NameMedia turning in some blockbuster sales.
What’s going on at NameMedia, which runs BuyDomains and Afternic? They usually sell domains for under $5,000. Sure, they sell some more expensive ones, but we rarely hear about them.
The first bombshell was the sale of Ticket.com for $1.525 million. Personally, I don’t understand why this domain is worth so much, but my hats off to the sale. (Tickets.com is worth a lot, but Ticket.com is worth much less).
Then the company sold WV.com for $145,000, another strong sale.
Now it also appears the company sold Luck.com for $675,000. That sale came across Afternic’s domain sales RSS feed a few days ago. I’ve been trying to confirm it with both NameMedia and the seller, but neither have responded. The domain was owned by a Florida man, but its whois record changed to privacy on October 8.
So that’s $2.345 million in big sales on just three domains. At a typical median price of $1,200, that’s equivalent to nearly 2,000 of NameMedia’s typical domain sales. Not bad.

NameMedia has another strong sales week.
NameMedia, which sells domain names through BuyDomains and Afternic, had another big week with over $600,000 in sales. It sold Flying.com through its BuyDomains platform. The sale price of Flying.com was not disclosed, but Jets.com sold for $375,000 a couple weeks ago at Sedo.
The company’s median .com sale was $1,062 with an average selling price of $1,479. The median non-.com sale was $800 with an average sale of $1,328. These numbers do not include non-disclosed sales such as Flying.com. Many of the upper end sales are not disclosed, which may skew the numbers downward.

NameMedia presentation is worth watching.
This week NameMedia presented a webinar “How to Sell your Domain Names Fast, and for Maximum Value.” The webinar is now available for playback on the Afternic web site.
I just watched the thirty minute webinar, expecting it to be one big pitch for NameMedia. And although that’s certainly there, the webinar has some good data and information. If you don’t know much about Afternic and BuyDomains, I recommend watching the entire webinar. If you have been in the industry for a while, I still recommend watching the first section, which has some good data and ideas:
-91% of AfternicDLS buyers are end users
-Pricing your domains results in 10x higher sales velocity: “usability studies show that businesses view priced names as a more legitimate business proposal than non-priced names…perception that “make offer” domains will have their asking price materially increased once a prospective buyer indicates interest.”
-Categorized domains sell with 3x the sales velocity of uncategorized — categorical search tool is frequently used at BuyDomains
-Respond to all offers — you never know what large buyer is behind a $75 offer
-For sale notices on your parked pages have minimal impact on parking revenue
-Include a phone number in your domain sales notice on your parked page. NameMedia’s close rate for phone leads are 2x email/web leads. The average sales price from phone-based inquiries is $200 higher than other leads.
-Set realistic prices — more than 80% of end user acquired domain names are purchased from $500-$5,000.
-”Unless you own high value generics, domain sales is a volume game — play it that way”
-NameMedia’s sales people average 4-7 domains sold a day at about $2,000.

NameMedia wins charge against marketing firm.
NameMedia, parent company of BuyDomains, has successfully won a reverse domain name hijacking charge against online marketing firm SpinSix.
SpinSix filed for domain arbitration for the domain Lincs.com. SpinSix offers a product called LINCS. According to the complaint, NameMedia alleged that SpinSix manufactured evidence that the parked domain at lincs.com included links that were competitive to it. Although it’s not clear how this may have been done in this case, often times a complainant will use the search box on a parked page to find competitive pay-per-click links.
But that wasn’t even an important issue in the case, since NameMedia’s registration of the domain pre-dated SpinSix’s first use of the term lincs. SpinSix was awarded a trademark for lincs in 2009, but claimed first use back in 2004. Even if the panel granted SpinSix rights back to 2004, it was still after the domain was registered in 2003.
