173.com: $300k

[sevent]

Sold for $302,790.

If you don't yet have any NNN.com names, make a deal for one as soon as you can! NNN.com have always see-sawed in price with LLL.com. LLL.com have gone way up recently, and now we have 2 recent $30k NNN.com sales and now this one.

Nope. I do own 174.com though. Willing to sell for a 5% discount compared with 173.com

Has to be a spoof, surely.

Evidence?

I've submitted several sales reports to Ron over the years and I know he checks things out before reporting them.

It has to be for some kind of big website, doubt it's a domainer speculation buy. But hard to think what 173 could stand for. Good sale for numeric holders though.

Not directed at you Sevent. Just a general comment regarding the absurd price.

173 means "Rich bastard" in Chinese

That's indeed pretty high.
Whatever the reason is, it shows that there is a certain amount of end user potential in numeric domains

Don't believe everything you read on the internets.

Look at the top 100 Chinese websites in Alexa, many are numeric sites, and a few are NNNNN.com's (including 17173.com). Also, look at the first 100 1NNNN.com's, in addition to about 40 Marchex US zip code websites, about 20 others are developed websites (including lots of Chinese sites):

Those guys who sold 173 have like 85 nnn.coms not to mention a ton of other numeric domains.

 

[dannbkk]

He probably sold it to his brother to bump up the NNN.com market, and than quietly passed it back to himself. Very Strange after the buy no further discussion on development or anything on this domain?

 

[Devil Dog]

Strange that the nameservers haven't changed.
