Ten notable sales including an end user purchase on NameJet.com.
NameJet has released sales data from last month, which excludes the NameJet auction held in Las Vegas last week. It was a fairly slow month with 103 domains selling for over $2,000 that totaled $459,000.
Here are ten sales that caught my attention.
These.com $15,000 – Visually it’s a great brand, but I wonder if you tell someone to check out “these.com” if they’ll give you a funny look.
CloudPass.com $12,500 – This was a true drop and an end user purchase. The buyer is CloudPass Limited.
ZSV.com $11,100 – This is a pretty bad three-letter domain, so I’d look at this price as a floor for three-letter domain names. Note that zsv.net ($530) and zsv.org ($427) have also sold on NameJet in the past couple years.
CryptoICOs.com $8,255 – Right now any crypto domain that goes through an auction cycle is getting lots of attention. Will the hard crash affect this?
Bloated.com $4,999 – Seems like the perfect domain for a drug company.
CardMember.com $4,655 – A common term in the credit card business. I get lots of robocalls from scam “Card member services”…it’s a game of whack-a-mole.
Mammoth.net $4,400 – That’s a mammoth price, but this domain was registered in 1996.
StreetMaps.com $3,000 – A pretty good deal, although the terms used to refer to street maps might be changing.
SpeedRead.com $2,935 – Fantastic domain name to offer speed reading courses.
Bandwidth.net $2,588 – One of those domains in which .net makes a lot of sense.

another interesting NameJet sale is the one I made. “Updater.Net” registered since 1999. What makes it interesting is that the process was very quiet. Somehow I managed to backorder it, & was the only bidder.
Any Ideas how much I should sell it for? Not looking to get rich from this one domain. Just your pro opinion would help.
I have been a domainer since Aug-2017 & have sold one domain for $650.
Trying to make another sale.
Thanks

You were the only bidder most likely because no other domain investor wanted to own Updater.net, including the one that let it drop. It’s unlikely that an end user will want to own Updater.net as well.
Don’t worry, you are in good company as I made the same mistake today: I was the only bidder on a one word .com and got it for $25 using DropCatch’s bargain bidding feature. The problem is, it’s a very unusual word that nobody really uses in the English language. So, nobody is likely to ever buy it from me even though I only paid $25 for in a competitive bidding situation. In reality, I never should have put even the $25 on it because more than likely it will be $25 wasted. I plan to put it up for sale for a few hundred dollars, sure, but I am also going to turn off autorenew at the registrar and let it drop again in one year. Mistake made, lesson learned, moving on.

Logan,
Thanks for sharing. I do have an interested end user who hasn’t agreed to my price but is still interested & I will of course give a better price, but when the Enom 42 day auction lock is over.
Make mistakes, learn & move on. Agreed. Always.
Good luck selling your domain.

I wonder why is zsv.com such a “pretty bad three-letter domain”. I thought it’s quite nice and brandable.
Andrew Allemann says
Two reasons:
1. Uncommon letters for company names in the Western world.
2. ‘V’ is not a favored letter in China.
