You unequivocally need to get on a bound cost domain bandwagon - SedoMLS and AfternicDLS are changing the game. Sedo released its first quarter domain name market study today (pdf). For the first time ever, fixed price “buy now” listings were the company’s most common type of sale. 39% of sales were buy now purchases and 34% were offer-counter offer purchases. There’s a simple reason for this: end user buyers don’t want to negotiate. And they want their domain now. I suspect a lot of these sales occurred through SedoMLS. ... read more ...

MegaUpload.net on auction again, DigitalArchery.com sale falls through - MegaUpload.net up for auction again, and DigitalArchery.com doesn’t have a new owner after all. Here are a couple interesting updates on Sedo domain name auctions. First, MegaUpload.net is on auction at Sedo…again. An auction for the domain closed at $11,099 on April 5. But the whois record for the domain never changed, so I’m not sure if the sale went through.

How NOT to foster your domains for sale around email - @Andrew You may be right, and it is possible that I’m mistaken about a domainer reporting me as a spammer to Flippa. But that impression of mine is hard to shake. Often I run into a culture among domainers where person A gloats in person B’s misfortunes or criticizes person B publicly without ever trying to communicate with person B directly. I’m accustomed to camaraderie in professional settings, but many–thankfully, not all–domainers are isolated and impatient people who ... read more ...

WirelessPhone.com sole for $355k in 2006. WirelessPhones.com only sole for $70k. - A good deal or a reality check of the domain market? Afternic just brokered the sale of WirelessPhones.com for $70,000. The name rang a bell, so I started searching around.

WirelessPhones.com is a better domain than the singular version. And it just sold for 1/5th of what the singular version ... read more ...

Especially when it’s within two weeks. So don’t tell domain investor Duane Higgins that “all the good domains are taken”. Because he just sold a domain he registered on March 31 for $4,050. Last Friday I wrote about the auction for DigitalArchery.com at Sedo. At that time it had one bidder for $1,000. It closed on Saturday for $4,050, thanks ... read more ...
