Fly.com sells for $1.76 million
DNJournal's latest Top 20 chart of domain sales prices is shown below.
Fly.com leads the list with an amazing $1,760,000 sale. The domain was brokered by Sedo and bought by TravelZoo, a publicly listed company. TravelZoo plans to use the domain to launch a travel search engine later this month.
Brian Clark, senior vice president and general manager at Travelzoo, said:
"We are delighted to acquire fly.com for our new offering. The name is a perfect match for Travelzoo's renowned approach: simple, fun, and world class. Where others see doom and gloom we see opportunities to serve travelers and advertisers with innovative approaches to finding the best values in travel."
This sale, in combination with YP.com selling for $3,850,000, as well as several other high ticket sales that remained unreported, will serve as a timely reminder to owners of premium domains not to sell their domains too low. (December's $300,000 sale of SC.com to Standard Chartered Bank comes to mind.)
Other noteworthy sales include:
- Roulette.it for $30,000 (the domain is still in escrow, but it was probably bought by a casino or casino affiliate)
- Fired.com for $20,600 (seems a bit much; it's a catchy term but what are they going to use it for?)
- Miami.us for $15,000 (looks like a steal, even for a .us domain)
- Ergo-Direct.com for $12,000 (this domain was bought by German company ERGO Versicherungsgruppe AG, which already owns and uses Ergo.com, but not ErgoDirect.com)
- WirelessHeadphones.com for $9,000 (the domain was sold to a domainer and the price seems just right)

Wow enconomy driven domains are starting to ramp up in 2009.
Good Example in this weeks domain sales is fired.com it's happening to alot of people and is a HOT topic that will continue in the up coming months.
MOTORHOME.com is for sale asking offers over $2,500,000 Euro
It has a big listing was described whatever that contain…
i could live happy the rest of my life with that amount of money
I think the sell of fly.com was pointless, why buy the domain, what is the reason behind it? To rank for fly? who wants to type fly in google and buy a holiday to africa. Just pointless smash their head with drum kits.
1.76 million?? Geez…If I made that much money off of selling my web site, I would retire in a second! haha
I wish I would have registered that domain ealier. Perhaps I would have made a lot of money rather than working hard here day and night.
I am very interested in the write's view on the leisure. As people's living conditions are increasingly favorable, diversified recreations are accepted by people. Here are some sits can buy to leisure-related products.
O No! i haven't so much money to buy one of these domains. But i will do hard work to develop such a domain.

As owner of motorhome.com I've come down to reality with our selling price. If a motorhome manufacturer or Motorhome Dealer or Motorhome Rental company is in a position to aquire the #1 Motorhome domain name, I would settle for anything over $500,000 USD plus a decent new motorhome.
