Domain Summit Asia 2026
i agree, he owns some amazing names already

i am NOT saying he has bought but i noticed he was high bidder, cybertonic.
if he likes something he will buy imho at a fair price and he will get his due reward if he has bought, or if is someone else
at that price for that domain you cannot go wrong imho

he is a developer of good names so will do a good job. could be great fun to flip though, what a great name or brand 'boy' is

$45k was way less than what I expected it to go for, when I saw it in the list I immediately thought it was $xxx,xxx's, but then again there were obviously no end-users at the auction. This is the biggest problem the domaining industry faces, how do we get end-users to such auctions so that they would bid against each other? If anyone knows the answer to that question they will become very wealthy indeed.

well from what randomo said there were only a dozen or so bidders present. I seem to recall Rick making a deal in his newsletter about all the work they put into pumping this auction up to end-users. Not that I'm taking anything away from Rick. just saying

How many do you think were bidding online?

I doubt if there were that many non-domaining end-users online. Even if one end-user is online they would only be interested in one domain or at most two at the very most.

I would have hoped by now insurance companies, banks, diet and weight watching companies would have invested in domains by buying stables of them in their own niche that way reducing their respective advertising budgets, but alas it has not happened (yet).

??? are you serious... try the other way around...these domains that sold were in the Buyers favour. In general which domains do you think the Seller got a great price...

I think the buyers won. JMO

Chris you should have Boy.com in yoru signature now or something like "Proud to be a Boy!" lol lol
 
Don't want to be the party-pooper here but I think Boy.com went for for what it's worth.
Traffic hosted the elite of the domain industry and I'm sure if it was that of a bargain they would have bid it up more. They sure have the pockets.
I think it is a great name for a company (maybe clothing for youth or something) but from a monetizing point of view I would not know where to start with this name.
