The Year's Three Biggest Sales Were ALL Posted This Week With One Topping $900,000
By Ron Jackson
The last couple of weeks we've been wondering if buyers from China would return in force after their Chinese New Year's break. With the kinds of domains they prefer (short .com acronyms and numeric domains) largely missing from our charts in February it looked questionable. But with NameJet releasing all of their February sales this week - and some other venues chiming in with solid sales - it became obvious that a lot of those kinds of names were being sold throughout the month (domains that are being seen on the chart for the first time this week). That is a very good sign.
In fact the year's three biggest sales to date were all reported this week, led by a blockbuster $929,000 sale of [...]
[...] our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart [...] also includes eight ever popular 3-letter .coms led by a pair that tied for #8 at $53,000 each - ABU.com [...] and GFN.com through ErwanKina.com.
The two non .com sales were also ultra short and highly valued. In fact #6 C.gl at $85,000 via Flippa was the highest ccTLD sale reported so far this year [...]
[...] George Kirikos of Leap.com dug up a couple of big ones from late 2015 by going through a corporate SEC filing and a WIPO case this week. One of those was a monster deal involving the sale of CancerInsurance.com to Tranzact that could earn the seller as much as $7.9 million! the passage George uncovered said, "The purchase price included cash of $1.1 million and a liability of $2.0 million for contingent consideration that is payable if EBITDA exceeds amounts defined in the purchase agreement between November 6, 2016 and May 6, 2018. The maximum amount of the contingent consideration is $6.8 million." If it reaches the max, that amount added to the $1.1 million already paid should give the seller a very comfortable retirement!
With the final number for CancerInsurance.com still in flux we can't chart that sale but were able to add another one George found to our 2015 Top 100 Chart [...] A WIPO decision he reviewed [...]
