Sumo.com leads the list of domains sold above $35,000 during the month of May.  It sold on Sedo.com last week.  But here’s a real suprise for you.  MrytleBeachCondos.com sold for $120,107 on Moniker.com.   Can you believe that one folks?  Sure, I see great value in that domain name, but $120,000 worth! 

Shreveport.com, named after a city I once lived in for 15 years, was sold on RickLatona.com for $70,000 in May.  The number domain, 249.com, sold for a whopping $92,000 on Sevent.com.  That one buckled my knees.  I can’t tell you how any times I had an opportunity to buy a number domain 5 years ago and thought “Who would want a number over a name?”  Reminds me of the time in 1981 I had $19,000 to blow and thought — “Should I buy Microsoft or invest in a computer store?”  Yep, you guessed it — I put all the money in the computer store, shutting it down 6 months later for lack of sales.  That little 19 grand would be worth over $6 million dollars today.

GiftRegistry.com sold for $64,000 on Sedo last week.  You can see how that domain name will be used, a great one at that!  A private sale of WallStreet.info went for $25,000 — a super sell for a .info domain name.  Lastly, Anonymous.net sold on Sedo for $35,000 — not bad for a dot net domain name.

As noted in prior posts, I personally own approximately 4,500 domain names.  There’s one thing I can say about owning so many domains, and that is its impossible to remember all the good ones you have.  I own many that are catchy, memorable, easy to say, easy to pronounce, one-word and two-word — you name it.  But frankly, it takes a very long time to screen the list and the larger the list, the more difficult it becomes to establish or determine what is likely to sell quickly and what takes a time to sell it.

I’ll give you a few examples of what I’m talking about.  I will use actual domain names I own.  Take for example WorkingCat.com — owned for some time now and it still gets lots of hits at a cash parking site.   I’ve never tried to market this domain name and the longer I keep it the more I fall in love with it.   And God is it popular.  With just a one-page cash parking site it will average about 500 to 550 hits per month.   My asking price for WorkingCat.com is $1,000 if you have an interest in buying it.

Down the traffic curve a ways are my domain names YourHype.com and QuickBillion.com.  These domain names don’t get a lot of traffic as one-page cash parking sites, but they are catchy and people come to each often as a result of typing in the domain name, as opposed to finding them via search engine.  My asking price for each of these domian names is $600.

More to my 2-word domain name liking is a couple of other domain names I own - GoFones.com and TexasSUV.com.  The first would be a great domain name for a cell phone seller, while the latter is an excellent domain name for a custom SUV shop, for example.  My asking price for GoFones.com is $500 and my asking  price for TexasSUV.com is $250.  If you care to bid on any of these 6 domain names please send my your bid and contact info via the online form.
