Fantastic Sale. It certainly highlights the ever increasing value of the .com.au namespace.

There's a big difference between brokering a sale and selling a domain you actually own or control.
A lot of used car salesmen types like to take credit for the sale of a big ticket item in this industry.
Congrats to both parties.

I don't think the domains are "ever increasing". Going in the wrong direction in my view.

It certainly fetched a decent price.
I see Ned is still down as the Tech Contact on the whois record. He should change his Tech Contact email address to something more appropriate like makeanofferforthisdomain@goldstandarddomainer.com.au
It's funny, even in semi retirement he's still topping the charts with domains he has owned or brokered or owned, sold and then brokered.
This is such a nice domain.
After.Pay.Pal <- nice sweet spot. So short, so sweet, so brandable.
"pay.com.au" < - the name itself is just a really short elevator pitch to an angel investor.

Snoopy, I have to say that up until recently, I shared your pessimism about .au. The "SS Domain Investor" had been navigating turbulent waters for a couple of years, and it looked like there was a big waterfall ahead. But amazingly, the cruise operator decided to change course in the nick of time. Are we home and hosed yet? By no means - there are certainly some rapids ahead, but to my viewpoint, I'm feeling a lot less sea-sick than I was.
Dispensing with the metaphors, I think the 9 page submission by Zak Muscovitch on behalf of the Internet Commerce Association carried a lot of weight with the auDA Board, as did the highlighting of the situation by Ron Jackson's DNJournal. But of course, I might be wrong.

Value isn't solely based on price. Besides, any demand that yields these high prices cannot come from a failing market.

LimePay just raised $6 million. They could get a much better name I reckon.

But Snoopy said .com.au are not worth anything?

I just said they were falling in value and shite, but never said they are not worth anything.

The flip side would be likely inability to get a trademark. Not sure it would be money well spent.
