“The secret to successful domain sales seems to be simple: stick to your gut feeling guns.” says Theo Develegas. “Evaluate a domain’s worth using your own intuition and don’t listen to the obligatory surrounding noise telling you that the economy is down, that the domain’s worth a registration fee, or that you’re simply crazy. At least, be objective with the value of your own assets and learn the methods required to evaluate them.”
When Theo acquired the domain name just over a year ago for only $2,000. He envisioned creating a web site about earth, communication, the environment – something global and related to nature. A lot of companies use domains that end in “360.org” and He did have several inquiries from such entities, claiming “not for profit” status and thus making rather symbolic and unsatisfactory offers, which he had to decline. Theo says he is in this business for profit and although charity has its place in his personal and professional life, He was not going to let go of this domain cheap.
By working with Sedo, he was able to negotiate the price with the buyer and they settled on the $25,500 number. The domain is still in Sedo’s hands so the buyer’s name isn’t in the whois database yet.

It’s interesting that people pay such a significant amount of money for something so virtual as a domain name!
