NameMedia turning in some blockbuster sales.
What’s going on at NameMedia, which runs BuyDomains and Afternic? They usually sell domains for under $5,000. Sure, they sell some more expensive ones, but we rarely hear about them.
The first bombshell was the sale of Ticket.com for $1.525 million. Personally, I don’t understand why this domain is worth so much, but my hats off to the sale. (Tickets.com is worth a lot, but Ticket.com is worth much less).
Then the company sold WV.com for $145,000, another strong sale.
Now it also appears the company sold Luck.com for $675,000. That sale came across Afternic’s domain sales RSS feed a few days ago. I’ve been trying to confirm it with both NameMedia and the seller, but neither have responded. The domain was owned by a Florida man, but its whois record changed to privacy on October 8. [UPDATE: NameMedia has confirmed the sale of Luck.com.]
So that’s $2.345 million in big sales on just three domains. At a typical median price of $1,200, that’s equivalent to nearly 2,000 of NameMedia’s typical domain sales. Not bad.

I would like to see it running as a business.
We’ll see.

It amazes me that four years later ticket.com doesn’t even resolve.
