The domain name Treat.co just crossed the Sedo.com sales wire selling for $19,000.
The domain was bought by the Seller also from Sedo, back in December 2011 for $1,050.
So its a 19X return in about 30 months.
Not bad.
The domain name is already active and appears to be a new Pet site, that will be coming soon.
Congrats to the buyer and seller.
Not bad at all. I just sold one ,paid $8 for it 4 years ago, just sold $28985 .Good return eh ?. Sorry im boasting.
Congrats John, will the sale eventually be announced to someone like Ron Jackson at DN Journal ?
Hello there johnuk my name is Andy.
I just want to congratulate you on your amazing R.O.I
that is the true meaning of go getter to say the least.
also I would like to ask how as a domain investor
do you get your domains selected for any Sedo auction because it seems
like you have to many requirements to reach in order for Sedo
to select a domain for any auction.
basically what I’m asking is, what is your strategy for having a domain name such as
Treat.co get selected for this particular auction or any auction that Sedo run each month.
Hmm, and just as I post I receive the closing statement from Escrow.com .Ah at least I can eat again .
Boast away guys no problem with success stories we at thedomains.com root for all of you to be successful
I should add regarding that sale. I thought I would check on that well know Estibot or whatever it is as to what it valued the domain at . You know what it said ?. Appraisal Overview: EstiBot Value: $ 0 USD REALLY . So much for that then.
@Raymond Hackney To be honest I doubt it as couldnt be verified anyway . Now need to keep going get a few more, before WW3 starts !.
Ok, ty.
Why would anyone want to register domains if they believed that was starting ?
Maybe they don’t ?. Anyway lets not discuss politics,its booooooring.

“So its a 19X return in about 30 months.”
Technically, to be totally pedantic about it, it’s only an 18x “return” in about 30 months. The first $1,000 was return OF capital invested, the remaining $18,000 was return ON capital invested. That’s why it’s an 1,800% ROI and not a 1,900% ROI. Naturally, all this further assumes that transaction costs are ignored. Which they shouldn’t be when most domain name brokers (rightfully) charge upwards of 15% to 20% of the sales price and escrow fees take out another percentage slice. Then there’s potential income taxes that reduce the return even further. Still, yes, the Sales Price ÷ Purchase Price was 19x. 🙂
Is this news worthy because this kind of thing is so unheard of?
If someone bought a .com for $1000, then sold it for $19k 4 years later it would barely raise an eyebrow.
