WEST PALM BEACH, FL – The hyphenated domain name “TN-I.com” sold at $61,990 this past week according to the latest SEDO.com weekly domain sales report. The web address is currently parked. I’ve always avoided hyphenated domains unless the words being used are ordinarily hyphenated or it separates two extremely popular words mostly used together. There are some instances where this works well, but with TN-I, let’s just say I’m not a fan of this one. Also …

WEST PALM BEACH, FL – The domain name “PLP.com” sold at $117,500 this week according to the latest SEDO.com weekly domain sales report. The purchase appears to be an upgrade for Cleveland, Ohio based Preformed Line Products, which is also using the single generic dictionary word domain Preformed.com. Also notable is the three letter (LLL) .org domains “JSR.org” and “NYV.org” which sold for $9,800 and 8,800 respectively.

PALM BEACH – What do you do when a live and online auction produces lackluster results? Why, you re-run it again a couple of months later (Just kidding – As soon as I saw the title of the email, Back by “Popular Demand”, I thought, yea right – but NUMBERS my friends, do not lie, and those numbers show that Domaining, is indeed very much alive and well; at least at NamesCon it is.)
Yesterday, NameJet.com and RightOfTheDot.com announced via email and a formal press release …

NEW YORK – There is an old saying “Follow the Money”, popularized by the 1976 drama-documentary motion picture “All the President’s Men” which was about the Watergate scandal (I’ve yet to see the movie, but plan to).
However, in this case, I prefer not to follow the money, because it looks like it’s disappearing into a region of space-time; one exhibiting strong gravitational effects that nothing – not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape …

NEW YORK, NY – In early 2005 I became a reseller for Wild West Domains Inc., a subsidiary of the GoDaddy, signing up for their Reseller opportunity, and at that time, their “Super Reseller” opportunity. The difference between the two was that the Super Reseller provided the ability to “resell” the “reseller” opportunity and put companies underneath you, earning a small portion of your acquired re-sellers sales, sort of like a sub-affiliate or MLM (multi-level-marketing) …

NEW YORK, NY – I took the time to watch another Domain Sherpa show today – this one called “Domain Handcapping” since it was related to the upcoming NamesCon show next week from January 26, to January 30, 2019 – including “the main event” – the live auction which is held once a year.
I’m very much looking forward to attending this year and I will certainly sit in on it and maybe even purchase something, so I wanted to hear what Monte Cahn and Drew Rosener had to say about …

NEW YORK, NY – Last year about this time (June) I compared the highest valued .com sales of 2015 to 2016 which were publicly available at that time via NameBio.com (the list changed slightly today effectively creating a $2M difference and 30% decline rather than 35% indicated at that time[provided that 2015 remained unchanged]). It’s also important to note that 2015 contained two blockbuster sales for $8M each.
Today, comparing numbers for 2016 to 2017, from what data is …
