Going back five years in time this week……below is an update on those domain sales as ranked by DNJournal. 1 (tie). Gartenmöbel.de for $214,500 1 (tie). Gartenmoebel.de for $214,500 The IDN and non-IDN versions tied for first, and translate to “garden furniture” in English. Per Whois, both are owned by Aron Holtermann of AH-Trading GmbH. The IDN is forwarded to the non-IDN, which has an Alexa rank near 185,000, which makes it the traffic leader for the week. 3. Conclude.com for $22,000 “Conclude is a highend solutions provider founded in Duesseldorf (Germany) in 2002. Our mission is to offer innovative and practicable software tools for demanding construction projects as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).” Alexa rank near 600,000. 4. BestPennyStocks.com for $20,000 The only action you can take on their site is to sign up for their newsletter…..there are no links to articles. Owned by an “IMG Associates”, and when I go to their website, I’m greeted with “Impulse Marketing Group Ceased doing all affiliate business as of January 1, 2012.“ 5. ARR.com for $12,750 Parked, owned by Telepathy, which owns a bunch of other LLL.com domains and other generics, “Telepathy owns a paid-search network, and acquires and manages domain name assets including Retirement.com, Trabajo.com and Workouts.com. It is the parent company of StateVentures LLC, a publisher of regional guides anchored by Pennsylvania.com, Maryland.com, Virginia.com and NorthCarolina.com which also includes Annapolis.com, CollegePark.com and OceanCity.com.” 6.

VGMail.com for $10,000 No domain resolves, and the owner is under privacy protection. 8. FootballHero.com for $9,900 Likely a business plan that went awry…..looks like the domain was dropped in 2010, and now the domain is available for a BIN of $4,950 at Afternic. 9. CashPlus.com for $9,821 Domain is parked and under privacy protection. 10. FestishDating.com for $8,200 I’m not sure if DN Journal had a typo, or if someone actually bought the typo. Either way, FestishDating.com is available to be registered.
