Yikes eh...
The biggest all cash sale in domain name history was recorded over the weekend with Porn.com fetching $9.5 million cash during a silent auction held by Moniker.com. Two bids were offered for
Poker.com - one a verbal for $27 mil and another firm for $22 mil - but there has been a road block in this sale.
Sex.com sold for approximately $12M, but that price included equity.
Moniker has brokered the sale of the domain name Porn.com for $9.5M in cash. This is the largest all-cash domain sale ever reported.
There’s a big difference between a cash domain sale and equity sale, according to Domain Name Wire. For example, Business.com is frequently reported as selling for $7.5M. But this was in illiquid stock. It ended up being worth $2.0M.
The hold up in
Poker.com's sale comes from failure to produce proper paperwork showing that the current owners have a right to the
Poker.com domain name, Gambling911.com can reveal. The
Poker.com domain name has had an unusual history.
Next month’s T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in New York City will be the next showcase for valuable domains. Among the domains at the auction are Bourbon.com, Student.com, HorseRacing.com, Elections.com, and Scotland.com.
Jeez I wish I owned one of those
