Year's 1st Reported 7-Figure Domain Sale Headlines a Banner Week for the Aftermarket

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales Report is out at DNJournal.com. It took two months to break the ice, but the year's first reported 7-figure domain sale is now in the books. Frank Schilling's DomainNameSales.com did the honors with a very nice two-word.com domain. They went on to sweep 7 of the first 10 chart entries and 10 places overall on our new all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. Other major sales venues did very well too. Sedo reported their best week of the year and the cash registers were also ringing non-stop at the AfternicDLS as business was brisk industry-wide.

I wonder about how many of these seven figure domain sales happen over a givem year. The contents of this thread suggest that it may be a truly terrific year for domain sales.

great name , great sale

Supposed $1 million sale, $10 web design

As per usual with domainer-developers

I don't believe any domain-developer with an affiliate page would truly pay $1 million

IMHO you won't read anything bad about the domain business at dnjournal.com. Ron Jackson (Editor/Publisher) is a holder of lots of domains, including lots of .us names, so there's an interest there in keeping the perception of the business rosey. In fact only until recently I was seeing Snapnames getting lots of credit for "reported sales," when in fact Snapnames is the biggest admitted domain auction fraudster in domain history. Adam Dicker also received a positive portrayal at dnjournal.com, allthewhile Dicker was stealthily bidding against clueless customers at Godaddy TDNAM auctions for domains, driving up prices and procuring prime name(s) for himself like SPYWARE.US. I don't remember reading what a scumbag Dicker was, but rather he was featured as a wonderful guest at some domain convention with other ethically-challenged individuals. I think Kevin Ham was given the positive spotlight at dnjournal.com, all smiling and such. I believe I read that Ham was a typosquatter on a massive scale. But what do I know ... I just keep track of this stuff.
