KS.cc and 837.cc among top 15 domains sold on NameJet last week

I’m someone that has always paid attention to things in the domain industry that I think go against the norm. Those little opportunities that oftentimes don’t pan out, but pay big when they do. Of course I haven’t made millions chasing these niche opportunities so I’m not telling you that you should, but I am saying it’s hard not to pay attention to.

Often it’s little blips in the radar like this that might make you think twice about a domain you’d otherwise pass on. So when NameJet put out their sales list for last week I was not surprised in the least to see .COM dominate the top ten list. XLC.com took the top spot at $49,100 and KOV.com rounded out the top ten at $15,327. No surprises there except maybe that the buyer of KOV.com got a pretty solid deal IMO.

What did surprise me is two .CC sales, KS.cc for $22,560 and 837.cc for $15,000. While I’ve owned a handful of .CC domains over the years I’ve pretty much turned away from .CC as an extension that I want to put any investment dollars into. The vast majority of what I buy and own is .COM and I don’t see that changing apart from the .IO domains that I buy every now and then.

But I’m pretty surprised – $15,000 for a 3N .CC domain? That sold for more than QVM.com and eShare.com which both sold for closer to $13,000. If you keep scrolling down the list you’ll find everything else is pretty much .COM, but these two .CC names in the top fifteen was interesting to see.

I think if I was going to start investing more in .CC I’d probably take this as a lesson that only super short names and numerical domains would make sense, and to be realistic I’d probably be sitting on them for a long time to sell them anywhere near these prices. For now, I’ll just look at it as a blip in the radar, it’s clear from the list of sales from last week that .COM is still where all the action is…but it makes me think, am I missing out by not at least considering .CC?
