The
headline on our latest bi-weekly domain
sales report that came out Wednesday
evening (May 11), read 3-Letter Domains Re-Stake Claim to Top of Sales Chart - Group Posts 4 of 6 Biggest Sales on Elite List.
It could be that the 3-letter fun is just getting
started! Less than 24 hours after that report came
out, I got a note from Founder and veteran broker Kate
Buckley at Buckley
Media letting me know that she had
just closed a $206,850 sale of GBR.com. In
addition to being yet another new 3-letter .com
sale, this one was especially notable because it is
almost four times bigger than the one that took
the top spot on our latest all-extension
Top 20 Sales Chart Wednesday - ODC.com at $57,611.
The $206,850 paid for GBR.com is also more than
what was paid for all four of the 3-letter
domains that landed among the top six reported
sales over the previous two weeks. Kate,
who represented the seller in the GBR.com
transaction, knows the inherent value of top tier
domains inside out and - as her regular
appearances on our top sales charts over the years
has shown - has a long history of maximizing
the proceeds from sales of those assets. We will
be charting this latest sale when our next
bi-weekly report is issued May 25th. As of
this writing, the GBR.com sale is the third
biggest 3-letter .com sale of the year to date,
joining a trio that includes the March sale of
GCP.com at $550,000 and the April sale of LWN.com
at $475,000 (you can review all of 2022's
top 100 sales to date here). Kate
said the buyer did not provide any specifics about
their plans for GBR.com other than indicating it
would be used to launch a new project. The domain
is currently under WhoIs privacy and not
resolving. |
