Today
we learned
that NIF.com has been sold
for $450,000 in a private
transaction. We don't yet know who
the buyer is due to WhoIs privacy
and the domain still resolving to
a generic landing page at the
current registrar and the seller
prefers to remain anonymous.
We
will officially add the sale to
our Year-to-Date
Top 100 Sales Chart
when our next bi-weekly domain
sales report comes out Wednesday
evening, October 27. As
things stand today, NIF.com is
tied for the 4th biggest
3-letter .com sale reported
thus far in 2021. The biggest have
been AFS.com (the #1 sale
in our latest
domain sales report)
and NFT.com at $2
million each and AVA.com
at $792,000. NIF.com
now joins EGT.com
and ZAG.com in a
three-way tie at $450,000
apiece.

Taken
together, the six sales have averaged $1,023,666 each. 3-letter .coms
have always been a very popular category but even so, we have never seen
numbers like that for the top 3-letter acronym sales. In ALL of
2020, the top six 3-letter .com sales fell well short of $1 million TOTAL
for all six. The top 2020 sale was AOA.com at $200,000 and
the top six totaled $788,100).
This,
of course, is yet another indicator of what an incredible boom year
the domain aftermarket has been having in 2021. Most of the attention has
been focused on one-word dictionary domains but as these 3-letter
.com results show, the short acronyms are also reaching stratospheric
heights few would have predicted just a year or two ago.
