2012 Sales Season Opens With a Million $ Deal + 2 at 6 Figures (One a Big .CA Sale)

[Duke]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. It covers the first week of 2012 sales. The New Year got off to a good start with a million dollar sale reported along with two 6-figure sales that we are the first to report. One of those is a big Canadian ccTLD sale.

Nice $1M sale... Wish I was the one holding that one.

I want to say Ron, that aside from reading the sales reports I always enjoy reading your articles, I especially liked the recent Mortgage.org article where you interviewed Sean Sullivan... Very professional and well written (as always).

Your contribution to this industry is much appreciated.

Dilemma, if anyone of us was holding dudu.com and got offered $25k off the get go, even if we countered how many of us would hold out for $1M, let alone most who would sell on the first offer.

I would probably research the name after receiving an unsolicited $25K offer. If I could determine that there was a company by the same name and could confirm they were making the offer, then of course I would counter higher. But something about that sale makes me think the initial offer was MUCH higher than $25K. I would suspect the first offer was around $750K.

Look to be a developed site out of Asia. No reason for anyone to come out with a 750k offer especially if sedo was handling the sale, best case scenario is the owner did not want to sell, or even discuss a sale, and had to be made an offer even they could not refuse.
