The domain name Mantels.com sold for $20,300 today on NameJet.com
A nice category killer domain at a reasonable price.
Also selling today was another really nice domain, Ojos.com for $8,702
Ojos is Spanish for eyes.
This mystery of the day for me was the domain Horan.com which sold for $6,500.
I know there are a lot of people with this last name and many companies use it as well, but $6,500 for me seems like a reach.
mike,
I would assume Horan.com was bought for an end user. . As you mentioned there are alot of businesses, with that name. I know if I could get my last name for $6500 , i would consider it a steal.

Good point, we will see who winds up with it.
wonder if netidentity/hover was in this one…

If your asking as to Horan.com then the answer is no neither one was in
I was bidding on Horan.com and dropped out at 4K. I think the name is a reasonable investment with the amount of companies and people that use their last name in the URL.
Two financial companies
horanassoc.com
and
horancm.com
To either of those companies, 20K for the name would be a drop in the bucket.
Really curious who won this. I was the second highest bidder and was immediately outbid from $11k up. This is a killer domain for ecom or as a brand.
Mantels.com was a bargain. I need to start paying more attention.
BTW, Schilling sold FireplaceMantels.com for 76K back in 2006.

The horan.com auction winner is probably a domainer rather than an end-user as the same person was the underbidder at $8,602 in the ojos.com auction.
fizz: the horan.com winner is just the Namejet halvarez perhaps?
Mentals.com sells for 20K, ok than why the valuate.com estimates its value to 2500 only?
probably because you didn’t spell it correctly.
I thought it was mentos.com shit!
As an investor of Spanish names for 10 years myself, I thought Ojos.com was a “steal”. I wish I was watching this because I would of gone $10,000 + on this.
Amazing that the seller would let this go for 20k what a great buy. Though new companies like idomainmedia and gNames would probably get 3-5x that. I never even this was for sale. I guess you would call this a “Fire Sale”.

Mantels.com was a good buy.
“the horan.com winner is just the Namejet halvarez perhaps?”
Greg, I think you are right. The domain horan.com is reauctioned now. I have a feeling at least 1/3 of the high price tag Namejet auctions are driven by NameJet halvarez. Those nopay bidders are always involved in several high price tag auctions. Namejet will just use another username and continue the process. Another crazy bidder will come soon..
