    Only one domain over $8,500 — sheesh !

    Hobbies.com surely is a very good domain and its price is right

    Hobbies.com and iToys.com Sold before for 102k, nice profit :)

    but Hobbies.com hosts an eCommerce site, have they sold only the domain or also the site

    Hobbies is using an epik website.
    Why continue with it?

    clearly, “Hobbies” (as plural name) can have a very large field of use, as a portal for many different hobbies, so, its value may grow very much

    Obvious examples aside, lot of random, dumb-luck-sales on that list.
    Hafta remember that almost all of the retail domain buying public doesn’t understand what constitutes a good domain name either, but a few are willing to spend XXXX on what they *think* is a good domain for whatever idea they have in mind. Congrats to all those upon whom lightning struck.

    PetCemetery.com seemed cheap.

    I wonder if the owner of Hobbies had to pay 20% commission?
    If so, NameMedia made $ 59,500. gross profit from a domain they
    didn’t own.

    I know that the Afternic commission can be as low as 10%

    I guess that make my CheapHobbies.com and CheapHobby.com worth about $200 each !!!
