2006/7 Biggest Reported Sales
August 16, 2008
Always interesting and fun to look back and see past high sales. Note, these are the highest reported. Only a fraction of sales are reported. Most sales go unreported and very often the biggest sales are subject to NDA’s. (Non-disclosure agreements)

Big Coms
August 15, 2008
Some nice .com sales this past week.
JTR.com sold at sedo this week for $60,000
Not bad for a non-premium first latter lol. Domain was sold to an enduser by Nat Cohen.
Today on Sedo , Tonic.com sold for a cool $50,000. Buyer is Tonicgen.com
It now redirects to their site. A nice buy for them, in lost traffic alone and as the perfect domain for branding.
Next up a Biggie………………
The $260,000 sale of TripleCreditReport.com. One of the highest three-word domain sales ever reported, but perhaps not overly surprising considering that there has been a huge marketing push on triple or 3-in-1 credit report services over the past year. Those services give their customers reports from all three of the major credit bureaus in one package. The buyer of this domain already has a new site up to take advantage of that lucrative market.
Also Daytona.com was sold for $151,395 by Rick Latona.
Just in:
Sold at Sedo.com again today, 16th August 2008, PowerPoker.com sold for $160,000!
Phones.co.uk £175,000
July 9, 2008
Phones.co.uk has been sold for £175,000 (approx. $350,000)
The domain was sold in the first week of July by James Dale to a1comms.co.uk
This sale is a good sale for buyer and seller as they both got a fair deal in my opinion. Obviously the name has huge potential to be further developed out.
Tell.com $400,000
July 2, 2008
Tell.com sold this week on Sedo.com for $400,000
Be interesting to see the buyers development plans for this short generic .com
The domain dates from 1997 and is showing as updated today 2nd July 2008
The new owners are ‘Fun Mobile Ltd.’ of Hong Kong.
DataRecovery.com $1.7 million
April 27, 2008
ESS Data Recovery has purchased the domain name DataRecovery.com for $1.659 million, confirmed by company President Ben Carmitchel.The sale marks the biggest reported sale of the year and shows the promise of a targeted, generic domain name.
The seller is competitor Associated Computers, Inc. of Minnesota. Carmitchel confirmed that the transfer took place on February 1, 2008.
Top 100 Sales
April 27, 2008
The site below (click screenshot) is a great resource to see the top 100 sales.
Soldnames.com
It needs a little updating as there have been some million dollar sales lately and there are a few pending:
Some worth mentioning are Fund.com for $10 million
The biggest all cash deal for just a domain.
The potential sale of Pizza.com for $2.6 million
DataRecovery.com also sold for $1.7 million
Pizza.com
April 27, 2008
Chris Clark has sold the domain name pizza.com for $2.6m (£1.3m) - after renewing the domain for just $20 a year since 1994.
Chris Clark, 43, accepted the offer from an anonymous bidder after a week-long online auction.
“It’s crazy, it’s just crazy,” Mr Clark, who lives in North Potomac, Maryland, was quoted as saying by the Baltimore Sun newspaper.
“It will make a significant difference in my life, for sure,” he added.
Regret
Mr Clark registered the domain name in 1994, when the world wide web was just starting.
He had hoped that pizza.com would help to get a contract with a pizza firm for his consulting company.
