http://www.collegebeing.com/most-expensive-domain-names List includes sex.com, porn.com, etc. I thought it was funny how sex.com was the highest paid domain name ever. It really shows what our society focuses on... What are your thoughts?
Yeah I agree, but do the now owners of sex.com really think they can make up the 12.whatever million USD they spent on it?
Sure, they'll sell it to the next sucker for $20 million When you consider the type-in traffic from a domain like that they probably can get a over a million a year in revenue from it anyways so it's not that crazy.
You know, if you put it that way it actually makes sense. How much money is there in buying and selling domains? I know for big domains like this there is a bunch, but what about domain names that aren't taken yet? You think anyone would ever pay any real money for them?
It happens all the time! Maybe not selling for mega money like the domains you mentioned, but people are constantly selling freshly registered domains...if they are good, and if they can find the right market/buyer. (present company included )
Fund.com was the highest reported domain cash sale @ ~$10MIL. http://www.domainnamenews.com/domain-sales/fundcom-sells-for-a-world-record-10-million/1476
True. I guess nobody really knows how much sex.com sold for. Somewhere between $12-14 million. How did they get that number?
According to http://www.collegebeing.com/most-expensive-domain-names porn.com sold for 9.5 mil and business.com for 7.5 mil. Don't know about the others, but at least read the article before posting questions that were clearly answered... I'm just saying.
there are few more sales which is not in the list fund.com - $50 less $1M (i guess would be some VAT issue or something as they didnt agree at $1M, any idea) - 2008/03 at monkier beer.com - $7M - 2004 - private sale shop.com - $3.5M - 2003/11 - private sale
There are still alot of really, really nice single keyword domain names for sale that might get alot more once they eventually sell. We will have to wait and see.
Yes, there are always new words being invented and new extensions being released. Remember the best time to plant a shade tree is 15 years ago, the next best time is TODAY
