Over 200 Expired Domain Sales Results, counting Kickbox.com
Joseph Peterson reviews the past week’s expired domain name sales.
The combat sport that brought Jean-Claude Van Damme to the silver screen (and eventually put “the Muscles from Brussels” to work in maracas-shaking GoDaddy commercials) had a notable expired domain sale the prior week: Kickbox.com ended at NameJet just a dollar shy of $12k. I’d say Kickbox.com is agile enough to be used inside or outside the literal ring, and we may see it developed with no reference to athletics at all.
Ballinger.com ($5.1k) is both a surname and a modest Texas town (population 3,689). In contrast, a province in the Philippines with over 1.2 million residents, Albay.com, fetched less than $1.9k. WhatAboutUs.com ($321)? Where domains are concerned, nobody is really left out unless they sit out. Whether for an individual, a tiny town, or a million plus people in a developing nation, domains like these give a voice a venue.
At first glance, Dualar.com ($570) looks like a Spanish infinitive verb; but it’s actually Turkish for “prayers”. I wish CashForJunk.com ($2k) were the rhyming “Cash for Trash” instead; but it’s still fine. PalmFarm.com was a bargain at $409, considering palm tree prices range from $100 to $500 on up.

What’s going on with GoDaddy’s $6.6k auction for the 2-year-old expired domain Puriffer.com? Archive.org has no screenshots, and I wonder what kind of website could build enough back links in so short a time to justify that price. Precisely the same question applies to BlizzBoyGams.com ($6k).
With HeadOut.com ($3.5k) we have an 18-year-old domain bearing an everyday expression with a versatile, positive meaning. That sale I can believe. The succinct LimoSales.com ($1.9k) is another clear winner, given what a limousine is worth.
Vehicles are also the focus of RePuVe.com. It’s Spanish, but it’s not a word. Rather, it’s short for “Registro Público Vehicular” – what Americans would call the DMV. I’m guessing this .com receives spillover traffic meant for the official .GOB.MX website. Something similar applies to OCESA.com ($3.2k), since a major multinational Spanish-language entertainment firm (CIE) has a live theater division called OCESA, based in Mexico and built on .COM.MX.
You probably don’t need me to translate BuenAnime.com ($1k) as “good”. Sodomia.com ($1.1k) ought to present even less of a challenge. In addition to Spanish, we also have a couple of Portuguese items: Varal.com ($1.6k) means “clothes line”; and Verao.com ($1k) – properly Verão – is Summer.
BabyOnesies.com ($1.8k) are single-piece infant body suits. Multiple trademarks exist for that product name, but none of them seems to be in good standing. So the domain was up for grabs. Speaking of infants, BabyHacks.com ($62) is a nice name for a site regarding parenting smarter not harder.

AlManzil.com ($226) is probably a hotel in Dubai rather than one of the 7 divisions of the Qur’an. Satrangi.com ($225) may refer to women’s clothing in Pakistan, yet it’s also the name of a Bollywood dance studio in the USA.
Some of the standouts at GoDaddy include GlowBug.com ($761), UseCash.com ($630), Reactivo.com ($617), DIYKitchen.com ($553), InRehab.com ($173), and QualityTracker.com ($116). SouthwestCampgrounds.com ($260) sounds shorter than it looks and covers most of the best scenery in the USA. LittleBurro.com ($105) is a little donkey. So is a burrito.
We think we know what letter combinations make acronyms attractive, but do we? Would you have predicted these prices: XRKJ.com ($846), ZGQR.com ($710), FSZF.com ($405), and YSQM.com ($311)? When you hear someone say that Q, X, Y, Z are “low quality letters” and J, K, U, V, W are “2nd tier letters”, listen; but don’t take it on faith.
Any guesses when typo domains like wwwChampion.com ($780) will cease to be registered?
