The domain name Orgasms.com sold yesterday on SnapNames.com for $38,166 without much fanfare and without a blog post written about it during or after the auction, which is pretty unusual for a domain that sells for that amount.
The domain has an Estibot appraised value of $143K.
It’s not exactly clear from the whois records found at DomainTools.com what happened to the domain, but it does look like the domain expired at the end of March and had new registration date of May 1st
The previous whois record showed a March 27th, 2014 expiration date with the domain owned under privacy at Moniker.com (whois record date March 30, 2014) with servers at REFLECTED.NET. The previous whois records showed a creation date of back in 2007.
The next whois record showing on Domaintools is dated May 5th, 2014 showing the registrant being ” Moniker Marketplace Pro Escrow Account” but with a new creation date of May 1st 2014 with servers now set for MONIKERDNS.NET.
I do not see any whois record where the domain was ever in redemption or pending delete status, however I have no idea of how it can get a a new registration date without it being dropped and re-registered and if it did “drop” then Moniker would have appeared to have picked it up along the lines of the way Tucows picked up selected expired domains
In any event the winning bidder is “Moscari” the auction status shows “pending payment”
In all there were over 100 bidders that had back ordered the domain but the auction had 3 bidders battling it out over $10K and 2 bidders battling from $16,666 up to the final price.
UPDATE: I’ve been informed that the domain was owned by the same folks that own Stupidness.com and Dumb.com and they let it drop
And no you can’t make this kind of stuff up
Obviously the associated domains speaks for themselves.
All Puns Intended.
Who needs $38K anyway
Better to have saved the $10 renewal.
