The domain name aftermarket is back with a vengeance.
Perhaps it’s just a blip on the radar, but the domain name aftermarket appears to be popping back into action.
Last week online broker Sedo closed nearly $1.25M USD in disclosed transactions (you can bet the non-disclosed transactions tacks on quite a bit). The top sale was Top.com for $357,500 EUR (about $455,000 USD), an auction Domain Name Wire reported on in January. The buyer was in Russia. The seller’s whois information has been protected for a couple years, but appears to have a post office box in Dubai.
Sedo also closed the sale of Anwalt.com for 52,000 EUR ($66,000 USD), Campings.fr for 35,000 EUR ($44,000 USD), and SexCamera.nl for 32,500 EUR ($41,000 USD).

Some impressive results for domains that don’t exactly leap off the page as being that great. Not sure if the recent Live conference auctions could have garnered these results. Is DNW’s take on this, is that these are largely end-user sales?
Andrew Allemann says
Marg – majority are to other investors

I was not aware of the value of ccTLDs in the aftermarket!!
would you recommend investing in the newbies such as .tv, .jobs, .tel, .travel…etc??
Domainer says
wow, I wouldn’t even pay $10 for some of these, it’s funny how some of these get sold for such high prices.
len says
Would love to know EXACTLY where and how these names are listed and sold on Sedo.
