sales Mike Mann Sells Three Domains For $77,776

NameSilo
Domain investor Mike Mann is back, posting new details of high value domain sales this week, and has revealed over $70,000 worth of sales publicly. Mr Mann has been in the news recently after publishing his views on new gTLDs and their worth in relation to .COM domain names; something that has sparked debate throughout social media and domain blogs.

Posting to his Twitter account this week, Mike revealed a total of three domain names that have sold for a combined total of $77,776, with the total acquisition price being $915.50 for the three domains.

The largest sale of the three is that of PersonalPlanner.com for $43,000, which Mike purchased in November 2008 for $900. According to WHOIS, this domain name sold via Sedo and is currently in Sedo's Escrow account.

There is one likely buyer for this domain name - a Swedish company called Personlig Almanacka, which operates a popular site on Personal-Planner.com. I wouldn't be surprised to see this company taking action and upgrading their domain name.

The second largest sale is that of a three-word .COM, which Mann hand registered in 2010 for $8. The domain, CareYourWay.com, was sold for $24,888 and looks to have been transferred to its new owners already, as it's under privacy at GoDaddy.

The phrase "CareYourWay" has been registered in all major gTLD variants that are listed on DomainTools.com. The .ORG is actively used by St Luke's University Health Network, and both the .NET and .US were registered by a company called Rockwell Financial LLC in 2015.

The third sale that Mike announced is WorldsBestVideo.com, which he sold for $9,888 after registering it in 2009 for $7.50. While Mike sold this name, he still owns WorldsBestVideos.com, which has a Buy Now price of $24,888.

The name was acquired by an individual from Texas who has also registered a number of related domains recently, including GreatestOnlineVideo.us and UniverseGreatestVideos.info.

Alongside the news of these three sales, Mike also revealed this week that the average sales price on his marketplace, DomainMarket.com, has increased and is now around the $3,000 mark.

It all comes down to your vision and how much you ask and how much an enduser can pay and is willing to pay. I love sales like these because it defies logic...Mike Mann is thinking outside the box.

he still sells the majority of his domains for a few grand.

You also have to take into account the thousands of other domains he registered that he's paying reg fees on that haven't sold. Sales like these help to pay for the rest, but only he knows how ahead or behind he is - although I'm sure he's doing quite fine.

Yet again, he continues to baffle many of us with the WTF?, WhoTF, WhyTF and HowTF?.... Oh well, maybe one day he will release some top secret training that will shed some light how he manages to do it. ..........

Inspiring news indeed, as today in a diminishing domain world, we need such news greatly.

Again, this is just a part of the story, overall could be that he is not making much, given the size of the inventory and annual renewal cost of $2-$3 million.

If, with decent quality portfolio, it is normal to achieve 1-2% sales priced mostly in $500-$3000 range, with his pricing pattern, his sales ratio must be in 0.1%-0.2% range.

But then, again, he states that his average sale price is $3K, so I assume he does not apply the same approach to the whole inventory.

He might have selected 10-20% of inventory to price very high for mostly publicity, while still selling the rest in $500-$3000 range for 1-2% sales ratio.

MM exhibiting in spades, two crucial qualities for a successful domainer. Good name picking skills and the patience to wait up to several years for the right buyer.

Finally someone who can see through this on here.

life is so unfair.
why unfair?

Now, this is the kind of sales I hope to continue making in this domain investing business.

Average sale price for me, is in the mid four figure range, at a 0.5 - 1.0 frequency ratio.

If you don't have patience, domain investing may not be right for you, and this shouldn't be anyone's only source of income.

Amazing! Would be great to learn his method. Does he reach out, or are these all inbound sales?

The only way to make a big sale is to turn down small offers. Being greedy can cost you solid offers but sometimes you have to be willing to walk away. Last week I received a $1000 offer for a two-word .aged COM. I am not accepting that offer. Time will tell whether or not this end user is willing to pony up.

he has over a million domains; so he needs 40k sales in order to pay for renewals; If you had a million domains you would be getting multiple mid five figure sales as well. Take into consideration he also sells names for few grand as well.

Add to that, a good ability to correctly price domains.

heres one of his techniques he's not doing. He's not sitting on a forum all day bragging up GTLD's. weird all the big domainers have this in common.

I don't think he has a million domains, close to 300,000
