The Indian Domain Sales Scoop

It has been a while now since my last roundup of Indian domain sales.  A lot has happened in the .in world since then.

The highlight was likely the Amsterdam cctlds TRAFFIC conference, where I gave a talk about Indian domains.  There were several really good sales of .in domains, both at the live auction and the silent auction.

Here are the sales from the live auction:

Fuel.in – 700 Euros ($995)
Human.in – 1,100 Euros ($1,560)
Wiz.in – 200 Euros ($280)

The silent auction went very well for .in domains – 8 out of the 32 domains that sold were Indian domains.  The results are:

Refrigerator.in – 1,064 Euros ($1,466)
Publish.in – 700 Euros ($964)
Hang.in – 532 Euros ($733)
CricketGame.in – 532 Euros ($733)
LawSchools.in – 360 Euros ($496)
Powergenerators.in – 200 Euros ($275)
Antidepressant.in – 200 Euros ($275)
ComputerDegree.in – 200 Euros ($275)

As I blogged about before, Bido has started auctioning off Indian domains.  So far they have had the following sales:

Success.co.in – $292
Translate.co.in -$375

I’m informed that there are a couple more Indian domains that will be coming up on the Bido auction block soon – namely, Pradesh.co.in and Photograph.co.in.

There have also been a fair number of Sedo auctions since our last roundup, including several four figure sales.

Leading the pack was Are.in, which took $3,716.  Kumar.in sold for $3,250.   Walk.in strode off with $2,500.  Domain.co.in went for $1,450.  Webmaster.in sold for $1,400 (a drop from it’s previous sale price in December of $2,050).

Rounding out the sales were:

Tree.in – 185 Euros ($260)
StellaMccartney.in and StellaMccartney.co.in – 350 pounds each ($576)
Kurse.in – 80 Euros ($112)
GSMHandsets.in – 50 pounds ($82)
TaxReturn.in – $260
Vea.in – 60 Euros ($84)
Wmv.in – 60 Euros ($84)
HealthShop.in – $300
May.in – $311
Prostitutes.in – $275

There is only one domain currently at auction on Sedo – ThemeParks.in.

Although not a .in domain, interestingly enough India.de sold at Sedo for $1,794.

That’s all for this week.  As usual, you can find a list of all reported sales over $100 on our blog.
