It’s crazy that not a single LL .org sold for five figures. These definitely ended up in the hands of investors. These type of auctions need a lot of promotion (and hard work) to tap into end-buyers, willing to pay more. Makes my $25.5k sale of 360.org a standing record 🙂
Yes, these are reseller prices. Go Daddy didn’t make any effort and it shows.
Let’s see what the Enom/Namejet auction will do.
360.org was a great sale.
Value of .ORG name is about 1% of same one under .COM
Value of .org is closer to 10% for commercial terms and a lot higher for charity, medical etc. terms.
