by

In what seems like a very nice sale the domain name CellPhoneRepair.com sold for a whopping $33,700.

The auction ended  several days ago but I didn’t see anyone writing about it.

The auction had 129 bidders, but two bidders went at it from the $x,xxx range all the way up to $33,700.

The domain name has an Estibot Appraisal of $23,000.

Congrats to the buyer and seller

    I get cellphonecases.com more than I get the repair domain, personally once mine goes bad if its not under warranty i just throw it out or get an upgrade

    That’s a pretty good name.
    I know a lot of small, local outfits do a pretty good business in that. Locally, it seems like whoever once specialized in jewelry/watch repair stuff has branched out into this and is making money. Saw my first local TV commercial for it recently.

    Perhaps someone’s looking to make a ‘big play’ at nationalizing the celphone repair market via the internet? Lets say a cel phone repairman makes $50 profit (net of parts) for each phone he touches. 660 fixed phones later and whoever bought this breaks even on his purchase of the category killing .com for the entire industry in the entire English speaking world?

    Whoever says there isn’t opportunity left in this game is a fucking idiot. It’s just that the opportunity these days found in places where the idiots of old are far, far too stupid to go.

    With cellphones getting cheaper it will go the way of TvRepair or VcrRepair……you can do it but sometimes its just not practical.

    Given the cell phone repair business industry did $1.1+ BILLION last year, I’d say $33k for the domain isn’t that shocking 😉

    Smartphones are expensive now — most people can’t afford to pony up another $500 – $600 for a new iPhone or Samsung if they are still under contract.

    For example, it only costs around $100 to repair a broken screen.

    iphones and high end android devices are going for $600+, and they get dropped and broken all the time. Repairs and screen replacements is one of the fastest growing businesses today. There are several outfits using the franchise concept, with new stores popping up around the country every month.

    Considering the profit margins typical of this business (much more than you’d think), $33k is a bargain for the buyer.

    Both CellPhoneCases.com and this recent CellPhoneRepair.com are equally good domains.

    The most puzzling mention in this article is the Estibot appraisal value. Still scratching my head on that one.

  20. DomainNameMojo says

    Cloud-Computing.com was a good sale at the $5,148 price. There is a high probability that Dell will never sell CloudComputing.com, so Cloud-Computing.com is the next best domain to use for cloud computing.

  22. Tony Lam says

    DNMojo,

    I agree. I think Cloud.com is the top domain in the category but that is also owned by a multi-billion dollar corporation, Citrix Systems, and will never be sold either. CloudComputing.com would be second best and Cloud-Computing.com would be the third.

    A general question I often wonder is how much does the hyphen discount the domain? As much as if it were without the hyphen but in .org or .net?
