Moniker Sells Tshirts.com For $1.265 Million
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Ahead of Wednesday’s auction, Moniker brokers blockbuster domain name sale.
Moniker has sold Tshirts.com and four other related domains prior to Wednesday’s auction for $1.265 million. The domains include tee-shirts.com, t-shirt.com, t-shirts.com, and tees.com.
The buyer is Costumes Galore Inc., which is apparently making a push into the t-shirt business.
Separately, I’m aware of another Moniker sale for $736,000, but the domain name will not be disclosed.
This is certainly a good start ahead of Moniker’s main auction tomorrow. The auction includes a number of six and seven figure domain names. The sale of just a couple of these big ones can make the auction a success.
Nice.
Excellent!
Great job Moniker.
This was a money making site/business — from what brokers told me.
I expect the buyer will receive a decent ROI, in addition to owning instant market share with these top domains.
Congrats to all

Moniker is on a roll… big sale… this must be the one chef cooked up
Nice domains. Properly developed it should give a decent ROI to the buyer.
your headline says TShirts.com and then in the article it mentions the 5 domains sold and none of them are TShirts.com
Thats a big sale ,great job finding the end-user with the cash.
@nr – I typed this post on my phone during a Moniker event here in NYC. I have updated the story to mention to show tshirts.com in the story. Thanks
Nice work Moniker -

Nice work. I wonder if they’d be interested in these three t-shirt names in my portfolio: AlternativeTshirts.com, BackstageTshirts.com, ChopperTshirts.com, NYtshirts.com.
@chrisco,
None of those domains you’ve listed for sale are worth more than the reg fee. I’d let them expire unless you’re planning on developing them yourself. Good luck.
any ideas what will be the worth of ShirtsTshirts.com after this sale?
Sid,
Reg fee.
Hey Sid,
I don’t think that it works that way. But it is definetely worth much more than Reg Fee
James,
To make that statement shows us all that you have absolutely no experience in the domaining game…none.
It was a good sale, but in this space, I’m not sure the domain name alone is going to be enough to do it.
The company that owned the domain name actually ran a whole physical business selling t-shirts (pre printed and custom printed). The previous owners “got it” and bought the domains in the aftermarket and worked hard to promote the business using the domains and it still didn’t work out.
They are great domains to be sure, but domains aren’t everything
Congrats Moniker!
The new owners own HalloweenCostumes.com…. they must know what they’re doing.
Yea they REALLY know what they’re doing Bill Smith
