Dollars.com sold for $500,000

Recently, the single-word domain name Dollars.com was sold for $500,000, marking another representative and significant transaction in the high-end English single-word .com domain name market. The transaction was facilitated by the well-known domain name broker "Mr. Senior" Mark Ghoriafi, who shared some details of the transaction process.

Dollars.com was registered in 1995 and is one of the core words in the English dictionary. It means "dollar" and has strong brand potential and industry versatility. The word is widely used in many high-value fields such as finance, e-commerce, and digital payments. Its commercial relevance significantly enhances the market appeal of the domain name itself. In addition, the long registration history also brings good reputation and SEO advantages to the domain name, making it an ideal brand primary domain name.

Talking about the progress of this transaction, Mark said:

"We started negotiating at 1 a.m. on Saturday and continued until 8 a.m., exchanging 19 emails throughout the night. Shortly after sunrise, we closed the deal for $500,000."

After completing the transaction of the main domain name, Mark also recommended a variant domain name Dolars.com (missing an "l") with common misspellings to the buyer. This type of spelling is more common among non-English users and also has certain traffic value. The domain name is priced at 25,000, and the buyer expressed his willingness to buy it.

Although the identities of the two parties in the transaction have not been disclosed, this transaction once again confirms the market's long-term demand for branded, highly recognizable English .com domain names, especially high-quality words closely related to core industries such as finance. At the same time, the successful transaction of variant domain names also highlights the strategic considerations of enterprises in brand protection and mistyped traffic interception.

The behind-the-scenes experience shared by Mark further reveals the professional collaboration, persistent follow-up and timing judgment required for high-value domain name transactions, reflecting the key role of today's domain name brokerage industry in brokering large transactions.
