To take PrivateJet.com off of all of those domain sales lists — It’s time

It shouldn’t have been on any lists to begin with.

As stated by a lot of lists of top domain sales, PrivateJet.com sold for $30 million in 2012.

They’re basing it on this press release.

Smart people didn’t log this domain sale that was for cash and equity. You can put any value you want on equity.

But the sale might not have happened at all, equity or not.

Take a look at a fresh lawsuit filed by Don’t Look Media. (Lawsuit file) The firm that allegedly sold the domain for $30 million back in 2012 states it still owns the domain, and it’s suing another party for allegedly not holding up its end of the bargain in a development/monetization deal.

The dollar numbers involved in the form of guarantees are modest potatoes for a $30 million domain name.

The bottom line: the same firm that owned the domain ahead of the 2012 “sale” still owns it. So you can cross this domain off your list if you haven’t by now.
