OpenGPT.com is sold for $ 18,995!

Recently, the domain name OpenGPT.com, combining the words "OpenAI" and "ChatGPT," was successfully traded for $18,995 (equivalent to 135,000 RMB). Some believe that the value of this domain far exceeds the transaction price, suggesting that the seller might have been in a hurry to liquidate, hence the relatively low transaction amount.

Another perspective is that the domain owner might have been apprehensive about arbitration and decided to sell quickly to avoid potential arbitration from the OpenAI team.

In any case, the domain has changed ownership. Although it is not currently in use for end-user services, future investors may consider acquiring it. We will closely monitor and be interested in its future transaction prices.

OpenGPT.com was registered in July 2020, a time when ChatGPT was not as popular as it is today. Therefore, even in the face of arbitration, the domain has relatively favorable odds.

Another transaction involves the four-letter domain Miri.com, which was sold for $199,995 (approximately 1.42 million RMB). This domain was successfully traded by Andy Booth, and current registration information indicates that he is the owner. Miri.com has a registration history dating back to May 2001, making it 23 years old.

Four-letter .com domains are highly sought after worldwide, with examples used by renowned companies such as Acer (acer.com), Anta (anta.com), Audi (audi.com), Asus (asus.com), Citi (citi.com), and more.
