RNX.com and BRH.com were registered way back in February of 1996. Both names were left to expire and their auctions at GoDaddy closed today. RNX.com closed at $41,500 and BRH.com closed at $39,550.

YDS.com expired and closed at DropCatch for $77,500. The domain name previously traded back in 2010 at $7,171 at NameJet. Not a lot of acronyms for YDS, but some use as a short form of yards.

Austin Petersmith created quite the buzz when last night he posted on X that Howie.com was acquired for $1.2M. Just 15 minutes ago or 15 hours later, he posted this was a joke. So how much it sold for remains a mystery. Thanks to Kyle Tully who mentioned on Namepros that the name was available […] The post Howie.ai acquires Howie.com appeared...
SGZ.com was registered back in 2000 and was left to expire, the 3L.com closed at $18,250 at GoDaddy auctions. The domain name is registered at Name.com not GoDaddy so the registrant might still be able to renew. The domain name was parked for over a decade so this looks to have been a domain investor […] The post SGZ.com expires and closes at...

Andy Booth posted on X that the seller of Convergence.ai asked him to report a couple other .ai sales he made. H1.ai for $100,000 and MetaMedia.ai for $18,500.

Invent.ai sold for $94,900 on Namecheap around a year ago. I never noticed that they had a local to me, Philadelphia office which I came across over the weekend.

Brady from Unstoppable Domains posted that they had another record breaking week for .com registrations at their registrar. $5 .coms is certainly the kind of promo that gets domain investors' attention.

Michael Cyger created a fun little tool for domain name renewals that might double as comedy relief. These are the actual renewal rates for mostly new gtlds. Obviously legacy extensions such as .com, .net and .org do not have premium renewal fees. One poster pointed out that the tool does not include .ws which has […] The post Looking for dom...
Brad Mugford made a post on X about a person who repeatedly emailed him about acquiring a domain name. The replies to the post are varied. For me it underlies the problem of cold emailing another domain investor about a domain name. You cannot follow the same principles that email marketers use when doing outbound […] The post Outbounding dom...
The interest in numeric .tv seems to continue especially for the unique repeating number names. 999.tv closed at $38,000 on 1/28 at GoDaddy. Today 3333.tv closed at $11,250. In the same auction environment, (GoDaddy auctions) three years ago it sold for $4,900. So quite the increase in three years. Now we have to see if […] The post 3333.tv c...

A strong German keyword was left to expire Finanzen.com (Finances) and closed at $51,000 at GoDaddy auctions. The domain name is not registered at GoDaddy so there might be some time left to renew like with what happened last month's Mechanical.com six figure close. Finanzen.com was registered in 1996. DotDB.com shows 103 extensions registered. Fin...

999.tv sold for $1,750 way back in 2011 at Sedo. Numeric .tvs have been of interest to some domain investors. Usually when I see a domain wanted ad for .tv they want numerics. NN and NNN. So it looks like someone goofed by letting their 999.tv expire and if it gets paid GoDaddy will pocket […] The post 999.tv closes at $38,000 at GoDaddy appe...
It was a battle between Sharma and Whaler33, one for the ages, Spend.com closes at $802,500. Closes do not say sold, it still has to be paid before we can say sold for $802,500. Who was NoDazio? They came late to the party and did not stay for long. In 2007 Spend.com sold for $77,000 […] The post Spend.com closes at $802,500 on DropCatch appe...
Josh Reason posted on X that he sold Amy.vc for $11,866. The sale took place on Afternic. First name .coms are excellent brands and many are in use for real businesses.

AI got back to first place on Afternic's top keywords list for November 2024.
