DNJournal's latest Top 20 chart of domain sales prices is shown below.
Fly.com leads the list with an amazing $1,760,000 sale. The domain was brokered by Sedo and bought by TravelZoo, a publicly listed company. TravelZoo plans to use the domain to launch a travel search engine later this month.
Brian Clark, senior vice president and general manager at Travelzoo, said:
"We are delighted to acquire fly.com for our new offering. The name is a perfect match for Travelzoo's renowned approach: simple, fun, and world class. Where others see doom and gloom we see opportunities to serve travelers and advertisers with innovative approaches to finding the best values in travel."
This sale, in combination with YP.com selling for $3,850,000, as well as several other high ticket sales that remained unreported, will serve as a timely reminder to owners of premium domains not to sell their domains too low. (December's $300,000 sale of SC.com to Standard Chartered Bank comes to mind.)
Other noteworthy sales include:
- Roulette.it for $30,000 (the domain is still in escrow, but it was probably bought by a casino or casino affiliate)
- Fired.com for $20,600 (seems a bit much; it's a catchy term but what are they going to use it for?)
- Miami.us for $15,000 (looks like a steal, even for a .us domain)
- Ergo-Direct.com for $12,000 (this domain was bought by German company ERGO Versicherungsgruppe AG, which already owns and uses Ergo.com, but not ErgoDirect.com)
- WirelessHeadphones.com for $9,000 (the domain was sold to a domainer and the price seems just right)
