Domain Sales - buckle up, blogging.com just went for 135k
Posted by Ahmed as Blogs, Making the Monies, Management at 10:21 PM EDT 22/06/2007The recently concluded TRAFFIC (in New York) conference had their domain auction, with the total proceeds exceeding $11,000,000. The two notable giants were creditcheck.com for 3 million (which I do agree with) and seniors.com for 1.8 million (which I don’t agree with).
There were some other interesting domains that didn’t sell (Scotland.com was priced at 3 million). Regardless, the real biggie was the one in my title - Blogging.com went for $135,000. Blogging.com itself is an actual site, thought Alexa/Compete don’t seem to think much of it.
So - $125,000 (lets give the site a value of $10k) - worth it?

lots of speculators buying up .mobi and what not. Sigh, someone told me recently that in the future these domains wont be used anymore since there will be a better way to find stuff, which i think is true, so make the best of them while they last. and if icann let us have as many TLDs as we wanted, domains would be worthless

Andrew, if you check the full auction results you will notice that out of all the listed .mobi names only two sold at the auction.

That’s pretty expensive. $135k would have been good value a couple of years ago for blogging.com but now maybe $50k is closer to the mark.
