On
the day
that
I began my trip to Spain to cover
last month's Domaining
Europe 2012 conference in Valencia,
Simon Johnson sent me an email to
let me know about a new iPhone
app that Kikabink
International Pty Ltd. (a Melbourne,
Australia based company that Johnson
co-founded) had just released. With the
trip to Europe and the game of catch up
required after I got back I just now had
a chance to download the free app
that Simon wrote about.
It is
definitely a useful tool that you are
going to want to add to your smartphone
arsenal. The app provides access to more
than 72,000 historical domain and
website sales (dating back more than 10
years), enabling you to review sales
prices and use that information to help
value other domain names that are
similar. Johnson said the app, simply
called Domain Sales, is the first
one in the world to provide sales data
on a wide range of TLDs including
mainstays .com, .org and .net
as well as ccTLDs like .de,
.co.uk, com.au, .ca and
.us to name just a few. You can
filter for specific TLDs, domain age or
length and also set exclusions.
Johnson
noted, "Business owners often have
difficulty finding domain names, as many
of them are already registered. As such
they have to buy domains on the aftermarket.
The issue then becomes, how much
should they pay? The Domain Sales
app solves that problem by providing
comparable sales. The real-estate
industry uses comparable sales to value
property and we believe Internet
real-estate is no different."
Johnson
added, "The app provides sales from
major aftermarkets, auctions and private
sales and users can also get real-time
reports on what has just been
sold, where and for how much. We're
really proud of what the Domain Sales
App can do. It really levels the playing
field. Now anyone can get the facts and
discover how much their domain or
website might be worth."
