Isnt this also a website purchase as it seems Cruises.com.au is an established affiliate site with 700~ indexed pages for a few years?

Or did they just buy the domain and no database ect

dtrade has brokered the largest reported .com.au domain name sale for this year, with $110,000 AUD for cruises.com.au. The total sale price was $165,000 which included the current website and facebook page.

Well done dtrade, it is fantastic to see big sales being reported.

Good work on separating the domain price from the total sale price too.

Actually, it doesn't seem to have impacted on the number of enquiries. There's still a contact form, there's just no 'for sale sign' hanging on the door.

Domainers, sale sites and parking co's have looked at this time and again. The more obvious it is that something is for sale the more sales you will get. Less disputes comes at a price.

Yeah Shane answered the question from the extra 45k they paid for the site.

Yeah Shane answered the question from the extra 45k they paid for the site.

In that case I don't see how this could be described as a domain sale. Splitting it up sounds like a marketing excercise.

Given the total price was $165K I think $110K for the domain is not an unreasonable valuation. A domain was sold, so it must be considered a domain sale since they separated the parts. Plus it was good marketing with the launch of their new website aswell. All in all a good result for the industry.

The sale is going to have very low credibility in my view, it sounds like a number generated to get into charts, why else would anyone publish two numbers for what is one sale? As you say, it is "good marketing", but that is not the same thing as "reliable data".

When a website is sold it is not a domain sale.

Agreed.

I don't have many .com.au domains and those that I do have are mainly for brand protection or development. I'm not spruiking them for sale, because that wasn't my intention when buying them originally.

This approach for my .com.au domains is what I'm comfortable with. The policies in this extension seem less tolerant than .com, personally I think the risk is higher and that's steered me towards modifying my approach.

The majority of my domains are .com and my approach is completely different on those.
