Taking a look at Saturday’s domain name sales action and names that transacted for the second time around. ProfitNetwork.com saw better days and BuyDomains scored with PixelShare.com.
Sometimes it’s as simple as the name expired and it’s not an end user buying but rather a domain investor. Sometimes it is a sale to another end user. Other times the name even though expired is a bit more trendy and trades at a higher price.
These second time around posts can be used in a variety of ways, sometimes it’s to see the burn down value of a name, what were investors willing to pay for a name an end user once valued so high?
Perhaps it’s to see a great flip, a name acquired on the cheap that was flipped for 10, 20, 100x.
I do like looking at names that were allowed to expire at GoDaddy and then the very next year also expire, how did sentiment change, when just about all the variables are the same.
Hopefully you get something out of them even if it’s just to satisfy a curiosity.

The Drops
Archerie.com this name was sold by BuyDomains back in 2016 for $5,788 and went for just $952 on Saturday at GoDaddy auctions. Fair number of companies on Google using archerie in their domain name. Might see this one sell again.

InfoVegas.com was another name that recorded a third reported transaction. Each time on 5/9 2015, 2016 and 2020. I am not sold that the 2016 transaction actually got paid. $120 in 2015 and then $4,309 in 2016 and $245 on Saturday.
Ratgeber.org sold for $2,085 in 2009 on Sedo. It looks like it’s German for adviser or guide? It closed at $162 on DropCatch.
