Selling DMN.COM
Posted by Daniel Negari in Featured, gTLDs
For the same reasons I’m selling Negari.com which closes Tuesday on NameJet, I am also selling DMN.com. Not only is this a highly coveted LLL.com, it’s also personal because these are my exact initials. DMN is also short for DoMaiN and is a useful acronym for businesses and organizations (for example, Digital Media Network). I am truly all in with new gTLDs and I plan on selling off my remaining .com domain names I own personally or through any companies.
What will happen to short .com domains?
In my opinion, the extremely limited supply of 3 and 4 letter and number .com domains will continue to increase in value in the aftermarket. After all, with every domain registered, it only becomes harder for people to find the domains they want. Now people end up paying 6 figures to get the short domains that they want!
What is DMN?
DMN is a CCC.com (Consonant Consonant Consonant) with lots of demand domestically and internationally.
Chinese buyers prefer CCC domains, and domestic (US) buyers prefer domains that can stand for keywords like “domain” or acronyms for their business like “Digital Music Network” (which is what the domain was used for before I owned it).
The domain receives good type-in traffic, but it is being sold because I personally don’t have a need for my .com portfolio anymore.
Was DMN.com a great investment?
Almost 10 years ago in 2006, I paid $22,221 for DMN.com and I recently turned down an offer for $80,000. Looking at recent LLL.com sales as seen in the chart below, I think this will sell in the low 6 figures on NameJet.
Recent LLL.com sales

| YBF.com | $55,300 | June, 2015 |
| YYB.com | $68,000 | June, 2015 |
| PPP.com | $290,000 | April, 2015 |

| QYJ.com | $100,000 | April, 2015 |
| PDM.com | $31,050 | April, 2015 |
| WEE.com | $55,000 | April, 2015 |
| DUE.com | $130,000 | March, 2015 |

Only time will tell, but I think this should end up being a decent investment assuming it sells for $80,000 or more on auction.
Why I am selling DMN.com
Actions speak louder than words. I’m selling my .com portfolio to show that I’m a believer and supporter of new domains – specifically .xyz. As personal and rare as they are, I’m excited to be releasing Negari.com and DMN.com and putting my money behind .xyz.
I have one or two .xyz (so far)
I couldn’t believe this one was still available: ItsAllAboutThe.XYZ

Nice domain name. I hope it will sell well.
Why are you still using ” XYZ.COM ” and NOT ” XYZ.XYZ ” ???? When did you plan to sell ” XYZ.COM ???
Seems like you aren’t that CONFIDENT…..
He is not selling XYZ.com. Visit the website and you will understand why. Go .XYZ!
I understand that you are the ceo of .xyz but I question your investment intellect being that you say you will sell off all your .com domains (investment grade included) to invest in gtlds ,especially .xyz…totally not a smart move at all. I understand these comments come after the big news with Google yesterday, but the “momentum you have in .xyz is not substainable..what makes you any different from:
.casa
.online
.work
.me
.archi
.network
Nothing!! Because in the “domaining” world these extension are known but in the chocolate and vanilla real world…com it is “the default extension known the world over. Youre actually using a reverse pump and dump scheme that you will regret later whereas you pump something as worthless as .xyz and you dump primetime real estate..as in .com. 5-10 yrs. From now lets revisit this article along with comments from your readers. Good luck with your business but Im a .com kid now and forever
Also, you have a chart displaying LLL.com sale prices, I think you should put up comparables and sale prices of .xyz up as well to be fair to the domaining community as well as domain investors(of all tlds and gltds)alike.
i was gunna bid on dmn.com
but u convinced me
.com is dead
;)
Do you have a list of all your .com domains?
DN.com didn’t sell, because of You, Daniel.
You are great businessman, but your latest behavior is too aggressive. You shouldn’t fight against .com
Agree, nice name.
I’ve just stumbled across this article… I’d snapped up dmn.xyz last year for a new online venture I have planned… it’s great to know that Daniel believes the .com is worth 6 figures and that he’s backing .xyz to be worth even more going forward… wow, that’s made my day!!
I have :-
Basic.xyz
