i like tits.
not so high prices… maybe, also the porn industry lives a deep crisis
.XXX is coming
@MHB
1995 – .XXX first proposed
Pretty standard example of why ‘hold forever’ is not a good operating strategy. Every one of these names would’ve brought a mint years ago. Now, not so much…
These asking prices are akin to people trying to get out of mania-priced houses in 2008 and 2009, ignoring the fact that things had changed and not understanding why their property wasn’t selling.
Down markets (which the adult market most definitely is) are funny; whenever they arise, a stream of idiots appear out of the woodwork, ready to sell for last years peak prices… It takes time to wash them out and the ones who don’t know how to mitigate loss will ride the sinking ship straight to wherever the bottom lies… but yeah, it’s amusing to watch…
Even those are great adult names, I would have to see all the “free adult” sites (not that I would know:-) are really killing the industry. As a “category” adult is getting killed.
the porn industry seems don’t like the .xxx TLD
Free Adult site are killing the industry but these guys are making good money… I was speaking to the owner of one of the largest free adult sites and he is make $750k profit per month….
Big number $750k profit!
Overpriced Snapnames auction once again, they only move 1% of their inventory, it is shameful.
I disagree with you LS Morgan. I don’t think these domains would have sold for much more in the old days, and definitely not a “mint”.
Chris – Just a clarification and correction on your comment – this is not a Snapnames/Moniker auction, this is a HuntingMoon Webmaster Access auction using our platform, similar to what Epik and many others have done. Although some of our customers submitted domains through us, the majority of these were selected by the auction sponsor and host and we support their efforts and hope it is successful. We have certainly had very successful auctions in this industry segment in the past – selling the most valuable names in the adult category.
Also not sure where you are getting your sales percentage either, but our sell through percentages as well as our average sale prices as a whole (combining live, extended, expired and showcase auctions), are better than any other company in our space.
Lets not forget that we are still in an industry that is in its infancy and not quite that liquid yet. I would suggest that we are still pushing the envelope in many areas to help grow the industry and professionalize it. Some names and auctions perform better than others, some are still growing in concept and structure. I think you will see a lot of positive outcomes and progress over the next 12 – 18 months in these auction segment types, so stay tunned.
Some seem a bit pricey to me ? footlong for $25,000 i don’t think so !

Sure, some will make a killing. Generally speaking, though, porn content has become like salt. Once upon a time, its price was higher than gold… Now, it’s virtually unlimited and getting damn hard to get people to pay for it. Even the subscription sites that offer fresh niche content are getting crushed between torrents and free sites pirating their content. This will only get worse as consuming patterns shift towards younger people who are savvy enough to avoid using credit cards to get porn.
Had a chance to get in the tech/marketing side of adult in the mid 00′s, kinda glad I didn’t bother.
with the advent of google instant would anyone end up doing a search for “sex” ? sex and the city and sexting perhaps but sex in the classic adult search sense is prob dead.
WOW! Some of those domains are pretty pricey! I wonder if the .xxx extension will generate amounts similar to these – If most of these well know adult named sites have a reputable .com – I start to wonder if they will even bother acquiring a .xxx extension
.XXX WILL NEVER BE APPROVED…
ICANN cannot afford a blunder,
that it could not live down!
@Landon White
“.XXX WILL NEVER BE APPROVED…”
===
ICANN is the PBS of the Internet – Do you see PBS with the .NFL ?
Head on out to .VEGAS for “the Retreat” and CES AV shows
you will see how .XXX is being deployed – without ICANN
You can submit to sales@moniker.com and we will work with our partners on properly positioning those for sale.
