What Are Domain Names Worth? 2006 Domain Auction Prices
To get an idea of the value of Internet domain names recently, we've organized a list of some of the latest real domain sales (and non-sales). The sales figures are from the TRAFFIC 2006 East/Moniker Live Domain Name Action in October, 2006.
Top Dot-com (.com) Domain Name Sales
Recent sale prices confirm that dot-com domain names remain the gold standard. The top seller — the generic domain cameras.com sold for $1.5 million.
Top selling dot-com domain name sales were:
- cameras.com - $1,500,000
- forclosures.com - $150,000
- vb.com - $130,000
- sailboat.com - $120,000
- sexeducation.com - $120,000

- credits.com - $95,000
Top Dot-net (.net) Domain Name Sales
In the dot-net (.net) market, though there weren't too many in the top-dollar sales, a couple of dot-net domain names still held some power, with mortgage.net selling for $149,000, and creditcards.net selling for $120,000. There is strong affiliate revenue potential in these two industries. A surprise sale was the $35,000 offer for hun.net. It will be interesting to see what type of website goes up at that domain name.

Top Dot-mobi (.mobi) Domain Name Sales
One of the big surprises this year was the high price of some dot-mobi (.mobi) domain names. The new Top-level domain (TLD) is for use with mobile services, and reflects the growing strength of the Mobile Internet. The dot-mobi sector could very well be the next large-growth investment opportunity for the right domain names, though not all domains are suitable for dot-mobi extensions. Look for domain names for which there can be conceivable mobile services. For example, flowers.mobi would be a good place to order flowers via mobile phone.
- flowers.mobi - $200,000
- fun.mobi
- hot.boi - $40,000
- stockquotes.mobi - $27,000
- cams.mobi - $23,600
- party.mobi - $13,000
Top Dot-info (.info) Domain Name Sales
Top selling dot-info domain name sales were:
- blogs.info - $6,000
- freedom.info - $1,180
