Breaking News: The Biggest Domain Sale Ever at $10 million - GoFuckYourself.com

DomBuyer · 03-25-2005, 09:06 AM

In the last few months, a single domain name changed hands for $10 million.

The sale was unreported, and both parties want it to remain that way, but I have first hand knowledge, knowing the parties involved.

I know the name, but I cannot say here what it is, except that it makes perfect sense if you know the sector (cars) and the money involved.

The price was for the domain only and not the site.

This is a reminder of how few sales are actually reported and how insane the market is right now.

It makes you wonder how long it can last, all this insanity.

it all runs in cycles - the market is hot now - and will die down for a bit and then pick back up

Jason · 03-25-2005, 09:26 AM

i remember when greatdomains sold loans.com, right before i got there..

shuki · 03-25-2005, 09:58 AM

That is great news for the whole industry. Brings the value of everyones premiums higher imho

Kevsh · 03-25-2005, 10:22 AM

Back in the day, CNet was really on top of things buying news.com, internet.com and many other generic terms. Wonder how much some of those are worth today?

a shame the name is not public, always nice to know.

Nonetheless it's apparent that the current domain market is booming.
