Sells 778.com for $23,000 — Go Daddy

Go Daddy cracks the five figure mark with three digit domain.

Go Daddy Auctions, still often referred to as TDNAM in domainer circles, is known for selling a high volume of domains but rarely very valuable ones. This past week was an exception as 778.com traded hands on the platform for $23,000.

Unlike many domains that sell at GoDaddy, this wasn’t an expired domain auction. It was an offer/counter-offer transaction.

Many of the domains at Go Daddy sell for good prices thanks to existing traffic, but 778.com likely sold since of the popularity of number domain names in Asia. 778 is also an area code in Vancouver.

This is the highest price sale I’ve seen come across from Go Daddy in at least a couple months. Other sales this past week include:

NationalGunForum.com $5,500
HomeSaving.com $4,000
LeadersIn.com $2,300
iBatteries.com $1,900
MetalGearSolid.org $1,700
Lounging.com $1,600
AlgenWeb.us $1,083
Dizajn.biz $1,005
Gardenal.org $1,005
BethMessiah.org $1,000

[Update: To clarify, these are sales from Go Daddy Auctions. The firm sells a lot of domains for good prices through other channels, counting Premium Listings, that are not disclosed.]
