Update on Top 10 Sales from a Year Ago: Maca.com, LEA.com, Dolphin.org, More

Listed below are updates to the top ten domain sales from a year ago, as ranked by DN Journal.

Not alot of developed sites this week, in part thanks to half of the list being LLL.com domains that are likely held for investment purposes, rather than being picked up by an end user for development.

1. Maca.com for $150,000

• This domain was an upgrade from Maca.cn, although the .com is still being forwarded to the .cn. The Chinese-language site promotes a supplement based on maca, per a translation of their site, “maca, raw materials 100% from Peru, Maca purified from the plant, the removal Maca difficult to absorb certain ingredients, Retains the essence of the plant Maca (Maca Maca-ene and amides), just to give people a truly tailor their own healthy new foods. “

2. UsedCars.ca for $115,920

• The domain is parked, and owned by the Mike Priestner Automotive Group of Edmonton. In my opinion, they need to learn how to get a redirect in place to get any traffic to one of their other developed sites, such as GoAuto.ca.

3. LEA.com for $60,100

• Picked up by someone with the last name Lea, per Whois — Tomson Lea of Los Angeles. No site is live.

4. Ingles.com for $49,899

• Domain is parked and owned by Original Web Ventures, who we discussed previously as the buyer of Intranet. They own other domains such as Reggae.com and France.net.

5. Dolphin.org for $45,000

• The domain is owned by Edith Yeung of Right Ventures, which is affiliated with Dolphin Browser, which operates on Dolphin.com, and is a mobile browser which has raised over $10 million in funding.

6. AKU.com for $41,517

• No site resolves. Owned by Bin Zhao of Millbrae, California. Prior to this sale, AKU.com sold for $13,167 in August 2013, making it a very profitable flip.

7. Trucks.ca for $38,640

• Same situation as UsedCars.ca above —- same buyer that, in my opinion, needs to put a redirect in place to one of their developed site.

8. ELL.com for $31,900

• Domain doesn’t resolve. Owned by TOP DOMAIN LIMITED of Singapore.

9 (tie). CFF.com for $30,100
