Highest Hyphenated Domain Sale Ever Reported Leads This Week's DNJ Top 20 Chart

[Duke]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. Hyphenated domains have always been viewed with disdain by most American domain investors, but those in Germany take a different view and a buyer based there has paid the highest price for a hyphenated domain ever reported to us (a .com domain that went for over $200,000). .Coms dominated the action this week, accounting for 15 of the 20 chart entries. The highest non .com domain is a German language .info that went for over $16,000. The remaining places on the leader board were taken by a pair of .orgs, a .net and the lone ccTLD on this week's list, a .co.uk domain that attracted over $9,000.

Nice article.

I noticed this one:

RickLatona.com attracted $4,000 with BeautyCream.com

Anyone else think that was way too low of a price? I would have expected that one to be worth much more than that?

Nice generic - yes, the price was low even for a brokered sale.

beautycream is actually an old term for facial cosmetics


antiaging, derma related products get much more traffic and with botox on the scene, beauty creams are really on the way out.

imo...


BTW: i've been regging, selling and monetizing hyphenated names for long time now.

I just like the wording. Sounds like Rick was wearing Beauty Cream and it helped him woo a wad of cash.

Sales # 2 and 3 were both up for offers on this forum recently, wonder if the buyer was found here and paid at sedo, or if sedo actually did anything other than processed the funds...

Hotel-Reservation.com for an astounding €142,800 ($209,916)

Wow!

Thanks for the report as usual
For the #14 spot, french for tax is impot (tarife is not a french word).

Interesting - I recently sold him a couple along the same lines. I wonder how much he'll flip them for.. He must be on a beauty binge.

tarife is not a french word

Tarife = tariffs in German (plural)

An incredible over-payment. Why in the world would Germans love hyphenated names when we all know their low value vs non-hyphen names and their well known traffic bleeding problem if developed, and lack of typeins?
