Was just checking the latest just sold sites and domains on flippa and saw that Rented(dot)biz sold for $30,000!

Here i thought domain sales were not that profitable anymore... Guess I was wrong!

    Interesting. I think it got sold for that amount due to the search results rather than it being a .biz domain name. I would use it as to redirect people to another site rather than an actual site. It helps to know what you are looking for when you are purchasing sites/domains to resell.

    Woha woha woha. I'm pretty sure the $30,000 is for the pagerank / search positions, not for the actual domain.. it's a biz, not a .com

      I have to agree with you, it has to have a really good PageRank and brilliant SEO and search positions to be sold for $30,000...

        No, that is not true.

        This was just a domain, and nothing more. There was zero seo done to it, and it still gets over 800k hits a month.


        People auto search for domains like this, and even visit them on accident a ton. The domain can very easily be branded.

      That's all good and well but what happens when Google makes their next change and you end up down on page 100?

      I wouldn't spend premium money like that on any type of product or service that relied heavily on Google or any other search engine. It's just not worth it nowadays... and I guess the guy selling it knows that. Pity the guy buying it didn't!

    EMD does not mean mean very much at all these days. I honestly cannot see this domain making a decent return for the buyer.

    Has anybody else bought a broad EMD and got it to rank? How competitive was it?

      I don't know. Sometimes I think it's even in Flippa's best interest to do something like this from time to time because it creates a lot of talk about their site. $30,000 isn't much to pay for a whole bunch of viral traffic to their site. This thread wouldn't have been posted if the domain were not sold.

      So, is it a conspiracy theory? Maybe there are more to these weird sales than meets the eyes.

        Conspiracy theory, or simple explanation? Like you said, it's in their interest for something like this to go. There isn't a single real reason this parked domain would fetch $30,000 under normal circumstances.

          Honestly, I don't buy this conspiracy theory at all. It's BS. Any fraud that goes on with Flippa listings is done by sellers and buyers. Flippa already has a near monopoly on the site flipping business. They don't need to do that for exposure at all.

    That is a premium domain regardless of the extension so no wonder why it sold for that amount. Many types of rental businesses can be done with that domain..

      That's true. The buyer must be some rental company that decided the domain would be a good addition to their business. For all we know they might already own the other extensions and wanted to complete the list. Good investment on the sellers part though!

    There's still money in the domain business. I think the bidding pattern on this one is a bit suspect:

    Bidder 1 Buy It Now Bid $30,000 11 days ago
    Bidder 2has bid on 62 listings from 61 sellers $140 11 days ago

    It jumped from a bid of $140 to $30,000
    Maybe the buyer just wanted to make sure he got that domain. Possibility.

    As you can see here, domains are still doing quite well, if the right domains are chosen

      Hmm, I didn't notice that. Looks even more suss.

      I wonder how many of these deals actually eventuate into the person getting the money. I've seen plenty of ridiculous listings on flippa before that were obviously just attempts to draw traffic to ones website.

        Pretty hard to believe someone would go from $140 to $30K just like that, but who knows?

          the thing is though, the $140 was for the total bids at that stage but the $30,000 was the buy it now price. so it seems like someone just decided to buy it now before anyone else did.

      Yep ... they must have wanted that domain really bad. Surprising to me because it's a .biz domain and I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a .biz.

      yeah folks ..$30K is not alot to spend if you're getting 800K visits a month traffic or whatever. If you could even convert 3% off that a month....would be like 24k leads. So in essence...usually $1 a lead is pretty average cost for quality lead...so in this example...would cost $24k to get those 24k visitors from a conversion of 3% off that monthly traffic that is already there.

      Now month 2, you do it again and build more leads...and over and over...

      Bottom line is you're buying a web property that has build in traffic already. So yeah just redirect that to another offer that converts and you're off and making money immediately.

    Highly unlikely to have sold for $30,000.

    It's either a fake sale, money laundering (suspected to be common in domain sales) or there was more secretly included in the sale than just the domain.

        - Report a fake sale for your own amusement.

        - If you are the buyer, have the seller report an amount higher than the actual selling price so that your industry nemesis thinks you swing a big one.

        - Set up a fake sale for RedWidgets.com so that you can use the "comparable sale" in your marketing of BlueWidgets.com.

        - Got something illegal to sell, but nowhere to process payment for it? Use the domain sale as the front for what you are actually selling.

        Then of course money laundering and tax fraud. I won't outline that. I don't know of anyone that has done it, but I think common sense says that it's happening given how low the bar is set to pull this off.


        If the sale looks too ridiculous to be true, it probably is. There are very few instances of a domain selling for an outrageous price. Groupon.com is one of them at $250,000, but they had VC backing and apparently felt as though they couldn't move forward without that one domain. I fail to see how rented.biz falls into that category. It's a domain with countless alternatives at a much lower price.

    I invest in domains quite a lot but I still have never bought a .biz name and probably never will if they are going for that price! lol. There would have to have been a site behind it with a lot of visitors and proven sales before I would have even considered that price tag. Some people have more money than brains I guess.

      This domain DID NOT SELL FOR $30,000k OR even $1. The same person who listed the domain still owns it according to whois and his total Flippa income does NOT REFLECT a $30K sale.

        Well, there ya go! But, my point is still valid. Companies will spend big bucks if the right person thinks that something is valuable. If your advertising budget is in the millions and you have the chance to get a domain that's easy to remember and relevant for $30K, then why not?

          I agree. I would spend big bucks for the right domain and many people do. Domaining is alive and well. A biz would never be the right domain. If you do a domain search for domains in really hot niches, you often find the exact domain that you want available in biz but taken in all other extensions. I've seen that a lot. That's because very few people want a biz domain.

          This particular auction jumped from a $140 bid to a BIN at $30K. That seemed just a bit unbelievable to me. It has been 14 days since someone hit the BIN and there's no change of ownership and no jump in the owner's Flippa income to indicate that he just sold a $30K domain.

    I am starting to believe it is a fake deal. Why? $30k for this domain is too much. Buyer decided to buy it at BIN, although highest offer was at low $xxx. Ok, I can understand that if buyer really want it, but buyer also decided to pay through Escrow.com. When you want something so badly you, once you won it, would not avoiding payment for it what buyer is doing since he/she still havent paid. We will see during the beginning of the next week. If buyer paid via wire transfer than it could take up to 5 business days to complete payment and that would be only logical explanation why this deal is still not finished.

    Gotta ask the question...

    Why would you fork out $30k for a .biz when you can get the .com for just a little bit more...

    rented.com is available for purchase - Sedo.com

    ...or potentially the same price (or less) by making an offer.

      Very interesting... Seems like this auction was a fake after all. Everyone can sleep easy now knowing that .biz domains are not worth more than .com domains these days. lol

    Also keep in mind this domain as an exact match domain DOES NOT get 832k searches per month as mentioned several times.

    Rented as an exact match search term gets "1,900" GLOBAL searches per month in Google - "260" for the US.

    No one would be buying this as an EMD for potential SEO traffic, as an exact match search phrase, unless they're totally mad.

    It would be purchased purely for branding purposes (tho it wouldn't hurt with SEO for longer tailed related keyword terms assumimg content was there).

    Domains sales are still very much profitable..it's really a matter of building an audience. Website owners that know how to do this are the one's that sell them for nice paydays like $30,000

    That problem is not many people thinks that they can put up a site in a few hours and sell it for large amounts like this in a few days.

    This is a skill that must be learned, and it does still work..in fact there are marketers that have built 6 figure businesses using this one method.
