Hi Ned

It was an end user buyer, who had approached the domain owner prior to listing on Netfleet, and agreed the price before hand. The owner wanted to put it on Netfleet so there was a degree of traceability. No arguments from us!

Cheers
Mark

Please ease my confusion!

Its a good domain for any water authority, state government, water tank producer etc especially given the current climate. The registry hasnt been updated so we can't see who purchased it!

I'm guessing the sale is the result of contacting potential end users..

Edit-- just saw Mark's post

Thanks for info Mark. It is a great result. I am selling my domains too cheaply!

Cheers, Ned

Thumbs up Record Sale - sextoys.com.au - $25,500

Great result for a great name.

This beats the previous biggest sale since deregulation of freestuff.com.au for $18,700..

Brings the total sales on Netfleet this month (we are only half way through) to $82,789.

I think things are starting to kick up a gear or two...

Congrats, big sale. Pretty sure I spoke your buyer (and seller) about that name as well over that last month or so.

Thanks DMP - let's hope it spurs on a bit more activity for .au.

Now I should correct as well - total sales valueon Netfleet this month is about $58K not over $80K, sorry.

Fantastic news for our local industry. Well done to everyone concerned! And particularly well done to Mark and David at Netfleet because your site is really looking good these days. Very professional all round.

Cheers, Ned

Default Wow... well done go Netfleet

This is great... we're finally seeing those large 5 figure sales. Fantastic news not only for the seller but also for the whole .com.au industry.

This sale will probably raise the price of all .com.au domains by about 20% because now we have real data that the domains are worth serious cash.

Maybe it's a good time for netfleet to hit the mainstream and do some PR regarding Netfleet site... as it looks awesome.
