Domain Investing Stats and Tips

$45,000 buyer of HeyDay.co comes out of Stealth mode

November 24, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

HeyDay.co

I was surprised at the great price Grit Brokerage got for HeyDay.co. The domain name sold for $45,000. A few weeks ago.

The company that bought it just got featured in Forbes.

From the article:

A San Francisco-based company called Heyday has raised $175 million from General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures and other investors to buy, launch and grow Amazon businesses.

“We want Heyday to become the place that anyone creating a company or selling on Amazon or other marketplaces comes to,” says Mark Crane, a partner at General Catalyst.

This space has been heating up and it’s no surprise they were able to raise a lot of money.

HeyDay.com is a developed business. Heyday Records and Events. So I guess they felt .co was the best alternative. HeyDay is registered in over 128 extensions.

    Major waste of money. $45,000 for a not very good quality .co. An upgrade is possible given the low quality .com site but still this seem like a very poor naming choice.

    Good to see one more new company using the .co TLD. My website uses .co, too.

    It’s a pity that the Forbes article does not mention the new company’s website address. If it did, it would help more people to learn about the .co TLD.

    Agree with snoop,
    a very poor naming choice
    not very good quality .co.
    OR,
    VC’s have made it real clear domains aren’t critical to the mission.
    Happy holidays

    .co= coconspiratizing to buy trash for around $44,000 more than it’s worth. Yep don’t listen to industry professionals just watch a GD commercial with a 90 year old telling us she’s a professor and a glam artist who is on the cutting edge of fashion. Oh and she has to have the “bankers glasses” on for the full effect. Jesus I did not get into domain in 2005 thinking this would be the end result!!!

    If life, they say there is someone out there for everyone….. I’m not sure that is completely true for the plethora of terrible domains out there, but….. congrats to the seller, that has to be the maximum you could wring out of that domain name. I’m betting we will see this domain again in a few years, on it’s way back down.
