Hotel-Reservation.com sold $208,000 at sedo - Page 2 - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**dodo1** · 09-16-2009, 10:55 AM

I'm not going to buy hyphenated domains for speculation. Although there is a good such sale every now and then, the number of buyers is still very limited.

I would consider buying a few two-keyword hyphenated domains for development and search engine optimization, though. In that case, if the domain cannot be sold you can still monetize its search engine traffic.

**Bravo** · 09-16-2009, 11:01 AM

Impressive sale.

**hugegrowth** · 09-16-2009, 11:52 AM

Most good hyphenated .com's are gone for decent two word phrases, been that way for a couple years at least.

**chillking** · 09-18-2009, 01:44 AM

Around the same time
Juegos-Gratis.com
("free games" in Spanish)
Also sold at sedo for $24,255 Thats 2 hyphenated .com names in DNJornals top 6 sales this month http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm

**Fearless** · 09-18-2009, 07:26 AM

I'm always skeptical of sales like this. I suppose all it takes is at least two foolish people in the world that want the same crap.

**vanbollu** · 09-23-2009, 04:09 AM

woo!Unbelievable.

**ebuzconsultant** · 09-23-2009, 05:12 AM

I know you're very established in the .de market,
then you know over half of all .de registrations are hyphenated?

i also see hyphenated .de sales every week without fail, big ones

i would rather have the unhyphenated every time, but sometimes the hyphenated is as good to certain endusers or if they just cannot get unhyphenated, ie, they want a kings ransom or is developed out

At the same time, these end users will also be looking for a much lower price tag, if they are settling for second best.

many regged with hyphen as first choice

they like 'em

second paragraph

Some names are naturally spelled with a hyphen or even two. Examples:
Get-Aways
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=get-aways
Get-A-Ways
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=get-a-ways

I own both get-aways.com and get-a-ways.com and HRS is welcome to contact me as I will cut 'em a deal on both. My people are from Germany and there's even a couple of cities in Germany that share my surname. After a couple of beers and brauts we'll all be friends!

**blogcrash** · 11-06-2009, 08:25 PM

In a very very very lucky day like that... maybe i can also sell my vegas-motel.com and some lady-clothes.com!!!

**Gaz** · 11-06-2009, 09:15 PM

The domain was owned by sedo, I wonder if Sedo also charged the buyer for an appraisal

I doubt this is legit, or is it confirmed?

**gafadi** · 11-07-2009, 12:02 AM

yet another domain sale which will confused 100's and 1000's and people and newbie domains and they will register 1000's of such domains and question themselves why they aren't able to get about 1000 or more for that crap

Good news for the seller. Congrats

Bought by the owner of Hotel Reservations Services (hrs.com) which is a mid-size company based in Cologne, Germany. Though I would be interested in knowing whether there were other companies also bidding for the name or else HRS got bumped.
