Patent24.com. Sold recently for $2,500, vs $173 in 2007 at Sedo.

• Acquired by Switzerland-based patent law firm Davinci Partners. Domain is currently parked.  Congrats to the seller for a 12x return after commission. I admit that I wouldn’t have paid $10 for this name, but another patent firm has owned the .net and .org for 7+ years, so I’m just missing something……

KAIC.com. Sold recently for $2,500, vs $890 a year ago at NameJet.

• Owned by an individual in China. No site resolves.

InPoker.com. Sold recently for $10,640, vs $4,500 in 2011 at Sedo.

• Acquired by Pavel Egorkin, who is affiliated with mobile game developer Kama Games, which has a site developed at Pokerist.com.

HomeFit.com. Sold recently for $10,000, vs $4,679 ten months ago at NameJet.

• Domain controlled by domain management firm ComLaude. No site resolves.

No flops to be found this week.

Note: I didn’t do an exhaustive search of the ownership history of each domain. There are likely cases where there were multiple owners between the sales prices I list.

1. FO.com for $245,000

• A shortener for FashionOne.com, which is where this domain is redirected. “Fashion One is a cutting-edge, global TV network which focuses on the synergy between fashion, film and TV.” Owner is Mike Gleissner, who we mentioned previously as the buyer of CD.net. He also owns other LL.com’s such as ER.com and UI.com.

2. Exploris.com for $30,000

• The name of a new laboratory system for Germany-based Kotterman, a “leading innovator of laboratory furniture systems”.

3. Set.TV for $29,000

• “SET is an industry leading video tech company that connects brand advertisers to their audiences at the video level.” Alexa rank of 1.7 million.
• The .com is under privacy protection and doesn’t resolve.

4. Dailybreak.com for $25,000

• The name Dailybreak is a rebrand from CampusLIVE. They smartly bought the domain a couple months before the rebrand was announced, along with $5 million in VC funding. “Helping you take a break, one tweet at a time. Play Challenges. Win prizes. And remember, you earned it.” The traffic leader for this week’s domains, with an Alexa rank near 54,000.

5. Raw.co.uk for $23,250

• An upgrade from RawTelevision.co.uk. Owned by Raw TV Ltd, “Raw TV started up in 2001 and since then we’ve been busy making popular and award winning shows for broadcasters in the UK and US including the BBC, Channel 4, Five, CBS, A&E, Discovery, Nat Geo and others.” Alexa rank near 2.2 million.
• The .com is owned by consulting firm Reality and Wonder.

6 (tie). Immobilien.TV for $20,000

• “Real estate” in German, no site resolves.
• The .com is parked.

6 (tie). SDFC.com for $20,000

• Owned by “Future Capital Holdings Ltd.” of India, per Whois. Parked page.

8. BuyCarInsurance.com for $18,500

• Owned by Bill McClure, you get exactly what you’d expect at the developed site.

9. WhatsTheScore.com for $17,000

• No site resolves, owned by an individual in Malta.

10. ContactLenses.TV for $15,000

• The domain forwards to Eyecare.tv, which is thinly developed.
• The .com is owned by 1800Contacts.

• HolisticGroup.com – Sold for $2,000 recently, vs $200 in 2007. Acquired by a company that uses HolisticCommunityCare.com for their email address.

• Szukaj.com – $5,280 recently, vs $256 15 months ago at GoDaddy. The word appears to translate to ‘search’ from Polish. Acquired by an individual in Germany.

• Purchased.com – $15,000 recently, vs $1,127 in 2007. 10x+ return after factoring in commission. Acquired by ChatThreads. “ChatThreads tracks how, when and where consumers come into contact with brands in real-time, and analyzes how these encounters impact purchase behavior. We believe the most important impressions are real impressions – what the consumer actually notices.“

• Domains.in – $40,000 recently, vs $15,000 in 2011. 2x+ return after factoring in commission. Whois shows the owner as an individual in Latvia. Has a duplicate website as what exists on BDomains.com.

• Fotograf.de – $117,810 recently, vs $15,601 in 2008. Whois shows the owner as “Fotografen Online Service GmbH”. Screenshots.com shows the current site being live at the end of 2012, so this may not be a domain-only transaction.

No flops to be found this week.

Note: I didn’t do an exhaustive search of the ownership history of each domain. There are likely cases where there were multiple owners between the sales prices I list.

1 (tie). LiveTicker.com for $80,000

• The buyer was LiveSport Media, the same buyer as last week’s Spanish-language Resultados.com, which provides sports scores. LiveTicker.com does the same thing, and has an Alexa rank near 245,000.

1 (tie). Interest.me for $80,000

• The traffic leader for this week’s domains, with an Alexa rank near 16,500. Owned by CJ Group of Seoul, South Korea, the primarily Korean-language site appears to be a curated list of news/entertainment/misc topics. CJ Group “comprises numerous businesses in various industries of food and food service, pharmaceutics and biotechnology, entertainment and media, home shopping and logistics.”

3. Xingzuo.com for $74,000

• Per Google Translate, this Chinese-language site is part of a constellation / horoscope network. Alexa rank near 500,000.
  

4. ParkingGames.com for $55,000

• I had no idea that parking games were so popular…..GAKT global exact search of 300,000 per month. Ownership under privacy protection. Alexa rank near 165,000.

5. SUDI.com for $52,000

• No site resolves. Owned by an individual in California.

6 (tie). Arctic.com for $50,000

• Parked page, ownership under privacy protection.

6 (tie). Kindred.com for $50,000

• Upgrade from KindredHealthcare.com, which is where Kindred.com is currently redirected.

8. Coterie.com for $35,000

• “Collectively obsessed. The world’s first virtual vanity network–the chicest place to discover and collect top trending beauty products.“
• For those of you like me with a small vocabulary, coterie is defined as follows: “A small group of people with shared interests or tastes, esp. one that is exclusive of other people.“

9. Sourz.com for $30,000

• Whois shows Net Names as the owner, which means they probably own it on behalf of someone else. No site resolves. Best guess is an upgrade from the .co.uk for the brand of liqueur.

10. MOECO.com for $25,200

• An upgrade from Moeco.co.jp. MOECO is an abbreviation for Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd. An oil & gas company based in Japan.

Flips

• FiveStarTraining.com – sold recently for $9,999, vs $300 in 2007. A nice 33x return (before commissions). Buyer is the owner of developed FiveStarBasketball.com.

• NTNM.com – sold recently for $4,788, vs only $165 in May 2012 at NameJet….a nearly 30x return in less than a year. Domain is parked, and appears to be owned by a physician in Texas.

• FixAmerica.com – sold recently for $2,500, vs $899 in 2011. We’re not talking about fix, as in repair…..we’re talking FIX as an abbreviation for Foam Insulation Xperts. (thankfully, they own the correct spelling’s .com — experts)

Flops

• Vaccinate.com – sold recently for $2,999, vs $5,000 in February 2011. Let’s call it $450 in sales commissions (15%) for the recent sale, and that’s a nearly 50% loss before you factor in the time value of money on the $5,000 investment. The domain is currently parked, and owned by an individual in Virginia.

Note: I didn’t do an exhaustive search of the ownership history of each domain. There are likely cases where there were multiple owners between the sales prices I list.

1. AhHa.com for $112,000

• “Ah Ha is a B2B search engine. It connects users to businesses, news, and professional education across twenty industries and over four hundred professional and trade associations.” Alexa rank near 3 million.

3. W.to for $53,000

• Incomplete Whois record. No site resolves. .TO is the country code for Tonga.

4. FitnessGuru.com for $45,000

• An upgrade from the .se, which is where the .com is redirected. “Fitness Guru is one of Scandinavia’s largest supplement companies with over 75,000 loyal customers.” (per Google Translate)

• The developed site has an Alexa rank near 8 million, and is largely focused around travel/tourism. Ownership under privacy protection.

6. WinterBoots.com for $36,000

7. BlackHearts.com for $33,000

8. Apps.net for $30,607

9 (tie). Malnutrition.com for $28,000

A quick look at this list shows that gaming domains continue to garner alot of interest, with names such as:

• GameDownload.com
• ScaryGames.com
• TwoPlayerGames.com
• GameTree.com
• GameList.com
• JuegosParaChicas.com (“games for girls” in Spanish. The English equivalent sold for $500,000 in 2011.)

And that doesn’t start to get into the domains that don’t specifically have “game” in the name, such as Snipers.com, Ops.com, HeadToHead.com and many more.
