NameMedia scores six figure domain name sale.
DNForum owner Adam Dicker has sold the domain name Pig.com for $125,000 with the help of NameMedia. Dicker purchased the domain name for $50,000 in 2006. In 2007 he was hit with a UDRP case brought by New Pig Corporation, but of course he prevailed in the case.
The company also sold one of its own domain names, Tortillas.net, for $9,300. If that looks familiar, it’s because the domain name sold through its listing on Sedo. NameMedia owns Afternic.com and BuyDomains, but also sells domain names through various other platforms.

Nice returns of $75,000 in 4 years. But he may have spent some money for the UDRP case.

Before you start calculating Adam’s ROI, you better include NM sales commission of 20%.
He netted $100K.
Therefore, he made $50K in gross profit in 4 yrs. on a $50K investment which is not bad.
visitor says
I thought Club,org was cheap at $ 7,500.
Andrew Rosener says
I think Pig.com is cheap at $125k.
Fantastic 3 letter .com.
This could be a top adult site overnight.
Would also make a PHENOMENAL branding campaign for the pork industry.
I registered GotPig.com several years ago just because I’m a huge pork fan. This name is probably not worth much if anything, but Pig.com would have a major impact.
Well done Adam.
