DotcomAgency's
Ian Andrew Gets $358,000 for 33.com in Deal Brokered by
DomainAdvisors.com
|
Over
the years Britain's Ian Andrew
has sold hundreds of generic domains names
through his company, DotcomAgency,
but he decided to get some outside help to give
one of his best domains special attention
and it has paid off in a big way. DomainAdvisors.com
(DA) has just closed a $358,000 sale of
Andrew's 33.com in a deal brokered by DA
Senior Adviser Gina Aubrey. The domain
went to a buyer based in China where
numeric domains are especially popular.
That
is the highest numeric domain sale reported
since we started tracking and verifying domain
sales in the fall of 2003. Two other sales, both
made in 2008, came close with each topping the
$300,000 mark, but 33.com finished ahead of
both. The previous leaders were 770.com,
sold by Sedo for $343,208 and 173.com,
sold by Moniker for $302,790.

Andrew
was understandably delighted with DA's
performance saying, ""DomainAdvisors
has been a pleasure to work with. I have worked
with Gina and DomainAdvisors CEO Tessa
Holcomb (who also serves as Group General
Manager for DomainAdvisors' parent company, PPX
International) and they are efficient,
flexible and deliver smooth fast transactions. I
would highly recommend them."
|
|
Ms.
Holcomb said, "“As a young
company, DA is performing beyond
expectations. We’ve completed over $4
million in sales this year. and we’re
proud to have been chosen to exclusively
market some of the most premium |
|
domains
available including Temps.com, Sizzle.com,
QB.com, Lawyer.net and Lawyers.net
and CreditCard.net to name a
few."
|
There
was some other news from PPX
today when they announced an expansion
of their DM Pro
domain management service. Gregg
McNair, Group Chairman for
PPX. said, “Having proven our domain management system with some of the largest portfolio holders in the world, we are now
meeting the requests of many mid-sized
owners wanting to take advantage of our established
platform.”
McNair
added, “DM Pro clients will be serviced by their
own personal advisor from our DA team.
Jeffrey Gabriel, President of DA (having assumed new
duties solely in the areas of domain parking, CPA and other special projects) will be
spearheading the DM Pro initiative. |
