German coffee domain name Kaffee.de sells for €200,000

by Andrew Allemann — September 7, 2017 Domain Sales 1 Comment

German coffee domain name sells for twice what it sold for in 2014.

OPAG GmbH, a coffee wholesale distribution specialist, has acquired the domain name Kaffee.de through Sedo for €200,000. Kaffee is German for coffee.

According to Namebio, this is the tenth highest publicly reported sale in Germany’s .de domain name of all time and the highest since 2014.

This is the second time Sedo has sold the domain name Kaffee.de. It sold the domain name for €100,000 in 2014, and now double that amount three years later.

Sedo broker Frank Tillmanns handled the sale.

More end user domain sales up to $75,000 including Heathrow Airport

by Andrew Allemann — September 6, 2017 Domain Sales 0 Comments

Heathrow Airport was among the groups buying domain names on Sedo this past week.

Heathrow Airport bought a domain name related to its expansion.

This week’s top public sale at Sedo was Netlife.com for $75,000. Although the buyer is not yet known, I’m putting my money on a Norwegian company called Netlife Research.

An augmented reality company also made a sizeable purchase, and Heathrow Airport bought a domain for its airport expansion.

Here’s the list of end user domain name sales I uncovered at Sedo from the past week:

(You can view previous lists like this here.)

NetLife.com $75,000 – Even though I’m not entirely sure who bought this domain (it’s still in escrow), this is surely an end user sale. The seller is domain investor Satoshi Shimoshita, the guy who had the valuable CM.com domain taken from him. There are lots of companies that use the name NetLife. The technical contact has moved to a domain company in Norway, so perhaps it’s the company Netlife Research which uses the domain NetlifeResearch.com. [Update: the domain has transferred and my educated guess was correct.]

MyXR.com $17,000 – The domain has Whois privacy and a landing page that says “Augmenting Soon”. In this case, XR probably stands for Extended Reality, which includes Augmented Reality.

Thermatec.com $7,500 – Thermatec Instrumentation & Controls Inc is an industrial equipment company.

MaxxLife.com $6,400 – Marketing company Complete Spectrum, Inc. bought this domain name. It might be for a client.

Daeco.com £5,500 – A South Korean company called Daeco that uses the domain Daeco.co.kr

Wefix.co.uk €5,000 – Ridown Ltd is a business incubator. Right now the domain forwards to a simple page that says “We Fix”.

MadeInTheStates.com $5,000 – Content marketing/influencer marketing company Issue Inc. They might use it for a campaign about products made in the U.S.

Omnicura.com $4,025 – Omnicura Clinics is coming soon, but we know little more than that.

Crypto.pro $3,500 – The site has already been put to use as a cryptocurrency forum.

Corka.com €3,500 – A1 Rubber manufactures a flooring surface called Corka.

HeathrowExpansion.com £2,000 – Last week I reported the sale of HeathrowExpansion.co.uk to a UK web design company. It turns out it bought the domain on behalf of the Heathrow Airport. Now the airport has purchased the matching .com.

Evollove.com $2,000 – Evollove Group Limited in Hong Kong is a wedding, floral and exhibition planning company.

10 Notable NameJet Sales from August

by Andrew Allemann — September 5, 2017 Domain Sales 0 Comments

A low month but some notable sales.

NameJet sold 65 names greater than $2,000 for a total of only $333k last month. That’s a lot less dollar value than usual (about half). I gather the low number is for a couple reasons. First, August is a slow month because a lot of people are on vacation. Second, there was the shill bidding issue in July and canceled auctions as a result of it.

There were still a number of notable sales. Here are ones that caught my eye.

Ditan.com $27,821 – It was bought by someone in China, so my guess is this has something to do with Ditan Park, not the migraine drug.

ArganOil.com $13,255 – I had to look this one up. It’s an oil that people dip bread it and is also used in cosmetics.

Emojis.com $26,100 – People are wasting a lot of money on emoji domain names, but the emoji ecosystem is very strong.

Miho.com $7,500 – This is a Japanese name and is also used by some companies.

Chard.com $7,255 – Someone who’s last name is Chard owns it now.

Dispensers.com $4,288 – Not to be confused with Dispensaries.

MarketMakers.com $3,279 – A big financial and economic term.

YouTubd.com $2,494 – How many visits do you think this typo gets?

CSR.org $2,312 – CSR is common shorthand for Customer Service Representative.

BitcoinTechnology.com $2,109 – It wouldn’t be a sales list without a crypto currency domain!

More end user domain name sales

by Andrew Allemann — August 23, 2017 Domain Sales 0 Comments

A law firm, lottery company and other end users bought domain names last week.

My list of end user domain name sales from Sedo over the past week is short. Many domains that seem like end user buys have Whois privacy and aren’t resolving to a website yet, so it’s difficult to categorize them as end user sales.

The top sale I can peg to an end user is Justice4All.com, a domain purchased by a law firm. Let’s get to the list…

(You can view previous lists like this here.)

Justice4All.com $15,000 – Law Offices of John M. Phillips in Florida. They use the domain FloridaJustice.com.

Format.net $10,000 – It seems that the buyer is the owner of Format.com. Format.com is an online portfolio service for artists.

LottoAmerica.com €6,700 – Lottery Company Limited in Great Britain. This name instantly rang a bell because it was the name of a multi-state lottery many decades ago. It appears it is being relaunched in some fashion.

TurboCasino.com €4,900 – Online gaming company Lux Entertainment.

CellArt.com $4,830 – CellArt is a wine company. It uses the domain CellArt.ca.

WishMobile.com €3,100 – The owner of WishMobile.net. WishMobile.net forwards to LinkWish.com, a web design firm.

Orlando.co.uk £9,825 – U.S. Rent A Car Ltd is a car hire company that caters to UK and European travelers.

Hire.eu $5,000 – Jobs.bg returned to the aftermarket

LBB.co $3,000 – Iluminar Media Pvt uses the domain name LBB.in.

BrandBucket releases domain name sales data

by Andrew Allemann — August 22, 2017 Domain Sales 7 Comments

Company releases sales data…for last year.

BrandBucket released some sales data about 2016 today. Yes, we’re talking about data from last year so it’s a bit tardy.

The brandable domain marketplace sold 1,017 domains for an average price of $3,070, so sales totaled over $3.1 million. The median sales price (the most useful metric for sellers) was $2,295.

14.5% of sales were to repeat buyers.

238 people sold domains on BrandBucket last year and 51 of them had four or more sales.

The company also announced today that it is selling more premium domains after lowering its commissions for them. It has completed three six-figure transactions with more in the works.
