Six figure offer made for French language .com domain name.
Mariage.com — a typo of Marriage but more importantly the French word for Wedding — has received a 92,000 EUR bid at Sedo. That’s about $130,000 USD. An auction for the domain name ends March 8.
Elsewhere in the domain auction world SnapNames is running its March feature auction. It includes primarily domains related to travel and entertainment. A few domains already have bids but the auction doesn’t end until March 8 as well.
Finally, Aftermarket.com appears to have had a successful auction today. It’s the first live auction on the “new” Aftermarket.com platform. According to numbers tallied at Domain Name News, the auction sold 33 of 64 domains for a total of $194,038.
The top sale was Coed.com at $45,000. I think I can speak for everyone when I say it’s nice to see this name sell. I think it’s been through every company’s live auctions at least once. Aftermarket.com finally found the right buyer at an acceptable price.
Do you think that was cheap for Coed.com Andrew ?
@ RH – given how many times this was offered for auction, and the reserve ranges, I don’t think it could be considered “cheap” — at least for domain investors.
Speaking of Sedo,
the French word for their interface is “Merde”.
Not surprise with the price, could end with a french wedding dress company or related business. Wedding is a daily event worldwide!
Just look at mariage.fr (france) they have things to sale.
I feel bad for Warren.
It sold at Traffic for $ 88k in June, 07.
It hurts to lose 50% after 3.5 yrs ownership.
I’m positive the buyer got a great buy.
Is it a testimonial that the domain is only
worth $ 45K? Or, is it a case of not enough
buyers following the auction?
@ Meyer – most domains bought at a TRAFFIC auction in 2007 would sell for a lot less now.
You’re right, it’s painful. But it’s also important to know when you should cut your losses.
Thanks for mentioning mariage.com, Andrew.
We hope March 8th will be the most beautiful day of the buyer’s life 🙂
Mariage.com: The investment in a domain for future vertical keyword development in French. The price seems very reasonable. It would seem there are still opportunities in fledgling online economies.
Good Day,
The domain name ivvah.com is available for sale $1900.
