NameMedia Scores with Ticket.com, Luck.com, and WV.com

Monday, October 12th, 2009

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.
