DomainHoldings.com posted today that they sold Luxury.Estate for $50k, somebody picked it up for a few hundred bucks a few months ago and they brokered the sale, congrats to them on this sale, and I must say that is what I love about domain investing, I like to think it is never too late and opportunities exist all around us at every moment and this is a good example.
I reg’d LuxuryEstates.net years ago and have held onto it ever since, I have received offers over the years but nothing substantial, I always thought .net would do better than it has and I still have a few hundred of them and still get a few here and there, but what is funny is I got this name 14 years ago, back in the day, before it was all over and all the good domains were taken, and I have not sold it yet, but somebody gets the brand new luxury.estate in 2014 for a few hundred bucks and sells it for $50k, so if you think you missed out think again.
But you do have to pick ’em right, today I kind of feel like the guy that got cassette.net back in the day and said “what in the hell is an mp3 and .net is obviously much better than .com, it’s the internet not the intercom” lol…
Here are the domain picks dropping on July 3rd 2014:

Domain of the day: LuxuryEstates.net – Make me an Offer!
Thanks for stopping by…
That was a great sale.
Good thing I have e.estate.
Yea good thing, because no doubt luxury.estate at $50k means e.estate is worth millions lol…
Can I have my millions now please?
lol 😀 good one Kosta!
It seems the buyer is a (wealthy) lady from the Principality of Monaco 😉
I am pretty sure she wants my LuxuryEstates.net too but I am holding out for 7-8 figures, I think we can all agree .net has not yet reached it’s full potential…

Well that didn’t take long. Premium New G’s are gaining traction and remain very friendly to domain investor’s.
I think it’s a bullshit sale. The whois phone number is Russian and the address is to the Fairmont Hotel in Monaco.
I don’t believe this sale at all. An easy way to prop up gTLD values to make them look good to domain investors.
Why isn’t this story plastered all over TheDomains, DomainNameWire, DomainInvesting etc…..
Why? Because it’s bullshit.
The phone number is Russian and it corresponds to a Russian company called ООО Лоттос групп (Lottos grupp), whose owner seems the lady I mentioned, Valery Otto, see below:
Lottos LLC groups
Country: Russian Federation
Region: Moscow Region
City: Moscow
postcode: 119019
address: Novy Arbat street, d 21
phone: +7 (925) 770-70-70
Head/Owner: Otto Valery
The Fairmont Monte Carlo Hotel, as far as I see, is located at 12, Avenue des Spélugues, while the reportedly buyer address is 19, Avenue des Spélugues.
I have no idea if this address is true or not … or what/who we can find there … I should go there and check personally to be sure
…
And I don’t know if this lady is Russian or not … or even if she’s a real person or not …
As far as I know, many wealthy Russians own homes in Monte Carlo.
That said, one of the ways to be sure this sale is true is having a substantial evidence, as, for ex, an Escrow statement.
I just quickly checked a few things, but IMHO a more in-depth investigation is needed to verify if the sale is true or bogus … 😉
P.S.
Owen Frager is saying here (http://fragerfactor.blogspot.it/2014/07/seller-of-luxuryestate-was-young.html) that Jessica Ye, based in Cambridge , MA, was the seller of Luxury.Estate (which she reportedly hand regged) … then I’m wondering why, according to historical Whois, the owner, as of Feb 10, 2014, looks Robert Green of a company called Bizi Mojo LLC, located in San Francisco, CA (see below) …
did this domain change hands 2 times or what? …

>>> Last update of WHOIS database: 2014-02-10T10:13:56Z <<<
Andrea,
Go Daddy had a bug in the early stages of EAP backordering.
It was displaying the wrong owner for a few hours.
I had it in all my domains there.
Then it was allocated to the owners account and the whois was update.
Here is the later whois I have:

Thanks for the clarification Kosta!
Thanks for the daily dropping list Mark!
I got one domain from it.
Good one:
growthhormones.com
Congrats.
Nice, but IMHO the singular is way better
I agree but that’s not available for sale 😉
I think it’s a great pick up Abdul, congratulations…
