someone got sacked today....... the GM !!! , big mistake and I would LOVEEEEE to know the drop proxy but we never will
GREAT to see a premium money earning domain see their market value, I think it shows the value of a .com.au and I'd also like to see what bids on NF BIM were placed, that would be the best pub conversation EVER.
easy numbers, $21K divided by 30 x $700 fridges. its a no brainer.
the guy stuffed up, fixed it , sacked somebody to pay for the problem and won't do it again ! he's probably $30K in the GREEN.

In essence this was a $20,888 renewal.

How do you value it at only 7k? Today their were 2-3 people easily willing to pay 20k+
Would think it is worth more the right buyer, I sold a generic word [Appliances + keyword.com.au] to a end user at the end of 2013 for $2XXX Range. Market is moving online and businesses are always looking for a highly brand-able name.
You have the consumer market like Appliances Online, then you have a huge B2B market with commercial appliances, I know a few guys in digital in that space the market is really picking up.

I am not surprised, it is a great business domain name.

I would definitely put it in the 5 figure basket, I just wasn't prepared to pay beyond low 4 figures myself.

a GREAT day for developers that manager their clients accounts. charge more for your service !
a TYPICAL example of POOR systems in place with PREMIUM domains owned.
EVERYBODY should take notice of today, and i will bet i'll F'UP somewhere down the track as well !!!!!!!!!!!
See the light, see the opportunity, see the potential tragedy
today was JUST ANOTHER day that tells you to stock take your domains and get it correct.

Ah yeah they can afford it and the stupid thing is that they just acquired the domain 2 years ago so they have certainly paid more than enough for it.
But for Appliances Online there is no way at any price they could not afford to bid and buy it back since:
1) they don't want a new generic competitor
2) they don't want an affiliate getting it and monetising it
3) they don't actually do anything with it (oh that's not a good point)
4) they love to spend money on things like this
5) it's probably a tax write off anyway under marketing...

Makes a lot of sense the SEDO listing is old.
How can we tell the date of a SEDO listing?
David's points also make a lot of sense.

I love when people say "oh it's just a tax write off".
It's still a cost which has to be met out of cash flow, and even if you did "write off" the full amount you're only getting a deduction of 30% (the corporate tax rate), which in this case is $6k. So the business is still out of pocket by at least $14k.
