At SnapNames/NameJet, top sale $75k — Sales rebound
Expired domain market roars back thanks to a few big sales.
Sales rebounded at Snapnames and NameJet last month.
The two platforms combined for 63 sales of $2,000 or more, totaling $522k. This compares to 51 domains and $262k in February.
Here are some notable sales for the month:
Akira.com $75,000 – Unlike many domains that sell for a lot of money, this one doesn’t have anything to do with SEO backlinks. The most common search result is for a manga film that is being turned into a live action movie. But the most likely future buyer is a clothing store that uses the domain ShopAkira.com. Will anyone pay the buyer’s fresh $600k $6 million asking price, though? That’s what it’s listed for on BrandBucket.
Modu.com $63,088 – Another fairly surprising sale that doesn’t appear to have a connection to SEO (although the domain was previously developed). This one has lots of potential uses, though. The name evokes modern or modular, and a number of firms use the name Modu. It’s also short for Mobile Offshore Drilling Units, an oil industry term.
Berg.com $62,500 – This domain was previously used by an electronics components firm.
Weq.com $25,111 – A bit higher than the three-letter floor price. This domain is pronounceable, although it fails the radio test when pronounced as a “word”.
Booyah.com $22,724 – The name of a stew, this name has been adopted by many firms.
LogCabin.com $19,850 – A solid exact match domain for the log cabin industry. Or a particular pancake syrup firm.
Porters.com $6,246 – This domain has many potential uses. A porter is the person who carries your luggage at a hotel. It’s also a type of beer. And many firms use this name.
Cherrywood.com $5,556 – Domain investors love their plant names.
