Afternic.com Sells $744K In Domains Led By The Domain Hack Famo.us For $25k

August 2, 2011 by Michael Berkens

Afternic.com just released its sales for the week ending Sunday July 31st.

All reportable domain sales $1k and over totaled $744,471.

The top seller of the week was the domain name hack Famo.us at $25,000 followed by Imusica.com at $18,000.

Famou.us follows the rising trend of ccTLDs being used with the first part of a domain to complete the word or phrase.

While pronouncing the domain can be a challenge, we’ll see much more of this as new gTLDs roll out.

Interestingly it was just a couple of weeks ago that one company upgrades from a hack on the .US extension, Min.us to Minus.com.

Opportunities in the domain world are pretty vast

Imusica.com.br is a popular music site with an Alexa ranking of 182,294. Out of .BR sites it is ranked at 5,133.

    I have to take a couple of diarrhea pills after reading the list and then about 10+ Prozac pills to curb the domain depression and then drown myself with vodka.

    Please someone don’t wake me up.

    thank god for the MarijuanaGuy.

    Have to agree with you BullS. You look at most of these domains and the prices they sold for and you just shake your head wondering who in the world is buying these and what are their strategies.

    @Kevin,

    IMO, Afternic can sell manure in a plastic bag for a record price. These are actual companies and domainers purchasing the domains. I’ve communicated with such buyers in the past.

    Don’t believe in the notion you can receive the same prices. There is some strategy involved. Sometimes one can make a good sale for a mediocre domain, and then there are times that it is impossible to sell a good site.

    There are some domain names that will sell in any extension due to their high marketability (i.e. lawyers, lawyer, lawyer.info, map.us, and others). I believe domains sell well on Afternic because some random person and or company finds that they need the site and avoid negotiating for a better price. There are many buyers that pay far too much for some intelligent reason. You don’t need intelligence to buy a domain, just enough money to make a poor investment.

    I talked to a business owner today that has a brandable job site that was registered back in 1995. He is interested in selling it. Although the stats are not off the charts, the job site is highly brandable. The domain’s 16 year age is also appealing. A domain name such is worth much more that what I see with these overpriced duds.

    Correction to previous post:
    intelligent reason to “unintelligent reason”

    (imo) There is one domain that speaks perfectly for Afternic’s domain name sales list : DeadMeat.net. 🙂
