Name Sells for $80,000 — Claim.com Domain

NameMedia sells Claim.com for $80,000.

NameMedia, parent firm of BuyDomains and Afternic, has completed the sale of Claim.com for $80,000. The buyer is unknown but appears to have used domain financing service Domain Capital to complete the transaction.

Claim.com was just one of over 400 noted domain names NameMedia sold the prior week. Many of the domain names the firm sells are subject to non-disclosure agreements, so the total sales numbers are much higher. For example, the firm recently sold a domain for $750,000 and just the prior week sold one for over $200,000.

What’s interesting regarding NameMedia’s sales is that they are a time capsule for what’s going on in the world. For example, the prior week the firm sold Weatherize.com for $6,688. Home weatherization is part of the United States stimulus package. Another sale was SmokeBan.com for $2,788. As smoking bans permeate across the United States and world, this domain was probably picked up by someone on one side of the issue. Or how regarding FiscalResponsibility.com for $2,300? We could sure use some of that these days.

The firm sells mostly to end users for a median price of $1,200. Here are some of this stretch’s NameMedia sales that caught my attention:
