Another Six-Figure domain sold! $200,000
 
Another Six-Figure domain sold... though not by me this time. LOL.

$200,000 for BIRD.com
sold on Afternic 05.05.05

$200,000... nice. I love the domain game.

doesn't matter if anyone thinks it's worth it or not because the buyer really wanted it:

After doing research, turns out new owner is CEO of PERKS.com (another great domain) and runs ZCapital
http://www.perks.com/about_execs.asp
http://www.ZCapital.com

Alexander Tabibi, M.D.
Chief Executive Officer

Alex came to Perks as CEO after years of closely following the company?s advances.

Alex?s interest stemmed from his position as President of ZCapital - a privately held investment firm based in Los Angeles that specializes in technology companies that use new mediums to deliver a range of new services. Having seen the success and failure of many companies based on the motivation and knowledge base of the employees and VAR?s of these products and services ? the web seemed to make a unified motivation portal the most efficacious and the most cost-efficient methodology for delivering real-time incentives.
And according to the ZCAPITAL portfolio (http://www.zcapital.com/portfolio.asp) they already own/manage DOG.COM (http://www.dog.com)

Quote:

Dogs Outfitters is a leading catalogue and online supplier of discount priced pet supplies. Found at www.dog.com they supply both content and products to pet owners as well as wholesale buyers of bulk products.

So now that they have DOG.com and BIRD.com, I guess the value of CAT.com just went up. :1orglaugh but I doubt CATERPILLAR will let that go cheap. LOL.

Interesting Taboo. Is there a way I can have you take a look at some of my domains. I have several blog realted ones. Thanks ...

pornguy 05-09-2005 11:16 AM

Kool info. Thanks.

Taboo 05-09-2005 11:17 AM

forgot to mention, apparently the original owner reg'd the name back in 1992. His last name was "Bird".

DomBuyer 05-09-2005 11:18 AM

Hamster.com just went up :)

Furious_Male 05-09-2005 11:19 AM

Nice numbers for domains lately.

King Adam 05-09-2005 11:19 AM

It still amazes me how much a simple domain name can be worth. Nice info.

Vitasoy 05-09-2005 02:07 PM

Dang.. that is a very nice lump sum

pradaboy 05-10-2005 06:40 AM

wow that's not bad at all... I doubt it could've been any higher for that name.

I'm surprised it went that high, but considering the buyer is a developer and after checking out the other domains they own, it looks like their ROI will be quick. dog.com is a nice site and I'm sure bird.com will be also.
