The domain name 50.com has been purchased and the domain transferred to its new owner, Wang Yi of China.

The domain was brokered by MediaOptions.com under a NDA.

All we know is that the domain was sold and was listed in MediaOptions.copm newsletter back in December 2014, with an asking price of $3.5 Million dollars.

The last reported two numbered .com sale was for 37.com which was sold for $1,968,000 according to DnJournal.com

Congrats to the seller, buyer and MediaOptions.com on what appears to be another 7 figure sale.

    The Domain Market has NO logic and domain appraisal NO sense:

    -Sex.com SOLD for $13,000,000 USD in 2010 and Sex.co is for sale now at Heritage Auctions for $200,000 USD … that´s less than 2% from the sale of Sex .COM (My opinion: Sex.co should be worth at list 10% – 20% from the sale of Sex.com)

    -50.com sold by MediaOptions for $2 maybe $3 million USD and 360.com sold for $17,000,000 USD … how can a NN.com be sold for lot less than a NNN.com ???

    My conclusion: “A domain name’s value is what someone is willing to pay for it” ALWAYS.

      Real Estate….. If you are looking to buy a oceanfront home in California there are many to choose from with various price options. Intellectual Real Estate… There is only one (1) sex.com in the world period. So when you think of domains, one has to understand what the value option is for owning a domain name that no one else in the world can own or buy….simple arithmatic really….

      Not all numbers are created equal. Also, there are plenty of reasons for a seller to turn down buyers’ offers until they match their asking price.

        Yes, I do agree with you but for me a NN.com is more valuable than a NNN.com , always.
        So I keep saying: “A domain name’s value is what someone is willing to pay for it”

          That is so very true FB user -didn’t someone pay $1million for dudu.com? We happen to own a companie’s .com name in China (not trademarked) this company has 60K employees and never bought their own .com name-what’s it worth to them-who knows-maybe nothing-maybe a quite a bit-time will tell.
