   This is just a guess at what starnine refers to but it seems when I broadcast meetings on a conference call bridge, the way to mute sounds to clear up the broadcast, you would hit *9 ?

   Starnine.com is a 19 year old domain valid pr 6 and lots of backlinks and traffic that is why it sold at that much

   Good call on starnine which is a company that for some reason had a trademark but let it go

   So looks like a good pickup

   Jogger.com is bang on, like that one a lot

   donjohnson.com seem to be a problem

   xmluk.org I wouldn’t pay $4,500 for no matter how may back links it has.

    I keep reading about these people saying great price on this name or that name and everyone looking to buy names is seeing these come across the block yet they are still going cheap….is it fair to say that the recent slowdown in the economy has finally reached the domain market? If not….then why are great names going for good prices?

    TIA

    I think the dropping PPC revenues are restricting many domainers buying power.

    Don’t forget that US domainers are also looking at tax time

    ecocar.com is a TM domain

    i guess the domainer knows this and is why it is not parked but redirecting to a completely unrelated web site.

    If it was not a TM i would have paid a LOT more than the 7k it went for but cannot assume the risk, even though i believe there are legitimate uses of this name in unrelated markets (the TM is explicitely for a competition, not an actual “car”)

    @steven – I believe the good prices are due to the fact that the true “serious domainers” and domain investors who have money is a much smaller market that people believe (yes it is growing and nice sized, but small still) plus most of these guys are self funded. If you are self funded and buy just 1 name a month at $25,000 by the end of the year, you have spent $300,000 which if you use actual after-tax money to buy with (depending on how you account and available depreciation, etc) takes $500,000 in pre-tax free cash flow. Even though there are guys banking big money on the Internet, this is still a sizable chunk of change.

    Also, the devaluation of the dollar affects ALL investors, even abroad, if they are making money just off the web for there are no geographical barriers. Even my companies here in the US can market products that pay in pounds, so competition there increases driving margins down and netting similar.

    I have a name that sold on SnapNames that will make you scream what the hell or just render you speechless for days. Kontor.com sold for $150,000. It reached the above mentioned price the very next day it was auctioned. That means it stayed the same price for 2 more days. What does Kontor mean? It took me half hour to figure out. It means Office in Swedish. Someone thought was bidding in Swedish Kronas and not dollars. In which case the price would be $25,000 and still too much, I don’t care what it means in Swedish. Sweden‘s got only 9 million people. For $150K you could pick up office.com couple of years ago.

    Looks like Kontor is a record label using Kontor.cc as its website
