Indian Domain Sales Update
April 9, 2009 · Print This Article
Here is a report of the publicly known Indian domain sales since our last report.
The top sale was Gay.co.in which sold for $2,550. It’s rare to see a .co.in take the top spot.
There were two other four figure sales – RobotShop.in, which computed 1,500 Eur or about $1,971, and Color.in, which sold for $1,750 through Afternic. It’s rare to see a .in sale at Afternic and hopefully this is the start of a positive future trend.
There were a handful of smaller sales through Sedo as well – RentApartment.in let for $100, BadGirl.in sold for $90, Level.in went for an even 225 Eur or about $296, Erde.in took 100 Eur or about $132, Leg.in kicked in at $312, 416.in went for $65, and Jaa.in sold for 110 Eur or about $145.
We had previously reported the sale of KKR.in in September 2008. The purchaser turns out to have been the popular Kolkata Knight Riders and they have launched their new website. It’s good to see an LLL.in developed by such a popular enduser.
There are currently a lot of .in domains on auction at Sedo, including BusinessNet.in, Irvine.in, Charlotte.in, VirginiaBeach.in, Uly.in and Mvm.in.
Finally, as more and more domainers get into development, INForum has now opened up a Webmasters Forum where you can also discuss and learn about the development of websites.

Leg.in was a total steal, guess a lot of people didn’t catch the sale.
Gay.co.in was a total surprise.
kkr.in is excellent, lots of future for t20 names it seems!
for gud sales attractive name are reqired
I agree with you Samit. Sedo auctions are a bit of a crapshoot. All it takes is two bidders who really want a domain, and you end up with a result like Gay.co.in. If people don’t notice the auction, you end up with a result like Leg.in.
I’ve never seen Sedo promote a .in auction to the home page, which is disappointing (although not surprising).
