The Top 5 for 2-8-17 TFS.com sells for $47,250

February 9, 2017 by Raymond Hackney

The Top 5 is a daily look at the top 5 sales from the previous day. These are sales recorded by Namebio.

The top sale on Wednesday was TFS.com which closed at $47,250 on NameJet. Looked to be developed back in 2008, parked for years after.

2. Brain.ai Namebio is showing this at $5,100, I watched the auction close on Sedo at $9,000 and emailed Michael at Namebio to ask why it’s showing $5,100, that bid looked surpassed by the next bidder who popped it to $7,000 and eventually two more bids that took it to $9,000.

3. 7s.cc closed at $4,000 on NameJet. I thought this might go a little higher.

4. Juyouhui.com closed at $3,700 on DropCatch. Juyouhui” means huge discount or collect discount in Chinese according to Cynthia at DN.com.

5. BeFirst.com closed at $3,156 on NameJet. I am reminded of Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights, if you ain’t first your last.

    BRAIN.AI is a great AI name, better than TOP.AI

    I inquired about this domain last year — never got a response.

    AI is here to stay.

    Question solutions blurring the lines between voice/speech recognition and artificial intelligence. A machine with artificial intelligence shouldn’t have to be reminded verbally what it’s instructions are. If the AI is being applied after speech, then it’s probably putting words in your mouth.

    @Raymond,

    I guess you could say I like AI.

    I work in AI as CTO of a company, and we just won the MIT challenge today.

    I purchased and/or registered 40 .ai domains.

    Had some high offers on 2. But not selling.

    Will be using a few for our products,

    There’s an arms race in AI among the MAFIA (Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, IBM, Apple)

    other major players: Baidu, Salesforce.com, Oracle, NVDA (but that’s based on its GPU tech which can process the big data from ML and DP platforms.

    Take a look at many companies that recently have been acquired by the BIG 5 — or are receiving funding rounds — many of these companies have rebranded as .AI companies

    It’s not easy to spin your company as being an AI company as it is a Cloud company, for example.

    Usually you need a top AI research team aboard — from one of the universities (Stanford, MIT, University of Montreal, Carnegie Mellon, Cambridge) — or about 12 other universities with strong neural networks, etc

    Top .AI research scientists are like the First Round QBs — if they go to Google, FB, Amazon IBM, or Apple — large signing bonuses and enormous salaries

    So, yes I love AI and .AI

      Thanks, I wrote about a guy going on a buying spree a couple weeks ago http://tldinvestors.com/2017/01/someone-is-going-on-a-ai-shopping-spree.html

      I looked to register a couple, Gaming and Casino, they came back registry restricted after the registration. Poker and Sex are both registered and sold in the aftermarket. Sex sold twice, second time for a loss.

      I picked up Films, reading some stuff about using Ai in the filmmaking process.

        @Raymond:

        When I register or purchase domains outside .com, I try to pick up names that fit the extension, for example:

        .Me – personalized, or Call to Action verb
        .IO – tech-related
        .TV – media, entertianment

        with .AI — I don’t see exponential value in casino, or gambiling
        sex.ai — maybe, due to sexbots, etc
        films.ai — could def gain value, as there have already been 3 films completely generated via .AI — and there will be thousands more

        of the .ai names the company in Beijing picked up, I like nano.ai, os.ai, invest.ai, story.ai

    Organ.ai which is available for registration would be a great name for a digital personal assistant that rifles through your folders and email archive and makes the tough choices on what to keep.

    I had a recent large offer for aieverywhere.com. Googled it and there seems to be a liking to the phrase . I’d like to hold it for a few years – someone’s going to want to own the tag line (I think). Any suggestions on trying to understand the value? I get it’s not about what I think it’s worth, it’s about what it’s worth to the buyer. Thanks in advance.
