Bar.com
& Pub.com Sold Together for $1 Million in Deal
Brokered by Kate Buckley's Defining.com |
|
Kate
Buckley, the Founder & CEO at Defining.com,
has closed a combined sale of Bar.com and Pub.com
for $1 million. Kate, who was profiled in a
2018 DNJournal Cover
Story, brokered the deal on behalf of
internet pioneer and domain investor Mike
O'Connor. With the two domains valued at
$500,000 each, they will rank as the 4th
highest publicly reported domain sales so far in
2026 (they will be placed on our charts, including
the YTD
Top Sales list, when our next
bi-weekly domain
sales report is released Wednesday
evening, April 1). After an agreement on Bar.com
and Pub.com was reached, Mike also gave the buyer
Bar.net as a free bonus. |

Bar.com
& Pub.com are the latest in a long string of
top tier sales that Mike has made over the
years, including Corp.com, Place.com, Haven.com,
Company.com and Ing.com among others. Defining.com
is currently brokering another gem from Michael's
collection in Shelter.com). 
Industry
veterans will remember photos like this of the
always personable Mike O'Conner at early
domain conferences when he had tags showing
the domain names in his portfolio pinned to his
shirt. The first time we saw him we thought "no
one could possibly have that many great domain
names!" but Mike was and still is the real
deal.
Regarding
his latest sales, Mike said,
"I was delighted when Kate agreed to
take on the tricky job of selling two
extremely generic domains. Those who know
her will not be surprised to hear that she
made promises she could keep and kept her
promises. It was a pleasure working with
Kate—couldn’t have done it without her! I’ve owned the domains
for a long time, and she brought a great
buyer and a great price!" Kated
noted, "It’s always gratifying
to put a win/win transaction together, and
never more so than when dealing with a
client we so like and respect—particularly
one with such a deep and fascinating
history in both internet protocol and
domains. Mike was a pleasure to work
with from beginning to end!" |
