Here are 11 domains that end users bought through Uniregistry recently.
Uniregistry is providing its top 20 public sales each week. I reviewed the lists from the past two weeks to find the end user domain sales. I’m sure there are more, but many of the domains have obscured Whois records and don’t resolve to a website yet.
Veggie.com $25,000 – Skanerka sp. z o. o. is a Polish company that offers the Veggie app for vegans. The .com forwards to its website at Veggie.pl.
Paperflow.com $11,000 – Bilagscan is a document scanning technology company. I suspect it is either rebranding or this will be the name of a new product.
GoldenMaple.com $7,000 – The Dubai buyer identifies itself as Golden Maple. The site resolves to a GoDaddy holding page.
Laylo.com $7,000 – The Whois record shows only that the registrant is in California. I’m betting it’s the guy who applied for the Laylo trademark for two (oddly different) classes of service. He owns Laylo.co and Laylo.fm.
ReddingInsurance.com $6,000 – A Boise, Idaho insurance company named after its owner, LeRoy Redding. It forwards to his website EZInsurance.com.
Ondina.com $5,300 – The buyer is technology consulting company Consul S.r.l.. I’m not sure what the domain means to it.
ArmyAnts.com $5,000 – Wooyang Co, Ltd sells petrochemical, power, and fine chemical plant equipment. I’m not sure why it wants this domain.
Accorn.com $5,000 – Accorn is a venture capital group within a company called Spirit Invest.
TheCaribou.com $5,000 – TI Media owns a number of publications. The Caribou might be the next.
FabricByTheYard.com $4,800 – Missouri Quilt Company is forwarding this domain to its website.
WireBasket.com $4,000 – This is an exact match product name for the owners of RackAndShelf.com, a site that sells exactly what its domain suggests.

Is this supposed to be impressive?
We don’t announce sales at Epik, but I personally sold Tussi.com for $30,000 this week. Moments ago sold a comparable brandable name for a client nearly $50,000.
The Epik SSL landers are crushing it by the way. They are free — anyone can get them and we even help our customers close deals.
Moments ago we closed a sales for a customer for another $30K — the buyers funded their transaction with 2 Amex card payments.
All in a day’s work.

I don’t know if it’s supposed to be impressive or not. These are just the end user sales I could find. If you want to send over all of the sales you make each week, I’m happy to look through for the end user sales. I suspect Uni and Sedo sell a lot more, but I’d love to get yoru data.

Thanks Andrew.
We don’t post sales. It has never been our practice to post sales as we think most clients don’t benefit from this. I am happy to share best practices with domain investors for how to get bigger sales, using personal anecdotes, but otherwise I doubt we’ll start posting client sales.
I know on some private Telegram channels some folks are sharing about six figure sales but I don’t see these sales get mentioned in the blogs so I assume the folks who did those deals were not looking for publicity either.
The very simple synopsis is this:
1. The rich are getting richer.
2. The poor are getting more desperate.
This is a sad thing but it is a fact. It is a great time to be a dropcatcher, a broker, a holder with staying power.
When it comes to selling, forget about outbound. Sit tight on quality 1 and 2 word names that make sense as brands or company names.
1. Power domains with SEO-friendly SSL landers.
2. Ask for outlandish prices
3. When they balk, offer a LEASE or payment plan.
4. If they won’t lease or finance, invite them to declare their max budget and see if that makes sense.
One really unique thing about Epik is that we are helping customers close deals. If someone gets an offer on Epik, we can help with lead qualification and negotiation.
We are working on processes that allow this to scale so that more folks have life-changing domain sales. They are more common than most people probably realize!

Great post discussion Andrew & Rob – Many Thanks!
I just looked at Epic marketplace & landers hoping to improve performance over Uni. Look good but the (demo) disclaimer says:
Domain Purchase
– The domain is delivered instantly upon purchase.
– You may transfer the domain to any registrar after 60 days. (ICANN policy requires a delay on transfers after ownership changes.)
Can we adjust to:
– The domain is delivered instantly upon purchase, and can be used immediately.
Keep the 60-day delay citation, but without changing the line above it, end users might believe nothing can be done for 60 days.
