CBDOil.com domain sells for $500k
Las Vegas firm scoops up domain for booming industry.
A Las Vegas CBD oil firm has purchased the domain name CBDOil.com for $500,240.
BuyLegalMeds.com, which owns virtual and physical storefronts for selling CBD products, purchased the domain the prior week and launched a marketplace and informational site today.
The firm’s CEO, Joe Vargas, provided proof of the purchase to Reglike. [Ed note: it might be on a payment plan.]
CBD (Cannabidiol), a chemical found in hemp plants, was made legal at the federal level last year when President Trump signed the Farm Bill. Now the industry is booming.
CVS will start selling CBD products in some of its stores. CNN states “The CBD gold rush has begun.”
If it lives up to its hype, $500,000 will end up being a good deal.
“We look at the domain as an authority to the entire industry and the CBD oil industry is worth billions,” Vargas told Reglike. “We think we got a great deal.”
The owner of the domain reached out to the firm through social media and that kicked off negotiations. Vargas initially offered $100,000 and then raised his offer to $300,000. The owner didn’t budge from $500,000.
“This domain is worth a hell of a lot more to us and I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to someone else,” Vargas stated.
Vargas entered the CBD oil business in 2015. He right now owns three CBD dispensaries in Las Vegas and hopes to have 7-10 within the year.
