Reported Domains Sales of 2005 over $10,000 totalled $25.9 million
Out of curiousity I put DNJournals list of reported domain name sales over $10,000 from 2005 in a spreadsheet. I found out that the total sale value of these 622 domain was $25,987,717.00. Of course, this is just reported sales and doesn’t include anything under $10,000. In reality I suspect its just a small snapshot of 2005’s actual domain market.
The top 5 reported sales for 2005, as shown in the above chart:
Fish.com, $1,020,000
Bills.com, $964,500
Earth.com, $800,000
Website.com, $750,000
Property.com, $750,000
Refinance.com, $706,850
the bottom 5:
CuteGreetings.com, $10,000
Choreography.com, $10,000
Cheap-Tickets.com, $10,000
CDZ.com, $10,000
Capes.com, $10,000
Billiger.com, $10,000
See any patterns?
I assume the pattern is that the smaller/single word domains are golden, and others can still have value just not nearly as high?

Thats pretty much it. None of the domains above qualify as “bad” domains, in fact, even the $10,000 ones are pretty damn good. When you start looking at amateur speculators portfolios and sub-$1000 domain sales there is tons of garbage — and great examples of what not to register/buy.
