The domain name TheFullStory.com was sold on Godaddy.com/Afternic.com in December last year for $2,477.
Today the company was covered by TechCrunch.com after raising $1.2 Million Dollars.
According to TechCrunch, TheFullStory.com is “trying to minimize those endless hours spent on the phone by capturing everything a user does on a company’s product using a simple script.
FullStory captures mouse movement, clicks, page transitions and more and allows for session playback for support teams to understand user flows.
The script begins recording the users movements once they are logged onto the website or app, but users can exclude themselves from being tracked
Then customer service teams can see a customer’s movements and allows them to identify bugs and send the playback session URL to the engineering team to fix.
Anyway it’s another brandable domain that is used in a way that most people would not imagine.
I wouldn’t have sold the domain for less than five figures.
TechCrunch linked to FullStory.com without THE and it appears they purchased FullStory.com recently as well.
How much did you sell FullStory.com to them 🙂
I second Jamie’s question. The good domain is FullStory.com. How much did they pay you for it?
$20K
I was hoping you were going to say 10% of the recent funding round 🙂 but $20K helps pay the bills as well! Congrats again Michael and hopefully the sting of nice sales you have been reporting keep on rolling!
You wouldn’t have sold, TheFullStory.com with the, “the,” in front, for less than five figures, not knowing who is the buyer?
Thanx.
No
I don’t think I have ever sold a “the” domain for less than five figures
thanx for your background about, “the,” domains.
For me psychologically since you never know who the buyer is, why they want the domain and what they are going to do with it, I’d rather pass a $5K sale on a brandable domain then sell it for $5K and see it rock to front of TechCrunch.com
If I get five figs for it well I can live with it
i wouldn’t want to sell it for less than five figures either but sometimes you have to sell cheaper than you want to cover renewals and such. that is the reality of many if not most domainers.
I understand that
Part of the big picture problem centers around Techy Glassholes, you know the ones that are distracted and walk out into a trains path ? These near sighted types many times are listened to when in reality you should wave them on their way when deciding your Web sights name and destnation address. This has been a lethal problem for many a start -up you never hear about again, because they chose a ( Non .Com Black hole extension ) . :
Traffic Grid Managers are best choice for assigning Web Address !

It used to be common practice for Web Masters to assign and make final decisons pertaining to an Onine Busisses Web Address. This practice spawned horrendous failure rates of Online Businesses. Now savvy Online businesses have Traffic Grid Managers making these all important decisions. This has facilitated many more Online business successes. This Key factor can make or break you, just make sure your decision maker recommends the .COM Traffic Grid Addresses!! If they do not ! , get qualified people who know Traffic converts to sales. By the way do not proceed until you have a .Com Traffc Grid Address.

Michael,
I suppose the reason you are able to negotiate such generous sales is because you are dealing primarily with inbound inquiries where the buyer has already chosen your domain versus outbound marketing efforts where the buyer started their day without even thinking of your domain and can just as easily end their day without it if you ask five figures 🙂 for a brandable.
MHB,
Gets great offers because responders know if its low ball MHB will develop it himself. We do not want to steal your thunder MHB , but this is our intuition based thought.

yeah responders lol know what michaels plans are for a domain – and who did you share this intuition with? a mirror lol
Exactly no one has any intuition and no buyer has that thought, Michael sells domain names and he normally does not sell cheap, its not a complicated story. With over 75,000 domains Michael was not developing fullstory.com.

Correct all are inbound inquiries we don’t do outbound sales, however still 98% of all incoming offers do not result in a sale
