Is it just me or do these end user purchases se cheap?
They sound about the same that they typically are…majority are sub $2,000.
very cheap!!.- imagine the face of the seller when he knows who was the buyer….if I have to buy a domain to sell at $ xxxx’m lost..
>>St. John Cantius Church bought Cantius.com for $1,800; it already owns the .com<<
So the church purchased the domain name from itself? lol
Whoops…should say already owns the .org.
It’s hard to get away from .com!
My guess is this is what happens when you own a million domains, and need to make overheads…
Names like wingscape.com for $1K that is cheap… HealthLane.com for under $3K is cheap as well…MediaWolf.com to CBS for $2,500 OUCH
THUMBS DOWN to BuyDomains for selling so cheap
Wingscape.com was a different seller. The prices seem fair to me.
Your selling your domains to cheap Allan, Selling similar domains in the $5-10K range, not sure what others are doing, but I pick up the phone, and talk, and close the deal.
Sure, these sellers could sell a number of domains in the $5k-$10k range. But they’d sell a lot fewer of them than they’re selling now in the $1k-$3k range.
Interesting – thanx! Maybe I’ll email a couple of these end users about a dot com or two in my portfolio they might be interested in . . .
MaplePharmacy.com shows a create date of Sep 2. Thought it looked familiar, I think maybe I saw it on the drops recently. Quick flip for someone.
Registrar create date and registry create date differ. I suspect it was just transferred on Sept 2. Looks like HugeDomains owned it for a couple years.
some good sales there. Some of the enduser companies would’ve perhaps paid a little more though
