January was a great month to buy a domain name, it was also a great month to sell a domain name. That’s the beauty of this industry, there are always opportunities. NamesCon Global 2019 held a live auction last Monday, January 25th which grossed over $2.3M in sales. There were multiple six figure sales including DomainNames.com which sold for $370,000. Leads.com also sold for $435,000 and OL.com sold for $900,000. Perhaps the best deal of the live auction, Stop.com sold for only $110,000.

The list below are brandable domain sales above $3k reported to NameBio in January. There were some one word .COM steals last month (extracts.com, abdul.com, solvent, coordinator.com) and like always, there are some head scratchers (lumberjaxe.com?). Bahnmi.com was a great deal as well, that is an amazingly memorable brand. Four letter (LLLL) .coms had a strong showing in January, especially CVCV patterns like Zomo, Sego and Mexo.

A great start to 2019, domain name sales at these marketplaces are not slowing down. You can be sure that Afternic is selling as many if not a lot more domains than Sedo. Brandable .COM domains are in high demand. If you have good names and they are on marketplaces, you are getting inquiries, offers and sales regularly.
