3-number domain names are in these days and their selling prices never cease to amaze me. 940.com sold on Sedo this week for $12,100. It will be interesting to see if these values can hold up forever for numerical domain names.

Now, in the world of 3-letter domain names a great one is currently up for auction at Sedo. With only 14 hours remaining on its 7-day auction, the 3-letter domain name cwi.com is currently priced at $13,500. This domain name is sure to go for higher. It’s tough enough getting your hands on a good 3-letter dot com, but even harder to get one that ends in an “i” — because the “i” could stand for inc., incorp, or incorporated. Take my own name, Craig Whitley Inc., boy how I would love to get my hands on this great domain name.

A sweet 2-letter dot net domain name, hm.net, is currently being acutioned on Sedo. With over 2 days left on the auction for hm.net, bidding is currently up to $12,000 for the domain. Presently its have 7 bids push it to this level.

AOV.com is super hot and has 20 bids on it thus far with 1 day and 12 hours left on its 7-day auction. The high bid currently sites at 7,100 Euros! Now how’s that for value?

TPO.com Sales for Disappointing $11,112 Dollars

Just when you thought 3-letter dot com’s were jumping to higher levels, in comes the surprise that TPO.com just sold on Sedo.com for $11,112. When you consider the fact that LPG.net sold for $10,000 on Sedo a year ago, along comes the shocker that TPO.com barely tops the sale of some 3-letter dot net domains made over the past year.

In other Sedo.com news, PopTheCork.com sold for $4,000, TruckCam.com sold for $8,000, Hockey360.com sold for $5,000, BlowTorches.com sold for $3,000 and BubbleRoom.com sold for $5,000.

Bigger domain name sales did occur. It wasn’t but just 2 weeks ago that TAZ.com sold for $40,000. When you compare that to the $11,112 sale of TPO.com, somehow things just don’t make sense. A big shocker also was the $150,000 sale of Bellevue.com — a geodomain no doubtedly aimed cover the daily affairs, news and going’s on of Bellevue, Washington, a city of 100,000.

Lastly, the finance domain name, Trust.com, sold on RickLatona.com for $75,000.

3-Letter Domain Name Sells for $40,000

Taz.com sold for $40,000 yesterday on Sedo.com. This is one of the higher selling prices we’ve witnessed in a while for a 3-letter domain. Most have been selling in the $20,000 to $30,000 range lately, but then again it depends on the letters. For a domain with a “z” in it to go for $40,000 is unusual, but then again “Taz” is a nickname, its short for Tazmania, its short for the Tazmanian Devil, its easy to remember and very brandable.

Other domains selling at notable prices include Posse.com – a single dictionary word domain which sold for $24,500 on Sedo.com. GotDirt.com sold for $4,600, Hightop.com sold for $2,500 and MyLifeID.com sold for $2,700.

Of note on Afternic.com was the sale off YourChat.com for $35,200. Bravo for the seller of that domain name. I would have never thought it woiuld have gone for that high of a price, but when you consider the value of social networking giant MySpace.com, a name like YourChat.com has tremendous upside potential.

Recent Domain Name Sales

Recent domain name sales that have garnered some pretty hefty prices included 2 domains sold at RickLatona.com.  They included MeetPeople.com that sold for $100,000 and Plums.com that sold for $26,000.  Of the two, some might would have though that a 5-letter dictionary word domain like Plums.com should have sold for more, but when you consider the high value placed on social networking sites and dating sites these days, you quickly come to realize that $100,000 for MeetPeople.com has the potential of becoming a bargain price for the person or company that purchased it.

Of the social networking domain names I personally own, I consider my eCliques.com to be the most valuable.  It has great potential for the right buyer with social networking and multiple community portal plans.  If anyone is interested in buying eCliques.com, I’ll consider offers provided they’re in the 5-figure range.  My InternetHighSchool.com has the potential to be a great social networking domain name with lots of montetization potential.  I visualize it being able to sell just about anything teenagers would be interested in, plus all the supplies and apparel associated with high school students, plus GED degrees, cheerleader supplies, etc.  I’m the original owner of InternetHighSchool.com and its got a clean history.

BathSafety.com sold for $33,725 on Moniker during the week of April 21, 2008, along with Go.org for $25,350 and OnlineFinancing.com for $17,500.  In a blindfold test no one would have ever guess that BathSafety would have sold for more than either Go.org or OnlineFinancing.com.  Of the three, I feel OnlineFinancing.com has the bigger and more profitable audience, but its up against stiff competition in the online financing arena, whereas BathSafety.com is a great domain name that accurately describes a very narrow but lucrative market niche.

The top domain name sold on Moniker/TRAFFIC during the week of April 21 was actually SearchEngines.com, which sold for $92,500.  I would have thought it would have gone for higher.  A great one-word d0main name that sold was Winnings.com — which sold for $27,000 on Moniker/CAC.  Okay, I give up — why didn’t Winnings.com sell for a higher price?  I think that domain was worth so much more than $27,000.  This is living proof that you need to develop your domain names if you want to get maximum value.  You can’t always hold out for name alone.

On the 3-letter domain name front, MNO.com (a super 3-letter domain) sold on Sedo.com for $18,250, while HD2.com sold for $15,000 on Afternic.  Would someone please give me an education via comment.  I must be getting old or else I’m asleep at the wheel.  For the life of me I’m not sure I know what and HD2 is — do you? 

Dot Info (.info) Domain Name Rockets to $21,500

Who says .info domain names are not worth much.  Printer.info is currently for sale on a 7-day auction at Sedo.com and with 4 days and 3 hours left it has one bid of $21,500.  The reserve price has already been met.  Now what this tells me is that some negotiating has already taken place on this domain, and once the bidder finally reached his highest price, or what the seller thought was the highest price, the seller pushed the domain name into a 7-day auction.  Personally, I can see the value in this domain name, but not $21,500 big ones.  It wouldn’t be surprising to see this domain coast through 7 days with no additional bids. 

Of interest to 3-letter dot com collectors is two 7-day auctions currently at Sedo.com with over 5 days left.  MNO.com is another single-bid auction with the bid price currently at $13,500.  SEU.com has 8 bids and currently sitting at $12,500.

2 years ago I could have registered all the 3-number numerical names I wanted for $6 to $7 each, depending on the registrar.  They were easy to find.  Not any more, as the value of 2 and 3 letter numerical domains are running at record high levels these days.  Need some examples?  Try 736.com, which is being sold on Sedo.com and with 3 days and 10 hours left on the auction has 13 bids with the high bid price currently at $6,300.  Also on Sedo is a couple of 2-number dot net domains, 30.net and 79.net.  Both currently have 1 bid each of 7,000 Euros.  It’s going to be interesting to see how these domain names settle or close out.
