Every few days we seem to publish some “big” dollar domain sales from NameJet.com, but usually don’t find them on Snapnames.com
Today is an exception, as a very good domain, in a high paying category, CheckMyCredit.com sold for $23,000. .
Since were on the subject of SnapNames.com here are so other notable sales from the last week:
bookmakers.net $5,300
alena.com $2,688
noprescriptionneeded.com $1,953
20000.com $1,269
freegaytube.com $1,008
SurveillanceVideo.com also went for $3,000
What’s up with bookmakers.net ?
Online bookmaking, offline bookmaking?
.com = 14x .net = $70 K +
anyone have insight on this domain, i see good search volume, few to no advertisers, etc.
freegaytube.com… IMO domainers are a little bit too obsessed with “tube” domains. CheckMyCredit.com sure is a nice one 🙂
I own LikeNewCredit.com Should I list it for sale and if so, where?
pretty wierd seeing wierd domains like freegaytube.com being sold i dont understand i woudnt even pay a cent for it.
PeopleSearches.com
Here come the, I own CheckMyCarburetor, CheckMyScrotum posts. Seriously though, the credit names always seem to go for too much. I guess it is because of a few past monster credit related domain sales. Of course the true value is there and it’s huge business, but there are many better credit domains and what appears to be many,many,many better domains that go sold and unsold under 23k. Bookmakers.net, FreeGayTube ehhh. NoPrescriptionNeeded could be a good buy considering some genius built a big site on the typo NoPrescriptioneeded.com

You can list it at the same place this domain sold, snapnames.com.
There is also Sedo.com, afternic and ebay

I bought NoPrescriptionneeded.com

You won’t see any advertisers under bookmakers in the US as it’s a gambling term and neither Google or Yahoo will allow ads for gambling in the US.
Of course its a large world afterall, and in the rest of it, gambling is fine and dandy so in all other countries you’ll see ads.
I think for a gambling company the domain was a good buy.
Yes bookmakers.com is worth 6 figures plus.
Oh just checked out the name, wow incredible buy. Would definitely pay more for that one.
autopsy.com should be a decent sale for snapnames in the near future
@MHB
Thanks for the explanation. I totally looked over the gambling part. I’m not a big gambler unless it’s betting on a good generic domain name. 🙂
i was bidding on checkmycredit.com and would have paid that amount if i had the money to do it. think about it…. it gets a ton of searches each month and all you have to do is throw up a CPA offer to “check my credit” that pays $8 perlead and getv 3,000 people to go for a 30 day free trial to break even. drive enough traffic and that number could be hit every month. then flip the site for 200k in under a minute. just one man’s opinion – i wish i hadnt jumped into the stock market head first or i would own that domain right now. but my stocks are up over 20 % in less than 2 months so im not bitching. i just think checkmycredit.com is an easy moneymaker, dont you?
RE: Erik Zubkov “I just think checkmycredit.com is an easymoneymaker, don’t you?”
Not really! The average person wanting to check their credit is poor and in trouble and they want a free credit check.
The average person going to LikeNewCredit.com is also poor and in trouble, but is looking for a solution and is willing to pay for it. The site could be easily monetized not only with Google AdWords, but with any number of self-help, residual income products. Or you could funnel leads to a credit repair company. Or. . .well, you get the idea.
CreditCardAPR.com sold for $1400 yesterday at Sedo. I regret that I did not bid more on it. If I wasn’t so damn poor at the moment, I would have.
Google Keywords Tool says it gets 49,500 broad searches, 8,100 phrase searches, and 2,400 exact searches a month. Estibot puts CPC at a whopping $19, and estimates value at $10K.
Check My Credit:
Broad: 14,800
Phrase: 12,100
Exact: 1,900
Estibot puts CPC at $13, and estimates value at $11K.
Either this one flew under a lot of heavy hitters’ radar, or I just don’t get the whole domain name thing.
I know you hate it when posters say this Mike, but somebody got a steal on this one.
zlf.com sold on Bido in Feb. for $3,679, the last bid that I saw on SnapNames was $8,750.00 (I’m not sure what it ended up selling for…but it had several bidders in the last hour of bidding on May 26th 2009).
Note:
according to whois, it is still in the sellers account so it’s not really a “sale” yet (until it is paid for).
