*List may be incomplete. Through some research, this is what I ended up with, and I placed them in order from highest price

sold to lowest price

sold
up to $1,000,000. If I somehow manage to get a better and more accurate (I think this list is pretty decent though, spent a good hour or so looking up the

sales
), let me know so I can edit/repost!

An absolute GREAT majority of these domains were resold in 2001. I didn’t post many of the years, but an overwhelming number of them were

sold then. “Dot Com Bubble” anyone? Enjoy skimming through this post checking out the most expensive

domain
names ever

sold
. These domains are definitely worth a bundle and are extremely “exciting” to look at as a domainer. We gotta try to live the dream, right? Imagine buying a couple of these back in ‘94 for the price of a nights dinner at a cheap restaurant and holding onto them… then reselling them for these amounts!

Some other “developed”

sales:

ConsumerSearch.com – was bought by About.com for $33,000,000 CASH – A fully developed website (and still is) – NY Times Article

Bored.com – $4.5 million for

domain + site

Business.com – Resold for $345,000,000 as a “business” (functional and working website)

ePregnancy.com and other eToys assets $2.150 M

    Excellent roundup here, I had not seen many of these! I just recently did a post that rounded up the top 20, but it’s very cool how you went in detail as so many domain name sales fly under the radar. Great job!
