360.org domain was purchased for only $2,000 a year ago.
Sedo has completed the sale of 360.org for $25,500. The seller is likely to be familiar to people on DNForum, as active member “Acro” (Theo Develegas) flipped this domain for about a dozen times what he paid for it.
On his blog Acro.net, he details the negotiation process and how he’s thankful he didn’t sell the domain earlier. He listed the domain with a $6,000 reserve at a TRAFFIC auction, but the domain didn’t sell. Then he turned down a $10,000 offer:
Right before Christmas, the second inquiry started with a low offer of $2,000 via Sedo and ended at $10,000 with the bidder withdrawing their bid when I asked for more. Now, I am not one who shuns ten grand easily, as it represents a considerable amount of money; after the bidder canceled their round of offers I had that clutching feeling in my stomach thinking, “Did I just throw $10,000 in the garbage?â€
By working with Sedo, he was able to get the buyer to place another bid. After a bit of negotiation they settled on the $25,500 number. The domain is still in Sedo’s hands so the buyer’s name isn’t in the whois database yet.

Congratulations to Theo on a very successful negotiations.
Congrads to seller
Nice sale for theo
David, thank you for the dedicated post. It was an interesting exchange and I described it hoping that more domain sellers will gain confidence in their transactions. By the way, how did you find out the price; it’s not listed at Sedo.com as far as I can tell.
@ Acro – it’s Andrew, but that’s OK 🙂
Sedo distributes its sales data to me.
