Domain Market Somewhat Sluggish

April 17, 2008 | domain market

Right now prices for domains don't seem to be fetching what they were about 1 to 2 years ago when buyers were paying top dollar.  I cite the somewhat chilly $2.6 million for pizza.com as a prime example.  However, also look at the current bid of approximately $1 million for dollars.com.  I don't expect that to get much higher.  Furthermore, I would expect collegetuition.net to at least reach the $1,000 barrier.  Instead it sold for only $800.  That's a bargain.  It's definitely a buyer's market. On the other hand, looking at the recent sales, some of the lower-key specialized names are overachieving.  FantasySportsBasketball.com at $500?  I am an active fantasy sports player and knowing the market well I wouldn't put that name at much above reg fee.  It doesn't flow at all so that's certainly a maximum type price.  Ongolf.com sold decently at $1,800.  I think this might lead to somewhat of an on craze in domains.  I actually have one "on" domain and I think it's a pretty good variation for domains in general so if you know of a "on" + good keyword .com it might be worth a look.
