Hi Guys - I thought maybe it's good idea to have one thread where to report the latest and interesting domain names sales. Domain sales are usually a big help to point you to the right direction, the rising trends and to learn from domainers successful stories. Well tonight I just read about the last Afternic sales and I was amazed by this sale: internationalflowers(.)com $19,558.00 Th reason I was interested in this sale because i own AmericanFlowers (.)com. I was thinking that mine is actually more brandable for the US market but I guess i wasn't lucky enough, it was little close.
So email the buyer of internationalflowers.com and ask if they'll buy yours. Btw, I dont really want to sell a bunch of sales that cant be varified, they are useless. Some domain sales by people on this site would be better.
Really impressed with the price the domain was sold.. There is nice opportunity to earn really good money.
@buzinthenet: Domain only. I'm planning on doing that. I'm just waiting for the whois to update or whatever the situation so I can reach the right person. The sale i posted was on the official Afternic last week report so I'm assuming it's verified:

people who bought the internationalflowers(.)com might buy yours too, selling domain names is also a good business, LOL
I hope so. I really think mine is much better. Not because i won it, simply because it's more brandable.
