Swetha sold Sportsbet.xyz back in May for $103,910. It was her second 6 figure .xyz domain name sale. At first the domain name was showing some funky zero click ads. But now it seems the buyer will use the name as a redirect. The buyer is the owner of Sportsbet.io. Sportsbet.io is owned and operated […] The post Pay 6 figures for the .xyz whe...

Braden Pollock posted two nice sales on Friday. Laura.com was sold for $250,000. It's no secret that first name.coms are highly prized. The site looks like it will be an ecommerce site with a Shopify landing page up currently. Laura which was a very popular name in the 60's, 70's and 80's is still in […] The post Laura.com sold for $250K as t...

Since about the middle of July Docky.ly has been on a catching spree for .app domain names. A lot of solid keywords were caught and even some one letter like C.app and R.app. I don't have the exact figures but I am sure many of these names have premium renewals or else the prices would […] The post A lot of solid keywords in .app dropping lat...
Looking back at July there were 407 reported new gtld domain name sales at Namebio. This is compared to 340 in June. Sales totaled $522,600 vs $377,800 in June.

Vey.com was registered back in 1997, sold for $4,000 in 2007 at Sedo. It was left to expire and caught by DropCatch. The auction closed at $48,250. It was unpaid and reauctioned, it closed on Saturday at $30,250. Closing on a Saturday in the summer probably didn't help with the bidding action. According to DotDB.com […] The post Vey.com close...
Btoc.com sold for the third time in 7 years according to Namebio. The domain name has a landing page in Chinese where the domain name is for sale. Now interestingly one of those sales must have not gone through. The name sold earlier this month for $8,950 at Sedo and now today it sold for […] The post Btoc.com sells for the third time appeare...
Sedo wrapped up their New gTLD auction and as I expected Base.xyz topped the chart with $5,251. It should be noted that a fair number of names had premium renewals. So those who looked them up probably tempered their bidding. base.xyz 5,251 USD 2022-07-28 Sedo star.app 2,575 USD 2022-07-28 Sedo properties.app 2,350 USD 2022-07-28 Sedo […] The...
Marksmen released a case study about a domain name acquisition they handled for a client. If you can get past all the boastful fluff like "our team knows their way around an acquisition like a top chef knows the temperature of a perfect mid-rare steak." It seems they felt particularly proud of the fact that […] The post I am not sure boasting...
Back on July 18, I posted about Swetha making her biggest sale to date. Byte.xyz at $129,888. She tweeted out it was cancelled. That really sucks and sorry to hear that. It will be interesting to see if they try to come back under a different id and make an offer at a lower price. The post Byte.xyz $129,888 sale cancelled appeared first on TLD Inve...
I wrote a couple days ago about 010.com. KT Corportation out of South Korea let a real gem drop. 010.com was left to expire and was caught by DropCatch. The auction went on and on back and forth First1 ended up winning the auction as NewYorker bowed out. The closing price was $121,150. The auction […] The post 010.com closes at $121,150 appea...

When looking at sales data reported on Namebio it's clear that GoDaddy rules the roost when it comes to the number of reported .com domain name sales. For the most part these sales are at the wholesale or investor level as names are won on GoDaddy auctions. You will see in the data below how […] The post GoDaddy domination – A look at t...
Braden Pollock hit another homerun with Raven.io. He sold the domain name for $75,000. The registration date was just back in June of 2020. I do not see a previous sale.

The new gtld auction at Sedo has just gotten underway. Each name has a reserve in the $1-$99 range.

There are […] The post Sedo New gTLD domain auction gets underway appea...
The .xyz sales for Swetha slowed a tad last month as we did not see as many but July has been back in a big way. After having her biggest sales Byte.xyz at $129,888 she posted 4 today.

SmartAboutMoney.org closed for a whopping $141,000 at GoDaddy auctions. This does not mean raise the pricing on your money related .orgs and don't use it as a comp when you are selling keywordkeywordmoney.org. This was purely a link play as the domain name has an excellent link profile and a high domain rating according to […] The post SmartA...
Swetha posted her biggest sale yet with Byte.xyz. $129,888 is just a fabulous price for the name and it's now her third 6 figure .xyz sale. This is the third highest reported.xyz sale of all time.

SNE.com closed at $63,499. The domain name expired at GoDaddy. It had previously closed at $25,005 back in 2012 at GoDaddy auctions.

It looks like some investors not end users are paying big bucks for .xyz domain names. Swetha has certainly been the dominant seller of .xyz domain names. While looking at some recent sales to see if there was a website up, I came across a couple that look to have been purchased by an investor. […] The post Croissant.xyz and Farmyard.xyz look...
In what has to be one of the ugliest domain names ever registered, Notification-unscrewing-idolise-amphanthia.xyz sold for $275 at Sav.com. It was registered the year before and I am not sure why. Checking Ahrefs there are not many links and no domain authority. Could have spent $275 on just about anything else and it would have […] The post ...
Vey.com was registered back in 1997, it looks like a German registrant sold the domain name for $4,000 in 2007 at Sedo. Checking out the whois history it looks like the domain name traveled the world and might have been sold again as one entry shows Escrow.com in the whois records. Whoever took ownership of […] The post Vey.com purchased for ...

Quite the drop in price but you need the perfect buyer to hit those end user asking prices. Something like when […] The post Byn.com from $25K to $94K a...
Two letter .coms are rare and valuable domain names. While reading CoinTelegraph.com I saw an article for XT.com which looks now to be the home of Tales of Xtalnia a P2E blockchain game.

I wrote a piece on how the ugly LLL.coms are much harder to extract solid value. One of the names in the post was a recent sale KVQ.com, it sold for just $10,502.
