ChicagoParks.com reaches $10,100 at NameJet
May 16th, 2008Today at NameJet, ChicagoParks.com caught fire in a heated bidding war. Although the domain name had many bidders, it was two bidders who drove the price way up. I believe this name sold too high largely because of the bidding war that took place. If you take the top 50 cities in the US and add “Parks” - all of the domains are taken. The same with States as well.
The only one I found available to take was - DistrictOfColumbiaParks.com (which I did register).

In my opinion, city/parks.com’s are great GeoDomains with many angles of development potential.
Was $10K too high? Obviously not too high for somebody out there. True domain values are always determined by the market. I’m very happy to hear about ChicagoParks.com selling for 10K because it will probably raise the value of all the other city/parks.com domains.
In the end, the site’s value will be determined by how useful its development is. Go ChicagoParks.com!

whoever won the auction decided not to pay. It’s back to public auction going for about 6k now
