I have just updated DomainPrices.co.uk with over 100 domain sales.

Where do you get your data from. Some if not all? Of those sales were private?

Admin · May 5, 2013

There are all Sedo sales. If anyone has any private or forum sales they wish to report let me know.

I don't add DL or Forum sales typically as these are "trade" sales where as Sedo is more end-user.

Yes but what I meant was, when someone sells a domain via Sedo, I thought it wasn't published?

Surprised they give this data out. Thought it was only auction ones?

Admin · May 5, 2013

Oh, I have a special arrangement with Sedo to get this data from years ago

They publish every sale, unless you state you don't want it so it will be on the list.

Ah ok thanks Alan.

Very interesting for me (being only a few months in to domains) to see some of big sales over the last few years.

Thanks admin.

Bingoapps.co.uk $5k, I think I wrote about "apps" names a few years ago on here. I registered a good few in 2008, missed some bloody good ones as well... some dam good ones.

Good forward thinking on your part. It's always a gamble to register a niche you think will become mainstream but the rewards should be there if it kicks off.

Anything "bingo" seems hot these days.

Back in 2008 the appstore had all the apps, android was non existent back then and I assumed one day it must open up and you could get apps from multiple sources. It has opened up a lot but may open up more in the future.

Up to now I have sold Taxiapp.co.uk last year for around £1200 and something else I can't remember for the life of me. HTML5 is a big threat to apps, but I think the app term will survive long past they cease being actual apps and more a generic name for the what they are, little icons on your device.

From experience - Sedo list any sale as 'One of theirs' even if they acted as purely a chosen Escrow service...

Which I must admit makes their reported 'sales-data' way off the mark in terms of Sedo sales

ABCV · May 6, 2013

So Cruises.co.uk still holds the title for the highest paid

Thanks for updating to April 2013
It's a great tool for monitoring sales.

webhosting.co.uk

I was amazed by the price tag for webhosting.co.uk, so I visited to see what amazing things have been done with the site and was left a bit disappointed, although I can see there is a lot of content for the search engines. I assume this is for potential resale?

Looks like the buyer was Pawel Ciszewski in Florida. I see he has a past record for this kind of thing.

Agreed that was a lot of money to pay to just put up a basic Wordpress blog.

I find that with a lot of big sales domains.

A site like cheapcruises co uk looks very 90s to me, but I guess it must be doing the job.

Indeed. There is a little bit of Psychology at play, In that a Blog-like site holds a visitors interest as source, because it portrays itself as a work of personal interest or dedication. (And of course, you can usually tell by the number of hyper-links in the text, that it isn't)
