not sure if it the first time they beat Sedo for weekly sales, slowly but surely they have come a long ways from the old Afternic.
Congrats!

Well, these sales look a bit meatier than we’ve seen for a while. Interesting the number of exact name matches in the .com that seemed to be on offer. Glad that they were just purchased and not wrestled to the mat waiting for another maybe / maybe not UDRP decision..

I can’t believe how domain owners just give away their domains to these corps.
They can pay a lot more.
nobody says
^^ it was BIN priced for sure

“just give away their domains to these corps”
Many of the domains sold were owned by NameMedia. They need to turn inventory to stay very profitable.
It is easier to sell a new corvette for $ 25k instead of $60k. Especially if the dealer only pays $5k for them.
As they say in business – “turn inventory”.

Hello,
I own the domain theavengers2themovie.com and am in the process of selling it. At the moment, one person has offered 15K for it. I’m sure I could get a better offer, especially when theavengersthemovie.com directs visitors to marvel.com. Do you think theavengers2themovie.com is worth more than what I’ve been offered? I still have plenty of time to listen and receive other bids considering The Avengers 2 won’t be released until 2015.
Thank you for your feedback.
Andrew Allemann says
@ jpalomares – your domain is worth ($100,000), and those parenthesis mean “negative”.
jpalomares says
Just for clarification purposes. Are you saying that it’s not worth more that what was offered?
Andrew Allemann says
@ jpalomares – I’m saying the movie studio can sue you and ask you to pay $100k. I’d get rid of the domain as fast as you can.
jpalomares says
I’ll consult with an attorney before making a decision regarding that domain. Thank you for you feedback.
