to acquire the NAV acronym that had been owned by a Norwegian architectural firm.
