Someone Caught Great Deal at Flippa; How Is This Domain Venue Performing for You?

February 26, 2018 By John Colascione 18 Comments

NEW YORK, NY - Someone landed a fantastic deal on Flippa this weekend. Amazingly, I lost the auction despite my accidental astronomical one-too-many zero’s high-bid. I’m not going to mention what domain it was (to avoid any politics on the issue), [all luck to the winner who got a great deal] but the domain name was a single word .com highly-commercial term with an Estibot well over $200,000.00 and it sold for about 9 percent of that. Not a .net domain selling for 9%, but … [Read more...]

January 21, 2018 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

Although there are some losses on record here, the majority, 68% (194) of all 286 … [Read more...]

Round Two: .COM Domain Values List, “Domainer Domains”, Not Much Change

January 16, 2018 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

NEW YORK, NY - Yesterday, we looked at how some commercial interest .com domain names have changed in value over the last decade. There really was not too much to see with about half of the domain names going up in value  (46%) and half going down (51%). I guess it is fair to say that more declined than went up, but it was pretty close to even. Today I wanted to look at domains with less commercial value, so we will looked at pure domainer domains.  This list examines 35 … [Read more...]

(Data gathered from a list of every .com domain name on record at NameBio which sold more than once in the past 10 years).

Why I Told My “New gTLD” Project to “Suck It” – Will Rebrand with King of all URLs

NEW YORK, NY - It takes a lot for a guy like me to give-up on a project or otherwise throw-in-the-towel, especially when I am not even sure how hard I really tried to begin with, but I like to be two steps ahead, and I like to work smart, not hard.

Two years ago, when .cars domains … [Read more...]
