Phrase.com, Radix.com among domain purchases.
Uniregistry has begun publishing some of its top monthly domain name sales. The company released its first batch for July. Keep in mind that many of the top domains are excluded from the list due to non-disclosure agreements.
Like I do for my Sedo end user reports, I reviewed the top sales to find out who bought the domains. Some are now resolving to new websites, some still point to old sales landers, and it seems investors also snapped up some of the names.
Here they are:
bestdeals.com – $105,000 – Namecheap Whois privacy, does not resolve.
katie.com – $100,000 – Uniregistry privacy, resolves to Uniregistry parked page.
phrase.com – $75,000 – Phrase is a software translation management company that upgraded its domain from PhraseApp.com to Phrase.com. (I recently acquired SoftwareTranslation.com)
knots.com – $69,350 – Knots is a Melbourne, Australia-based shoe designer.
radix.com – $48,000 – No, the new top level domain company didn’t buy a .com. Bi:Radix, a market survey company, bought it to forward to its website BiRadix.com.
profix.com – $38,000 – Uniregistry whois only shows an owner in New Jersey. The domain resolves to a Uniregistry lander.
ninemonths.com – $40,000 – Uniregistry privacy. The domain forwards to a lander on CategoryDefining.com.
gpgroup.com – $28,520 – Enom Whois privacy. The domain resolves to a website saying the site is under renovation. It has a logo for GPGroup and a rather generic description.
poema.com – $26,000 – 1&1 Whois privacy. The domain resolves to a Sedo lander.
toha.com – $27,500 – The Whois briefly changed to “System Admin” in Florida but is now under GoDaddy privacy. It still resolves to a Uniregistry lander.
ruby.cn – $22,000 – A HiChina Whois record and it doesn’t resolve.
kanga.com – $20,000 – Namecheap Whois privacy. The domain doesn’t resolve but the buyer moved it to AWS servers. I thought it might be the owner of BuyKanga.com but they use GoDaddy’s default servers for their website. GetKanga.com uses AWS so my money is on that one.
namegenerator.com – $20,000 – Uniregistry Whois privacy. Resolves to Uniregistry lander. Surely a domain company bought it?
roomrent.com – $20,000 – Uniregistry Whois privacy. Does not resolve.
golfsuperstore.com $20,000 – PJLJ Enterprises, Inc is starting a golf store on Shopify using this domain.
greentone.com – $20,000 – Whois shows Joannie Sauvageau in Quebec, Canada. A couple of people with this name in Quebec pop up on LinkedIn.
nse.co – $17,000 – NSE Products Inc in Utah. A google search returns some corporate filings.
cabello.com – $16,800 – NEOCOS Laboratorios SL is a hair cosmetics company in Spain. Cabello means hair in Spanish.
officeinteriors.com $16,500 – An office furniture company forwards this domain to its website oimemphis.com.
lsd.co $15,000 – Uniregistry Whois lists Australia as the location of the buyer.
Uniregistry or Uni……..? I am so confused LOL
Seems like they only broker names that bring in big$$$$ so they can get more kickbacks.
Huh?
What I am saying is they don’t want to be bothered brokering/selling pigeon shit domains when they have premium domains in their portfolio.
If they have one word domains , of course they will try to sell those instead of mediocre domains- more ROI.
Well, as the post points out, these are the *top* sales of the month. They brokered many smaller ones. Their average is under $10k. Also worth pointing out that they handle inbound inquiries. They’ll even handle those for a $500 domain.
why broker pigeon shit domains …waste of time and resources.
Go for the premium ones, more $$$$$ going in their pockets. Business is Business.
Cater to the RICH!!
Uniregistry released a colossal sales report for Q1 2018 that is so big you need to also view an attached PDF:
http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2018/20180502.htm
Ron Jackson reported that they sold 546 domains in the $2,000 to $9,500 range.
Uniregistry does not just focus on spectacular big ticket sales. I have sold 16 domains on the Uni Market so far this year, and ten were for $2,000 or below. The brokerage works hard whether the deal is big or small.

“The company brokered 5,445 domains for a total of $50.1 million last year [2018], up from $38.9 million in 2017.”
