Mike Mann Sells Luxury.CO for $60k

Comments

September 3, 2011

Mike Mann is reporting that his company has sold the domain name Luxury.CO for $60,000. The Whois data has not changed yet, so it’s not known who acquired the domain name or how the domain name will be used. With the end of the summer fast approaching, this will likely be one of the top ten sales of last week.

In May of 2011, Mann’s company sold Business.CO for $80,000. It appears that domain name was purchased as an investment, and it’s currently for sale again for $200,000 via GoDaddy.

Mann was an early investor in .CO domain names, and his company still owns a portfolio of keyword domain names. The list of names for sale is available on AUX.com.

.co is the greatest thing since .com started

Mike Mann is the king and one of the most ethical domainers around.

Wow. Buy. Buy. Buy .co!

.com is tapped out.

.Co is where the next great domain wealth mining is to be had.

There is so many great opportunities with

.Co right not, it is not even funny.

LLL.Co s are still going for sub-$1000

and still many keywords going for reasonable prices.

That is a really nice sale for .co

.co is a big bubble that will burst sooner or later

@ Daniel

Please tell me how this is a bubble. I would imagine there would need to be a lot more large sales to be a bubble.

.Co has formed a nice solid foundation.

It has become a blue chip domain extension.

You cannot go wrong in investing in this space.

@ Robert Cline

Wasn’t it you who was begging for money/coupons so you could renew your .CO domain names? You’re like a cheerleader. Annoying grown man cheerleader.

Robert Cline

well, I got my wish.

I raked together $15,950 in enough in donations, funding, and my hard earned money to renew 940 of my .Co domains.

Plus god gave me a present of my own with a

$50,000.00 sale plus another $6,000.00 in domain name sales
to be able to renew.

god has blessed me.

god finds ways to reward those like myself that work hard and promote correctly the right extensions.

It is a good notice, but in my opinion, despite the high number of names already registered, sales like these still have been low.
I pray daily for the .CO be more accepted by all segments of the web.

“$50,000.00 sale”

@ Robert Cline

What name did you sell for $50,000? I don’t believe you.

September 3rd, 2011 at 8:13 pm

Robert Cline

No this is true

I would tell you the name

if you tell me how much you’ve sold

the domains you’ve sold on that list of your domains you’ve sold

to me. You can even email it to my whois info that starts with jkim@ if you like to keep it private.

I just need this type of information. In fact, key information that I require for my future pricing.

@ Cline

I’ve seen some of the garbage you own, and I don’t believe for a second you sold a name for $50k.

I have nothing to prove, especially to a comment troll like yourself. I don’t think you’re anything but a cheerleader.

September 3rd, 2011 at 8:21 pm

please do not say this.

I have escrow.com

screen shots available as proof for

perhaps just a small donation.

September 3rd, 2011 at 8:28 pm

Nice sale indeed.

Sent to a Mail Boxes Etc. in Lagos, Nigeria I’d imagine

@ Robert

If you send me the screenshot and it’s legit, I will make a $100 donation to Ronald McDonald House of NY, a non-profit organization helping kids with cancer and their families.

@Elliot why even waste a single minute attempting to verify the legitimacy of this Robert Cline person. His posts are borderline manic. Maybe I’m missing something, but I just don’t see how it’s productive in any shape or form.

Nice to see this among the dot co sales crickets. I was selling a LLL a week last spring. Lately…not so much…

If people are going to claim things, they should back them up, especially if they lack a reputation.

Anyone talking about god (little “g”)
is either 11 years old or not talking about the game God
that I’m thinking of

September 3rd, 2011 at 11:19 pm

Aron

Oops.

Maybe I’m 11.
I can’t type either

Well crap.

September 3rd, 2011 at 11:20 pm

Mark

This is worth 50-100k

September 3rd, 2011 at 11:49 pm

Nice big sale … but just like so many of the other large .CO sales we hear about … no buyer info, sometimes no whois change, no news of major development with these purchased names …

Interesting, sure. Good news for .co, possibly. But sketchy, as usual.

Anytime there is a dot co sale, you know that R Cline guy will here to BS .

Robert, you have should see your doctor and tell him you
have symptoms of manic depression…..he/she can help you, but you have to take the first step and call…..

I think .co will be no. 2 someday (5-10 years) or even no.1 eventually as it’s shorter than its older brother .com
best regards

I think this is totally AWESOME news – ‘god’ is entering the domain market!!!
Oh, nice domain sale too

September 4th, 2011 at 5:40 am

lennard

I think this is awesome news, however the timing is also extremely perfect. Did .co buy it back to have people renew their .co Domains?
Don´t get me wrong I registered quite a few in the past days because I do think the .co extension has huge potential. And you can get great generics for $10 at Godaddy these days.
Still great timing though.

@Jacek

I like the way you thinking bro.

“even no.1 eventually as it’s shorter than its older brother .com”

@E. Silver

I am prepared to show my screen shot of my $50,000.00 sale.
I hoping for funding my own domain renewal trust fund, but no matter, Ronald MacDonald house for the kids is just as good.
Once you see the screen shot of my sale, I wish for you to repudiate me of all the negative charges and name calling of me by all the unknowledgeable people.
Now the actual domain name will be covered but you will see the dollar amount along with me being the seller.
Let me know if this is agreeable to you.

September 4th, 2011 at 9:16 am

Elliot Silver

@ Robert

I assume you will give me permission to confirm that the sale was fully completed by asking the team at Escrow.com. If you leave the name uncovered, I won’t report it, but it will allow me to confirm Whois changes correspond with the escrow agreement.

September 4th, 2011 at 9:18 am

Robert Cline

Oh, one other request.

I want one of these articles written about my sale as well.

Maybe headline like:

“One of Our Own Long Time Prominent Poster Robert Cline Makes a $50,000.00 Sale.”

September 4th, 2011 at 9:19 am

Elliot Silver

“One of Our Own Long Time Prominent Poster”

You’re not one of my anything. However, I will write a post assuming I can confirm everything, which means the name must be visible. I won’t report the name though.

September 4th, 2011 at 9:22 am

Robert Cline

You can see the name but you have to promise to keep it to yourself.

September 4th, 2011 at 9:25 am

Joe

@R. Cline

It may be your occasion to prove you’ve not been trolling (assuming it’s not another of your claims).

September 4th, 2011 at 9:44 am

.co 50,000 sale

I think Robert you should report it as sale like that always some help to promote .co and I have noticed you are very into .co promotion. So do not hesitate and just do it!
