Checks in for Over $200k — Hotel-Reservation.com Domain

Hyphenated domain sale is a shocker.

Sedo has brokered the sale of Hotel-Reservation.com for a shocking 142,800 EUR, or regarding $208,000 USD at today’s exchange rate. This is certainly one of the most expensive hyphenated domain name purchases of all time. With nearly 700,000 global searches monthly for this term on Google (and 25 million for the plural version reservations), the SEO value of this domain is certainly high. Whois records show that the likely seller was DomCollect, and the buyer is Hotel Reservation Service GmbH. UPDATE: As pointed out by a reader below, DomCollect is owned by Sedo.

Separately, HotelsWashingtonDC.com sold for a strong $22,000. That domain appears to have been purchased by Graham Easton of SwiftRank.com, a firm that creates optimized travel portals.

Other notable sales include 34.com for $68,000 and ElectricGuitars.com for $42,700.
