DNBolt.com took on a pretty big project and just released their findings. The goal was to look at Namebio reported sales and find which names once sold, were available to register again. There are over 3,900 names.
The post shows how so many sales are one off, one time sales. Some of the names would be hard to resell.
From the blog:
Enough of my ranting. The purpose of this post is to share my discoveries to the passionate domain investing community. I assigned myself a task which was to find ALL Namebio Sold Domains from the begin of time which are now available to re-register. Was this task successfully completed? Affirmative!
You can find the whole list here
Can dnbolt.com become a potential threat to the big players in domaining? Was the list scrapped from namebio without any abuse or getting blocked? Because I am sure that Michael mentioned somewhere on namepros that his site is bot proof.
Anyway interesting discoveries.
Thanks for sharing but looking at those sales, I wonder why they were even bought at first place! So poor quality 😀
Right or unique, look at the top sale Cenkempus.com for $15,600 it was real. Name of a travel agency in Bali.

Once they closed the name has no value anymore.
I remember reading a post by a Namebio team member on NamePros,The namebio database has some fake sales to mess with scrapers.The list confirms the same,lot of shitty names.
I remember that I am sure it was not 3900 fake names.
The top sale Cenkempus.com was a real sale. $15,600
