Every day we scan more than one hundred thousand domains across all the major marketplaces and pending delete lists to find domains you can buy that have sold in the past. Sale history, like the age of a domain name, is a great proxy for quality to help the cream rise to the top. Today’s list has 432 domains for sale with history.
The top sale of the day was BM.ai which sold for $51,000 at Namecheap. NameBio recorded 475 sales $100+ for a total of $454,466 with an average sale price of $957. Compared to the previous day there was a decrease of 13% in the number of sales but the total dollar amount increased by 32%. We also recorded an additional 1,641 sales below $100 for a total of $20,022. Continue reading
Staying on top of the latest trends is crucial for success in domain investing. They influence your buying decisions and clue you into the need for price adjustments. Several organizations release monthly or quarterly trend reports focusing on keywords and TLDs, but by the time they come out the information is already old news.
I’m excited to announce that our Trends report is now live, and it updates in real time! Continue reading
Yesterday there was quite the stir on Twitter after Swetha reported another batch of jaw-dropping .xyz sales. User @JackDomainer did some research and found that an overwhelming majority of her sales were still not developed, which he thought was suspicious given the price tags. Theories started flying around, and even the Castello Brothers and Rick Schwartz chimed in with vague statements alluding to some grand conspiracy. Continue reading

As far back as I can remember, even before I joined the site, NameBio updated its database once each day at midnight. When we re-launched the site in 2015 I continued with that tradition without giving it much thought. Continue reading
Let me start off by saying thank you! In about 10 hours you all did what we couldn’t do in 10 days. At a little after 2am EST PayPal reversed the bans on the NameBio account as well as all of our personal accounts. Vindication! Continue reading
It turns out if you approach PayPal calmly and rationally, they are happy to explain their reasoning in great detail. So the reason we were banned is because they thought we were associated with illegal file sharing. How in the heck could they think that about NameBio you ask? It’s simple… the Featured Listings. “WTF are you talking about??” I hear you asking. Keep reading, it’ll all make sense. Continue reading
At 5am EST I got an email from PayPal with the subject “You can no longer use PayPal.” Forty-five minutes later they banned my personal PayPal account as well. We’ve been using PayPal for many years without any issues and out of the blue, without any warning nor discussion nor appeals, they pull this. It appears to be the exact same message that Epik received a couple of weeks ago (my screenshots below). Continue reading
Well, you always could… but I certainly didn’t make it obvious or easy. For years users have been sending me reports of private sales through email. I really appreciate that selfless generosity, especially since retail sales data is hard to come by. I have manually added thousands of private reports since joining NameBio; we’re at 558 and counting just in 2020. Continue reading
