Domain sales at GoDaddy up to $350k — End user

Startups and big names bought domain names on the aftermarket.

GoDaddy released its latest top aftermarket domain sales list. Keep in mind that GoDaddy doesn’t publicly disclose all of its top sales. The sales are from November so a good number of them have by now been developed. Here are the domains and who bought them.

exclusive.com $350,000 – Exclusive.com will be a fresh platform for creators to sell content. A coming soon page states, “Your own Exclusive.com payment page. Sell, deliver and track your exclusive content and receive payments within a minute. Payments to the creator!”

bodo.com $200,000 – Bodo lets you buy and gift experiences like sky diving, horseback riding, and flying. It’s based in Istanbul.

https[.]com $197,000 – I wonder if this domain gets a lot of type-in traffic. Right now, it has a zero click lander that’s sending some visitors to a page that misleads them to download a browser plugin.

linktree.com $138,000 – LinkTree is a service people use to provide one link on bios that links to all of their other social accounts, sites, etc. Think of it like .Tel was meant to be, except using an easy-to-use hosted solution. The firm uses LinkTr.ee for its site. It just raised $45 million.

clearstreet.com $125,000 – Clear Street is a prime brokerage service provider for trading equities and options.

hairplus.com $110,000 – The domain doesn’t resolve. The Whois record shows a buyer in California.

wingman.com $100,000 – Wingman claims it’s a security-minded messaging app. Ironically, it doesn’t have an SSL certificate on its site yet. (To be fair, it hasn’t launched yet.)

oder.com $100,000 – Note the spelling. It’s not odor. Maybe it’s a firm named following the Oder river in Europe? The domain has Whois privacy.

security365.com $80,000 – Softcamp, a Korean technology firm, offers cloud security solutions under the name Security 365.

aleader.com $68,500 – Whois shows someone in China.

wowlondon.com $57,500 – Wow Cosmetic Ltd, a cosmetics firm in Israel, bought this domain for its website.

aqueous.com $57,500 – A firm in California bought this domain. It’s a dictionary word for things made of water. Seems like it would be difficult to spell.

goboo.com $55,000 – Goboo is a Chinese electronics firm.
