Travel domain sells for $50,000 to lead Go Daddy sales last month.
Go Daddy Auctions is reporting 32,767 domain names sold in December.
The top sale was VisitSanFrancisco.com, a domain sold by Marchex. The $50,000 purchase was made by San Francisco Travel Association, which owns SanFrancisco.travel.
Other top sales include:
league.com $40,005
zodia.com $35,421
silvergate.com $22,000 – purchased by Silvergate Bank in Southern California. The bank’s site is SilvergateBank.com.

loans.info $12,205
Cancer.info and Loans.info were part of the Afilias .info auction. The domains were claimed as part of the .info sunrise over a decade ago, but the trademark claims were later ruled invalid.
As always, “Online” was by far the most popular term included in sold domains.

32,767 ?
It sounds like someone’s integer field hit the limit.
Andrew Allemann says
It should have been followed by “domains”. I fixed it.

well spotted john. in a world of mediocrity it’s great to occasionally see some brilliance.
John Berryhill says
“It should have been followed by “domains”.”
The question is whether the number is correct. 32767 is the highest signed 16 bit integer, and its appearance in a result usually indicates an error of some kind.
Andrew Allemann says
Ah, OK.
Given that GD usually sells between 32k-33k domains, I suspect it’s correct.
That said, they often adjust the number as final closings come in.
