Go Daddy cracks the five figure mark with three digit domain.
Go Daddy Auctions, still often referred to as TDNAM in domainer circles, is known for selling a high volume of domains but rarely very valuable ones. This past week was an exception as 778.com traded hands on the platform for $23,000.
Unlike many domains that sell at GoDaddy, this wasn’t an expired domain auction. It was an offer/counter-offer transaction.
Many of the domains at Go Daddy sell for good prices thanks to existing traffic, but 778.com likely sold because of the popularity of number domain names in Asia. 778 is also an area code in Vancouver.
This is the highest price sale I’ve seen come across from Go Daddy in at least a couple months. Other sales this past week include:
NationalGunForum.com $5,500
HomeSaving.com $4,000
LeadersIn.com $2,300
iBatteries.com $1,900
MetalGearSolid.org $1,700
Lounging.com $1,600
AlgenWeb.us $1,083
Dizajn.biz $1,005
Gardenal.org $1,005
BethMessiah.org $1,000
[Update: To clarify, these are sales from Go Daddy Auctions. The company sells a lot of domains for good prices through other channels, including Premium Listings, that are not disclosed.]

For the quality of the numbers the price seems low. I think this could be flipped for more.
Tim says
GoDaddy sells a ton of domains that never get reported b/c they are not listed.
Sales from the “Premium Listings” are not published, nor are many of the Executive Account facilitated sales.
My GD Executive Account rep. told me he personally has done several seven figure sales that nobody knows about. These are usually ones sold by domainers to deep pocket investors. 🙂
