According to Brandon Abbey who has been the president of Escrow.com since 2004 the sale of Porno.com for $8,888,88 which we reported earlier today, was the largest single domain sale they have ever handled.
Although Escrow.com has handled over $2 Billion dollars in transactions, and bigger domain name transactions than the $8.9 Million sale of Porno.com those where for multiple domains inside one transaction.
So Porno.com is now the official escrow.com record holder for a single domain name.
Again congrats to the Domain King, Rick Schwartz the buyer and Escrow.com.
Using the fee calculator $79,111.10
There are apartments sold every day in Manhatten for $8million-that number is not the impressive part of this story. What is VERY impressive is that Mr. Schwartz bought the name for $47K just 8 years ago and flipped it for $8 million while making money off it the entire time he held it. This is a serious home run. He took a shot and deserves the rewards.
Rick, bought it 18 years ago in 1997 for $40k.
great sale no doubt.
Oh I thought it was 2007-still a great sale and a credit to his work.
“Manhattan “that should read-type too fast.
