3. BigSale.com for $50,000
- The owner of the domain is looking for a big sale…..their lander shows a buy it now price of $500,000. Whois shows the owner at Viet Nguyen of Texas, and they own other domains such as BigDeals.com and SmartShopper.com.
4. AutoAssurance.com for $42,500
- The domain is parked. Whois shows the owner as Landmark Management of Texas, and they control plenty of other ‘assurance’ names, such as MemberAssurance.com, FordAssurance.com, DodgeAssurance.com and more.
5. 1346.com for $38,000
- A simple lander is live that lists a contact email address ([email protected]. Yes, Hotmail.). Similar landers are live for other domains owned by the same China-based investor, such as B8B.com, 3929.com, and 87T.com.
6. HotelNews.com for $20,400
- No site resolves, and the owner is under privacy protection.
6. JobBoerse.com for $20,400
- An addition to the IDN – JobBörse.com, which is where their acquisition is redirected, and a German-language job board is live. They state “2,578,663 jobs from more than 1.5 million business sites”. The Alexa rank on the IDN is just over 100,000.
8. HealthSpark.com for $20,000
- No site resolves. It’s owned by Cambria Health Solutions, so I’m guessing a new site or new business is on the way.
9. Heals.com for $16,800
- An upgrade from Heals.co.uk. “Good design, well made. These values have directed Heal’s collections since 1810, so our customers can expect innovative, quality homeware.“
10. XMouse.com for $16,000
- Can’t really tell what’s going on……manipulating the Google Earth API. Appears to be owned by SeeScan, “We believe in creative thinking and constant innovation. From conception, to design, to actual product creation we develop video pipe inspection and utility locating equipment that just works. Since 1983 we have maintained an unparalleled level of quality that our customers have come to expect. “
Aaron I reckon the UK furniture company made an excellent buy at $16,800 for heals.com.
Re JobBoerse.com – you will notice from your screenshot that this domain is forwarded (hence no Alexa rank) to the IDN domain with the o-umlaut spelling JobBörse.com, which has a global Alexa rank of 102,418 and its Alexa rank in German is 4,856.
Damn fizz, you’re watching me like a hawk! 🙂 Sloppy, sloppy work on my part…….
Thanks for the JobBoerse comments — I’ve made the correction above.
thats cool going back and looking at individual weeks – do you encourage that as an exercise to get a better feel for pricing domains?
I like looking back to see how the domains are being used.
If you’re looking a year back to understand today’s pricing, you’re way behind the curve…. 🙂
